Such a dire situation for any manager to come into. I know a few Palace fans who have listed at least 10 names between them of managers who were being interviewed over the last 6 weeks. Half a squad and historically a low spend on incoming players even for a new manager. I can see Zaha needing...

My only comment...Mr Hughes looks really good for 51

They have plenty of games early on that their fans would expect to win. Saints (H), Leeds (A), Albion (A) Burnley (H), Villa (A), Norwich (H) Man U (A) West Ham (H) Watford (H), Wolves (A) are their first 10 games which could see a fair bit of pressure if the start loosing

However most summers we have been light in terms of number of strikers in the squad. Last summer we had Andone (out injured for most of the season), Locadia (out on season long loan), Tau (season long loan), Murray (During pre-season makes loan to Watford) Connolly & Maupay. It would appear we...

Fat fingers and a dodgy keyboard

Murray was £4m but he was 33 and heading to a Championship side. We have made several fantastic signings during our time in the premier league but the issue is if we stick with what we have got (Wellbeck, Maupay, Andone, Connolly, Tau, Zeqiri) or spend to bring in another player. I don't think...

I hope he has a blinder. he arrived with a huge level of excitement and potential and we haven't seen him deliver so far

I disagree, the header could easily have been missed. It wasn't at a comfortable height and Kane has to adjust himself into a very awkward position which could've seen the ball go anywhere. Maguire had an easier header which he put wide

I also found this nice video from a few summers ago https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/africa/45113356

Of those 3 or 4 potentials, Gonzalez has gone to Fiorentina & Daka has signed for Leicester. These may or may not have been in that group of potential signings but I think they are the calibre of player we will look for, anything less is just another £15m gamble and we don't need more of those

This is a great point, We have been very solid defensively and have plenty of creative attacking players that would be great for any side. Rashford & Sancho are hugely gifted players who have hardly played. Southgate has a system and a game plan that seems to be working and in tournament...

Alternatively...Saka has run himself into the ground and Southgate decides to change the line up by bringing on JG. Sterling subsequently moves alongside Kane allowing space for Shaw to run into. Shaw makes a great run into space and is found by a team mate before delivering the perfect pass to...

Paston Daka has scored for fun this season and was the striker i really wanted us to sign. Unfortunately he has signed for Leicester, I think he will be an ideal replacement for Vardy https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57662332

Sanchez coming into the side saw a dramatic change in results for the second half of the season. Along with the 3 CB's growing into the formation meaning Dunk & White had a much better 2021. We also saw more game time for Gross & Welbeck and an improved understanding from all involved regarding...

Can he play LWB?

We must also consider that Bruno Fernandes & Ilkay Gundogan are midfielders who score goals in heavily attacking sides whilst rotating strikers regularly. However the list of forwards signed for £20m+ who haven't scored more than 10 goals is huge and we could easily add to that list if we just...

That would be completely against the ethos of the academy and the direction the club intend to move and develop. Players need an obvious path through the academy and into the first team with top players being sold to make way for the next wave. A plan to sell a 22-25 year old player for £50m+...

What a bizarre summer, obviously it could just be media talk but plenty of candidates seem to have turned down the Spurs job and a few have walked away from contention for the Palace post. I always thought there was a queue of managers desperate to get a premier league job

My kids are probably 8/9 years away from any sort of situation and it may be that they can break into the academy of a league 1 club like Palace easier than a premier league side such as Brighton

get you boasting...a lot of friends
