Sun Jihai?

[ajp]

So it looks like Sun Jihai might well come back. Not a bad signing I think, he did well before. Although the one major draw back would be if we, like last time, constantly lost him to the Chinese national side for meaningless tournaments, he's got to be playing for his club if we sign him.

Yeah, he'd do well for us. He seemed to be adjusting to the style of the English game, even though his temperament was a bit sus.
Though it would be an absolute nightmare for Palace to lose him for part of the season, the tournaments in Asia are not seen as 'mickey-mouse' ones out there. They equate to our European Championships or Copa America, so if we do sign him, we're just gonna have to live with the fact that 2 of our better players(if he signs) will leave us for a month or so come October.

[BIG LETTER!]

How much longer does his ban have to run? He may not be able to leave us?
