[Football] Zaha out

[Weststander]

Everything rests on Benteke now. It would be awful if he got injured.

Palace only named 24 players in their squad so I believe the rules allow for them to sign a free agent and add him to their squad.

Kemy Agustien might be available. (Please please please please please please please please let it happen)

 

[Bozza]

They can indeed.

However, if they have left out any existing over 21 players, even any injured for the season, then they cannot.


For example, even if we had only named 24 ( let's say Hemed or Skalak had gone on loan ) then we couldn't do this as Sidwell is registered with the albion and would have to take place 25 in the squad in preference to a free agent.

If you have an over-21 player he HAS to be named in your squad if you don't have enough other players.

So if Palace did only name 24 it means they do not have any more players that could have filled that spot.

Have you seen him playing? If I were a Palace fan I'd be willing an injury on Benteke.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Never mind - they've a decent academy side playing in the top division of Premier League 2.


Oh.

My only schadenfreude destroying concern would be that he re-finds the form that got him 14 PL goals for them last season.

Agree totally that he's been pants all this season .... to date.

 

[Mayonaise]

Benteke will be relieved - fewer penalties for him to miss.

 

[Easy 10]

Oh.

Hang on...I thought that their academy was a WORLD CLASS production line, endlessly producing mercurial talents such as the fabled Jonny Williams (who's been ripping it up in a series of loan spells at Ipswich, MK Dongs, Forest and now Sunderland). I struggle to take this "injury crisis" of theirs seriously when they can simply pluck class like that from the famous La Masia of Croydon.

Ahem. "Joniesta". Please.

Roy barely changes his starting 11 and played them into the ground over the winter. It's not surprising they are picking up injuries.

It also wouldn't be surprising if we start to get muscle injuries with our ever-presents. It's would be a silly decision not to bring in a CM if this does happen.

Wonder if us having an exact replica of the amex pitch to train on helps

Probably, plus Bloom invested in state of the art medical and sport science facilities. Palace have got a garden shed and the academy trains at a public football centre. You reap what you sow.

We've lost twice in 15 games, both times to Arsenal. I don't think we've had a bounce, I think that Roy has turned us into a solid midtable team.

Hopefully Wilf isn't out for more than a month, we've got an international break after the Everton game this weekend which would mean that he'd only miss two or three games in total. We've been incredibly unluckly with serious injuries this season

As long as he's back for the last 6/7 games (which are all against teams that we'd hope to beat) then we should still be absolutely fine.

Sorry pal but how are you a solid mid table team when your below us lol

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Oh look, the cheerleader’s turned up !
I’m sure Wilf will be fit for your visit .

Ah yes, about cheerleaders ...

I said that Roy had turned us into a solid midtable team. As in, if we played a full season with Roy as our manager, we'd finish solidly in midtable.

Unfortunately due to some terrible decision making by our board, our season started a bit later than everyone elses!

As for being below you, enjoy that while it lasts

Have to say I agree. But at the same time you SHOULD be above us as have a 4 or 5 season headstart. As for the cheerleaders - I think it suits your franchise well - always behind the times.

Stoke fans GUTTED about his injury

http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/276750/another-injury-blow-palace

Seems Stoke don’t like Palace either - bit like Sunderland and Man Utd - lots of enemy’s made by then2010 franchise:

‘Really gutted for the lad...AM I ****ING ECKERS LIKE....**** CLUB...ROTTEN TO THE CORE...’

I’m very confused but I understand the huge cup win still hurts so will let your oddness slide.

Leon Best is also surprisingly unaffiliated.

A very good call there.

Hard to think of a player better suited to that club.
