It is good to have you here, Gus.
Thank you.
Of course, we touched on this at the top, you've had a bit of a world tour since we last saw you.
Most recently in France, you had an experience in France.
Undoubtedly didn't end the way you wanted it to end.
I mean, we talk about honesty in football and often we don't necessarily get the full story from people because, of course, there are things going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
You did do one particular press conference where you were very honest because I think, you know, we know you wear your heart on your sleeve, Gus, and you had one player, it was Gaetan Labo, I think.
Gaetan Labo, yeah.
He was one of your players, he'd played for you, he'd scoring for you, and then he was supposed to be playing for you in the Europa... Europa League.
Europa League second leg.
And he'd been sold without you even knowing?
If you could go back, would you change it?
Would you do it differently?
Let's talk about Batshuayi, of course.
He was signed from Marseille, got loaned to Dortmund, where he did very well, went to Valencia, not so great there, but now he's at Palace.
He scored two in five at Palace.
Gus, you've been at Chelsea.
Has he got a future as a Chelsea player, do you think?
So if he gets this period of consistent play within a Crystal Palace, a really great attacking Crystal Palace side, that could be just what he needs.
It would be very interesting to get your thoughts from a manager's perspective on what happened with the goalkeeper there, Arisa Belaga, and towards the end of extra time there was a suggestion that he was injured, he was cramped up a couple of times.
