he will be left in the dust with the depth at attacking. Lukaku, Mertens are class and Origi and Michy aren't far off from Ben. i think he just becomes unmotivated too easily and when you're playing for a team like Palace that can't build up to a goal affectively or even send in nicely placed cross for him to head home he doesn't stand a chance. I think his best performances come when he has creative players alongside him, Zaha and Townsend aren't bad guys to have moving forward with you but even then Palace aren't exactly gifted with depth in the midfield or defense.
his stock is definitely dropping though, it would be sad to see him playing in the Championship imo.
