No
For each aim he scored, the membership has paid an astounding £1.7m and with a depressing return of simply 4 strikes final season, Patrick Vieira can be delighted to doubtlessly see the again of this hulking ahead who doesn’t actually match into his model of soccer.

The Belgian additionally missed eight huge probabilities, that means that if he does get the probabilities, there’s no relying on him even ending them. For a mid-table facet like Palace, these alternatives can’t be allowed to slip if they’re to progress as a facet.
His move completion charge of 68.3% additional helps this, as his lack of link-up play mixed together with his toothless nature in entrance of aim makes him fully unsuited to the French supervisor’s slick and speedy type.
