Yeah.. he was going on about having to leave Ajax to get playing time. That didn't really work out did it.

I don't have anything against Jairo but he's on a very good salary to sit on our bench.

Will be sold this summer imo.

Although thinking about it, the programme was more about young players on the fringe of the Holland (and Belgium) team. The fact he did get back into contention for the Dutch team and got selected during the season might suggest it helped him internationally coming to Palace.

We starting this again....

Apparently on good wages so unless his willing to take pay cut to get game time elsewhere can't see him leaving maybe out on loan but we would prob have to pay some of his wages

It's almost like you need a squad. If Luka gets injured it's Jairo and Jimmy time. Also you need players to play against in training and the better our second string the better the results of training.

I think its far too early to right him off completely.

Maybe a loan out might do him good?

Last season was obviously an adjustment period for him. No way should he be sold or loaned out.

If people can’t see he clearly has ability then I give up with this place. He’s 21, capped by his country, played in UEFA cup final, but we should sell him. ****tards

I agree with your stance on him completely - But surely people are allowed to have their own opinion - And if a player is not playing then its only natural they will speculate. Who's to say Roy isn't considering moving him on anyway? He didn't even seem to play him after a brilliant game against Man City.

He has form for this. Everyone who slated Benteke this season was all sorts of swear words under the sun. The irony of course is that he also reserved an absurd amount of criticism over Roy’s appointment. What a silly sausage.

And a criteria of ‘He’s young and capped for his country!’ Hello there Mr Jeffers.

And fwiw, I think he’s looked alright. Not amazing but not bad either. I wonder if a loan spell would do him good.

Ahem, and - er - step forward Mr Martin Kelly.

No question we need a squad and when it's a fully fit squad it's actually not half bad.

Whilst we have 25,000 spectators and limited corporate revenue, to have someone on £60k a week playing a handful of games is pretty mind boggling though.

If he was an academy graduate at that age, attitudes here would be very different. Good versatile squad player who should come on strong next year. Madness to sell with RLC gone and possibly Cabaye too.

I think he will get more action this season, Roy is keen on him and wants to keep him. As do I. Only 21 and much more to come.

Depends on context though. We can only put 11 players on the pitch but we need a squad of 22 to 25 players. If Luka had been shit/injured this season then Jairo would have played a lot more otherwise we'd have had Punch and Yohan trying to play DM again......

This coming season Luka will have been at the WC so Jairo may well play a lot more early doors.

He will get more of chance next year, I like him - currently our best ball playing midfielder at present. Think him and Milivojevic will be okay but we defiantly need more. Would love Fabian Delph myself.

Best ball playing midfielder? Over Cabaye? No way. In fact, Luka is also better on the ball than people give him credit for.
