I feel Bostock has gone for the money and not the chance to improve, just look at the youth system and Palace and the number of young internationals that play for home nations, now compare that with spurs, it was always about the money for Bostock. John just check out what they did for Routledge!

I stopped reading when Jordan apparently said "Bostock is the best player in his position in Europe" lol. He may not even be the best young player in his position in London!

Pete, Tokyo,

not true.. jordan has sold every player that has had any value the last thing he wants is an asset not earninng him money the reason palace are not in prem is because he wont give managers the money to buy he wants all free transfers he runs the club on a shoestring.

david atkins, london,

I agree with Jordan. If we want a decent national side the big clubs have got to stop stockpiling the best of the younger talent. They only give some of them a limited number of games a season, when they should be playing at a high competitive level week after week.

Geoff Smith, VALENCIA, SPAIN

How anyone can claim that palace have no claim on Bostock is ridiculous. The club have supported and nurtured the boy. Jordan obviously wants to keep the best players at his club and why not? The FAs actions will merely set a precedent that will damage the youth acadamies at smaller clubs.

TJ, Leicester,

As 'another' Spurs fan, I too have a certain degree of sympathy for 'The Tango Man'.
Surely, of the many outcomes, few of them are palatable for football fans. Will 'small' clubs ensure their trainees sign 20 year contracts, or contracts with massive sell-on clauses inserted or just not developing?

Sean, Aberystwyth, Wales

I am a Spurs supporter so very mixed feelings on this. I am also a football fan and I do think Palace have been completly ripped off. I think FIFA need to step in because this cant happen again. How can the tribunal award Palace less money than we offered in the first place?

C.Lock, Southend,

I'm a Spurs fan but I agree that stockpiling good young players is a bad thing both for them and for the national team. Spurs now have a billion midfielders - Modric, Hudd, Bostock, Zok, Lennon, Jenas, Steed, O'Hara, Tainio, Taarabt. Nuts.

Tom S, Beijing, China

Maybe the Tango man will learn his lesson, I'm sure Tottenham would have paid more than this but his valuation was far to high, his greed cost him in the end.

Dave Peacock, Stevenage,

i have no sympathy for palace they have no claim on the lad the fact that he joined them as a lad counts for nothing every footballer in the world starts somewhere and 99.9% leave to further their career the fact is bostock wanted to further his career.£1.25 mill is not a bad sum

david atkins, london,

I have every sympathy with Simon jordan and Palace and indeed every non-premier league club,
The FA cannot pretend to serve the interests of the game while also sycophantically latching itself onto the premier league.
Football will die in this country if the FA continue to be in charge.
