Warnock says Carle has a big part to play for Palace even although South Korean side FC Seoul made an approach to sign the Australian midfielder on loan.

The K-League side are said to have offered more than $500,000 as a fee for the season-long loan but it wasn't enough to persuade Palace to part with the classy midfielder for the coming year.

Warnock admitted: "A club have come in for Nick but we don't want to let him go. He is part of our plans here."
