Tucked away almost unnoticed last week was the possible end of an era, as Dougie Freedman signed on loan with Leeds United until the end of the season. Earlier in the week Freedman was against the move, saying he wanted to finish his career with Palace.

It seems a slightly odd move for someone who certainly wasn’t out of the first-team picture (Dougie came on as a substitute for the last half-hour against Cardiff City last Tuesday). Hopefully it is just a temporary move and Dougie can come back and finish his career here as he apparently wishes to do.
