Are you stupid?
None of the players you list came through the FABLED Chrystal Palace Academy, thus are not subject to the automatic ten-fold increase in value which such entails.
As such, your valuations are well wide of the mark.

You obviously know nothing about our side then! Williams, Jedinak, Gardner, Speroni are all top class players at this level.

So why are you so low in the table? Poor Management?
Speroni is a very good keeper, and Williams has huge potential (much more so than Zaha, for me). the other two are no more than average Championship players. You're struggling if you're holding those to up as examples of the quality in your squad.

Amazing isn't it? Acording to the Nigels they have by FAR the better manager, and by FAR the berrer squad but don't try and question why they aren't above us in the table, as they'll make up some twaddle about being a work in progress even though they already have the better team (according to them).

Combination of things in my view.
1. We lack a natural goal scorer. We have drawn so many games 0-0 or 1-1 this season. If we'd had a consistent goal scorer a lot of those draws would have been turned to wins, our defence is very solid. Jermaine Easter and Chris Martin are not the answer. The club know this though and Parish has said in the last few days that a striker in the summer is our main priorty.
2. The cup run affected our league form without a doubt. If we had gone out in the first round i'm convinced we would be in the top 10 now.
3. We lost Jedinak, Gardner, Wright and Williams for the season all at the same time about 6 weeks ago. 3 of said players are easily in our top 6 best players. I know all teams get injuries but to lose these players all at the same time was cruel and has resulted in some awful results and performances at the end of the season. This tells me that with our best 11 out we are a match for anyone but our squad is not strong enough in depth at the moment.

Bollocks, you have Murray- our top goalscorere last Season. He's a confidence player but once in for would easily score goals in this Division. The fault of your management for next getting the best out of him. Poor management.
You weren't complaining about that at the time, we weren't without our cup runs also.
Our best player Vicente has been out for half the Season, along with a number of other minor injuries, Buckley was out for a while, Kazenga has a stop start to eh season due to injury. If we had Vicente for the whole season I have no doubt we would be in the playoffs. The players you mention other than Williams are in no way as influential as the likes of Vicente and Buckley.
1. Every team in the league can say that. From the six Palace games I saw this season, your problem has been that you create so few chances, rather than not taking them.
2. Yes, I can see how playing ONE more cup tie than us explains finishing 8 places lower in the league.
3. Can't argue with that, except that your opinion of Jedinak and Gardner is much higher than mine.
If they were, you wouldn't be a bottom half side, which you are.

how very trueBut I swear Buckley has more than just one assist.
official stats only give him one
Off the top of my head, he should be credited at the very least with the pass for CMS at home to Ipswich, and also the cross-shot which went in v Newcastle.

I think we create a lack of chances as Freedman is not yet confident with the team attacking wise so focuses on a more defensive and containing game. If we can add 1 top striker and an attacking midfielder to replace the horrendous Easter, Martin and KG, then i think the chances and goals will come.
Jedinak is an absoloute beast, trust me. I wouldn't swap him for any other defensive midfielder in the league. He wins a massive amount of 50/50 tackles and headers, it's just his passing that can let him down but that is improving. Gardner is also a top player for us and will more than likely win our POTY this year.
And in regards to the point about Murray(post above your's) , i totally agree, bad managment. He is a class player in my view and capable of over 15 goals a season if the team play's to his strenghts.

I wish people would stop putting monetary values on Zaha as if he was simply just another footballer, because he's not. He's the voice of a generation.

Oh stop it
We are 7 points off 10th, hardly a crazy statement.

But Zaha is the best attacking midfielder in the world? Surely you dont need another?
