Palace Fans

“The right move for all parties. If he goes and tears it up in the Championship, he comes back here next season either in the fold for us, or OG still isn’t convinced and his fee will have gone up to close to £20million and we sell him. “

“he’s got huge potential, but he needs to play and he won’t start for us (nor get many mins off the bench)this season, so it’s for everyone’s benefit he goes and gets minute preferably championship and see how he does. “

“Sheffield United have developed Arblaster, McAtee, Gibbs-White and more in the last few years alone it’s a good move for him icl”

“Good move for him that. They will challenge in that league this season. They have made some very good signings both permanently and on loan. “

“Fancy a little punt on Sheffield United this season..Been decent transfer window for them.”

“Out of all clubs… Sheffield United”

“Please don’t let him play under Chris Wilder”

“dont like this at all. Has long-term injury written all over it”

“QPR would’ve been the perfect move, blame ‘Hendo’ for his influence”

“Still don’t think he’s good enough..but we will see ,v.good Championship player.. “

“I just don’t see he has Proper PL potential..He’s decent but I see him upper Championship class not saying he won’t grow into a player”

“The thing is at this moment in time, he’s not even good enough to lace Ayews boots”

“Jes looks brilliant in one on one positions against lower league opposition, but I can’t truly remember him doing it against a PL side yet in his limited appearances.”

“I’m on the fence with Jes, he was really poor in the International cup final last season and that was a big chance to show what he could do; on the other hand he really tore it up at Charlton”

“Whenever I see Jes play I always think that he’s a talent, good with his feet, has pace but way too lightweight that gets pushed off the ball too easily. “

“Very sad to see him go. He is in line for game time if he stays this year as well. Would be unusual for both starting wingers to play 90 mins in a 5 sub league, and injuries will occur. “

“I find it staggering we let JRS go. He looks electric.”

“One thing not in question…the boy can finish.”

“Cole Palmer and Jes are two of the most naturally gifted academy wingers I have seen in recent years—both were capable of producing chances from nothing (Cole of course had the benefit of playing alongside Mcatee, Delap, Lavia, Edozie, etc.). Cole Palmer’s talent was apparent to anyone who watched him, but City were not patient enough with integrating him into the first team and sold him to a rival club for a nice fee. Lo and behold, Palmer is probably worth twice what he was sold for now after finally getting a consistent run of games. I’m not saying Jes will reach that level, but any winger who dominates at the academy level (not to meantion League 1) in the manner that Jes did is worth giving a meaningful chance before cashing in imo. “

“Theres a very good reason that over half the championship clubs are vying for Rak-Sakyi’s signature. There’s a very good reason Southampton want to sign him permanently.”

Charlton Fans

” in the first half of the season with us he blew hot and cold, but had a strong second half of the season so that’s what everyone remembers. There was a spell where he couldn’t buy a goal and missed some glorious chances. But that’s the thing, young players develop, and coming into a new side they have to build relationships and teamwork.”

“In the first half of the season there were people criticising him for lack of end product even while he was 2nd top goalscoring winger in the league.
Blowing hot and cold is just what wingers do. I’ve long felt that a section of our support doesn’t get along with the tricky winger. They’d prefer the hardworking JJ / Johnny Robinson type. “

“To think some said he had no end product and would be happy to see him recalled in January.
I felt he was one of those players where it was obvious the quality was there very quickly. “

“My mate knows Rak-Saki personally and his biggest attribute is his ability to learn quickly. Back in winter of 2020 Rak-Saki was going nowhere at Nigels and was on course to be released as wasn’t good enough. However, he grafted and improved rapidly.
TBF, around Christmas time I had plenty of messages between us saying he was bang average and had not shown enough to kick on and be a top championship player.Once again he has proved people wrong and improved hugely in a short period of time. Can’t fault him at all.”

“there was a short spell when he seemed to lose his way and he still has a lot to learn although players like him can learn very quickly. He found it again pretty quickly”

“even the unwise must now realise where would have been without 15 goals and 8 assists last season. “

“15 goals and 8 assists while with us.
Many of those goals were vital in winning game/points, rather than adding gloss onto an already established scoreline. He also created several of his goals too. “

“He absolutely smashed it for us and we had a bang average middle of L1 squad.”

“Aside from performances, it’s the fact that he’s alwaysavailable for selection. It was very clear early on that he wasn’t one that needed to be molly-coddled and taken off after 60 mins each game. The lad has featured in almost every game and played long periods in most of them. He might have needed a rest at some point but played through it and managers/players should take note of that. Sometimes you need to need to actually play a player for his form to evolve and his game to develop. “

“He was impressive to start the season but he’s come along massively since then. Regardless of who he plays for I hope he goes on to have the career he’s capable of. A phenomenal player and a great professional for someone of his age. “

“far exceeded my expectations”

“He worked very hard, even when things weren’t going his way and teams were doubling and tripling up on him”

“the main reason that we never flirted with relegation.”

“He stuck out like a sore thumb, he could glide past the oppo with ease .
Class player .”

“having him on the pitch always gave the feeling we could get back into a game. “

“He is a class act and I’m sure will go on to have a fantastic career. He also seems like a really nice lad.”

“JRS is the most shining talent to grace our shirt for years. When he was on the pitch there was always a chance of a goal, and the chance of seeing something that gets fans out of their seats and provides lasting memories. I can still picture his final goal against Port Vale- he sent two Vale defenders half way into the East Stand with an exquisite dummy before firing through the gap they’d vacated. “

“Really wish this guy the best. He’s given his all for us this season and there can’t be many footballers out there with his ability. Just needs to get a bit more physically strong and improve his positional play more then he’ll be ready for the big show.”

“JRS would need to improve his tracking back and his finishing when the ball is crossed and he finds himself in the six yard box. His heading is the same quality as that other magic feet player from a while back, Tony Watt, Watt Watt; non existent.”

“He had his quiet games as well but flair players normally do when they are given licence to thrill and will lose the ball;sublime when it comes off and the difference between Charlton possibly finishing 10th instead of 17th.”

“there was a spell in his loan where he went a bit flat. He got it back and some of course. In the Championship, that might be where you drop out of the team. “

“I think he’s still a little lightweight to up his game in the championship. You would have seen him easily brushed aside when up against better and tougher defenders”

“think Raki has still a lot of growing (in strength – easily shoved off the ball) and lacks concentration at times before he can make the top grade.”
