Bullet dodged? Not that we were ever in for him of course...

[Albion] Odsonne Édouard
- Thread starter macbeth
- Start date
Thought he did well tbh. His movement and size caused some trouble. Still firmly in the "we dont need this guy" camp but thought he was good yesterday and they got worse and lost a lot of movement up front when Benteke came on.
So Swanney, what you’re saying is he’s better than Benteke?
That’s not the greatest endorsement.

I firmly advocated spending good money on a new striker (either Nunez or Eduoard, someone likely to come straight in) to replace Maupay. I told many people Maupay wasn't going to recover from the season he just had. I got that very wrong.
I still think we're possibly light on striker numbers, but as long as Neal remains fit, I think he'll be a threat

TBH, it wasn't a case of 'NSC at it's finest' - more a case of speculative journalism at it's finest, especially in Scotland. Never ending reports of his 'imminent move to Brighton' never let up, and were duly commented on - with enthusiasm by some, and poo-poo-ed by others. Can't see much t criticise NSC about here.

Agree - I still think he has/had the potential to be a better foil for Maupay than Welbeck (who was poor yesterday), but we’ll never know. I also don’t really get the angst over this thread either. Whether or not we were interested, it was widely reported in the press that we were, and it would have been a major signing. Are we so high brow on NSC that we don’t comment on players we’re linked to? When is it acceptable to begin, only when the superfans deem it an acceptable rumour? Or when they’re pictured holding up the shirt?

He won’t get the time and space he got in Scotland down here. You might get it against a tired, ten man Spurs, but you won’t in 90% of matches. Bullet dodged.
I listened to the match on 5 Live last night.
Chris Sutton was the co-commentator and he wasn't impressed by Edouard's contribution one bit. He reckoned that his movement, vision, decision-making and match-craft are all lacking for this level

Let's just stop there and reflect .........

Yeah, but Swanny says he’s good so you should probably ignore Sutton.

I guess we didn’t dodge a bullet after all good signing for the caravan dwellers.

‘Swanny’ may be a self-absorbed narcissist with an undiagnosed borderline personality disorder, but at least he’s not dull like Sutton.
A little later...

Ha! Good spot. It's almost as if highly paid pundits offer no greater insight or context into the game than the average supporter....

Palace have some good players. Some just lacking form. Our combined XI wouldn't be 10 Albion and Zaha as some have intimated in the past. Benteke, Edouard, Olise, Eze, Gallagher.
Still they do also have some bang average players and one win from 8.
According to some of the reactions after the Arsenal game Patrick Viera - manager of the season (if Bielsa wasn't a shoe in for that award).

All the palace fans I associate with rate pat and can see his potential . He has started well and the team seem to like him, respect him and more importantly follow his methods. I’m liking what I see , but a few more wins wouldn’t hurt. We have a nice run of games coming up so hopefully this will be addressed.
But getting back to pat, yes he’s started well, but it’s very early days. No one is saying he’s manager of the season , we leave that type of talk to you when you’re talking about potter

Agree he looks like he knows that he is doing.
Good for you perhaps that you didnt win against Brighton and Arsenal because that would quite possibly have made him the no 1 candidate when Arsenal finally decides to stop pretending being a long-term project and sack the hilariously incompetent Arteta.

I do find it funny how Palace fans used to mock us because we were excited about improved performances and a better of style of play under Potter, simply because we weren't getting the results our performances deserved.
1 win in 9 games Paddy is great though, obviously
