They've just signed De Ligt and Yoro. They still have Martinez and Maguire. Central defence is the last position they're going to spend on next in my opinion.
It's inevitable that Verstappen will win the championship by <10pts, the exact points that McLaren have allowed Piastri to take off Norris at Hungary and Italy.
Exactly. Total nonsense. They were 2-0 down at Spurs inside 24 minutes and it could have been more. How can that possibly be described as throwing it away? It's surely just a PR exercise.
Dyche said "it's the third game this season we've thrown away".
Today's game they obviously threw away from 2-0 up at 86 minutes, but their other results have been 0-3 and 0-4. I think those scores suggest they might have just been beaten by better teams, there was never anything to throw away.
Southampton are the only team that is doomed. I just don't see anything in their squad that gives them a chance of getting more than about 20 points.
Leicester are better than Southampton but I'd still back them to go down. They appear weaker than when they went down two years ago.

Saka was all over him in the first 15 minutes but I actually thought he showed a lot of strength and intelligence to get to grips with him by around the 20 minute mark. It certainly wasn't a case of things only changing after the red card in the second half. Jack had Saka under control (as much...
If you just look at players as figures on the balance sheet, this particular asset is currently worth £80m but by 2027 (when his current contract expires) he'll be worth £0. If Everton think that paying him an extra £5m a year (on top of his current salary) protects and possibly enhances the...
If the Group D results stay as they are for the next few minutes and we win our group tonight we'll be on the same side of the draw as Italy, Switzerland, Austria and probably Belgium and Turkey. France, Germany, Portugal and Spain all on the other side.
I think today was a turning point. It's the first time in two years I can remember on a regular track in normal conditions the Red Bull was not the best car. They won because of Norris' start and Verstappen making the early move on Russell that bought him breathing space. From that point the...
There's no doubt Red Bull have been caught, but is there time for anyone else to make a fight of the championship? Norris has to be most likely. He's got the car but he's 63 points behind. I think he needs to put a run of 3 or 4 wins together in the next 5 races.
This. Let's ignore the fact it's Palace for a minute. All they've dared to do is put together four or five decent players and a new manager with an attacking philosophy and after no more than 10 games of good form the big clubs have noticed and want to rip it apart. Seems a bit unfair to me and...
Genuine question. Have they got plans to redevelop any other stands at Selhurst? The new one will obviously be a huge upgrade but it's going to look a bit odd if they keep the other three sides as they are surely?
