Could turn out to be a good player in time.

This is how Allen got his passing statistics.

Jacks after him too but that will probably price them out, man city would be a terrible move.

If Palace don't go up he might do a Victor Moses and move to a lower premiership side before moving to the big time. I understand he and his parents are Palace fans, he might well stay for a few seasons to try and help them to the premier league.
Quality player and surely a main stay in the Welsh midfield, I think Allen will find it very difficult to get back in the side.

When everyone is fit, I'd like to see a Wales midfield three of Allen, Ramsey and Williams.

Allen was a defensive midfielder.
Routledge, Michu, dyer, Hernandez very rarely pass backwards. The defenders and defensive midfielders pass into space to move around the opposition and look for gaps, whether this is back side or forward is irrelevant as the passes aren't intended for penetration they are intended to move the opposition out of their rigid formation - when this happens they spring an attack. Hence why they sit in the top 10 in the prem with a major trophy under their belt and European football to look forward to.
Sorry to be blunt,

Must be. I couldn't name that many scumsea players.
Still think he would not adapt to their team, despite poxmans blog on their players.

Leldey etches out Allen for me. We need an engine, someone who can break up the play. Ramsey has less than impressed me recently for Arsenal but he was great against Scotland. King has been great also, tough choices as we have a fantastic midfield.
