I personally think it will be a loan option as we should have one to use up. Its a matter of the right player becoming available if the team he’s from gets the ones they want in. So who’s buying what in the last few days? Maybe West Ham, Villa and Liverpool could have a no 6 who’s not going to feature for them?

I get the impression that Djenepo starts as Ralph prefers his left back covering. He tried KWP as left back today and probably felt it might of been a gamble in doing so. IMHO when Ralph realised that it’s better to put both Tino and KWP on the same right flank we will be flying again. He just needs to find the correct combo on the left and it might just involve S Armstrong.

I agree with you too, We played well second half vs Manchester United when he put the extra midfielder in. I just think if we had a good ball winner this would give us a better option.

So you would not kiss your Palace badge while doing a knee slide in front of the chapel?

Don’t shoot the messenger but I heard Ronaldo was offered to all teams in the EPL and we turned down the offer. I can only guess it was for financial reasons or perhaps we didn’t need a striker.

I do believe Armstrong wants a move back up north but unless we get an offer for him then it’s not happening. Must remember that Vestergaard and him were the best of buddies and this might of made things even more difficult. If Christie was an option then at least you move on a unhappy player member like Ings and Bertrand.

Shouldn’t have a problem selling him now for 10m and getting a better keeper in, Thats what I would do.

Which is it with us and 9 NILS?!?

I reckon a loan midfielder who’s captain sort. Someone who can teach the youngsters something like Henderson does at Liverpool. However it depends if we can get one or two off our wage bill.

We need a keeper that can save the ball and clear crosses when they go into the 6 yard box. Is that not what all keepers are suppose to do. Just why have we got two that can’t do that?

Good we are getting our identity back. Buy talent, play them and sell on big. This will attract the best talent in the country as they know we will give them a chance plus let them move onto bigger things. Very much the Dortmund style.

Why am I hoping for a heavy defeat so Ralph gets sacked. Thats sooooooo wrong of me, sorry!

What the fuck is that team? OMG why do I bother hoping that my manager picks a decent team plus gets his subs right. KWP right back, Tino right midfield, Tella left midfield and we might just do something as that will at least worry the opposition. 1-4 I’m afraid as Ralph has set out his stall for a small defeat.

I think the biggest problem is he’s surrounded by shit coaches which is making him doubt himself even more. A successful manager always has a great team around him that takes some of the load off his shoulders. Seriously can you see JWP or Kelvin Davis etc stand up and give a proper team talk at half time?

If Torino sold him to us for 22million would that satisfy some of you more? Perhaps he is a bargain and can shore up our leaky defence. Got to give him a chance as some players rise to a new challenge and this could be just that.

Tella might have all the talent in the world but giving him 10 minutes to chase shadows when the team is losing by 2 goals is not the best way to use him. I personally would have him on the first team sheet before Dnejpo and Walcott as he puts the fear in the opposition.

Knowing us we will bring in another right back. Maybe a 22 and a half minute rotation between the 3 we already have.

Other than the gift from Keane we never looked like scoring. Okay Djenpo got to the byline 3 times but he does Jack Schitt with it. Ralph said I need to sort our defence out this season so he drops the best one KWP, puts the same shit keepers in plus sells a CB. Puzzling Ralph!

Rather Frank Lampard personally as he is an attraction for players plus has a go with his substutions.

Nothings changed. Never uses subs as an advantage and it’s plain to see that we needed to freshen it up before they scored the second. I personally would of taken Walcott off after 60 minutes and replaced with Tella. Armstrong on for Armstrong as he run himself into the ground, Walker-Peters for Tino (knackered) and I would of sent Redmond to Tesco’s to get some strawberries.

I’m not sure he would suit Rafa’s style. I thought Everton don’t have a penny to piss with?

Exactly this. Getting another Salisu type is a massive no no as we need someone to hit the ground running.

Yes

Reading loads of reports that we’ve made a take it or leave it offer to Armstrong this morning.

I like this deal. Vestergaard is too slow and Leicester are good for him at 20M. This should leave us to get either Eduardo or Sorloth and possible 2 good loan deals if we keep the wages down. I don’t see why we can’t get Brandon Williams/Delaney and Abraham on loan.
