Zero goals and assists throughout a campaign is a terrible return

Palace will be glad they weren’t duped into signing him permanently

With his Chelsea career all but over, Loic Remy decided that a move across London could help reignite both his fitness and form. The former failed him again at Crystal Palace, while the latter never got off the ground when he was available for selection.

The Frenchman missed the first half of the season through various injuries before falling out with new manager Sam Allardyce after he reportedly criticised his tactics during training. Limited to just seven appearances in all competitions, failing to register a single goal or assist.

Palace will be glad they weren’t duped into signing him permanently while the 30-year-old might opt for a hop back over the pond in the hope that home comforts might cure what ails him. Having shown real promise at Newcastle United and in Ligue 1 before that, it would be sad not to see him have one last moment in the sun.
