I agree, look at that Veltman fella we got for £900k. What an absolute crock of shit he turned out to be eh? Where is he now anyways?
Or what Cucurella? Or Mac Argie? Or that Esupinian fella. All a shower of shite because they came cheap.
Come on, we know how good Palarse are after paying over the top for has-been PL players, we should adopt that model.
I'm not saying he won't be good, far from it. I'm saying he's currently off form.
Dahoud was apparently ‘off form’ when we signed him. He’s only played the equivalent of two 90mins games this year. He didn’t look ‘off form’ against Chelsea though and I anticipate he won’t against Luton in a few weeks. RDZ can have a transformational effect on players.

Hopefully he doesn't drive along the Kings Road on the way!Just spotted at Heathrow...
Personally I thought Dahoud looked a long way off the pace fitness wise - and that was only having to pace himself to last 45 minutes.
No doubting his quality, though.

I thought he was very good for 45 minutes but clear that he wasn’t Premier League fit. He has got time to get up to speed though and even then I think he’s a player who may play 65/70 minutes before being replaced.
He’s gone quite some time since playing regularly.

If he see that he will defiantly know he's at Selhurst Park.

Perhaps, but it is pre-season, different teammates at a different level in a 90 mile an hour league, where players are proper athletes. (Edit - not knocking German football, it’s just a different style).
Quality though as you say…..

I know this guy is primarily a centre back, but from watching various highlight videos he seems to find himself further up the pitch a lot. More like a defensive mid who makes passes and runs from there. I wonder if we might be seeing this guy as a bit of utility defensive and midfield player. Might be wrong as i've not seen a full 90, but I wouldn't class his style as your traditional centre back type. More mobile than that and looks comfortable dribbling with the ball.

Tracking the chauffeured Mercedes V-Class in real time, have we been gazumped?
Are you doubting my hit rate on Albion related airport spots?

You were the Vicente guy or something like that, something about a contract if my memory serves me right?Are you doubting my hit rate on Albion related airport spots?
I'm reliably informed by [checks notes...] some guy on another thread that Germans spend all their time eating sausages and wearing lederhosen.
He'll need a while get that out of his system.

I have been researching this and have made extensive inquiries. What I have learned, and it was hard graft, I can tell you is.......is.....
Roberto is a football necromancer. He can find elements of football talent that are dead inside a player, and he can raise that dead, raise it proper.
It may contravene the laws* of human nature, but it is a fact. Fact.
*One of my favourite quotes from my dad, when we all pissed him off one time, and then accused him of upsetting himself, and he declared that would be against the laws of human nature. Now I understand a bit more about autism, I know what he meant. Cracking turn of phrase, though.
I shall now use it repeatedly.Snapped Cucurella as he came through Heathrow.
Doesn't seem all that exciting now, does it?
