Interviewed by Croydon Advertiser, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, commenting upon French international goalkeeper Steve Mandanda's positive impact on Eagles: "He's definitely the signing of the summer. He allows us to play the way we are playing – he is a football goalkeeper.
Maybe he wasn't ready before, and he was an icon at Marseille, but we picked our moment, and there was a lot of hard work that went into it".
