Unless he gets 70-100m in the summer it will take another full season to sort it out. Things will get a bit better once he has a full preseason to get that fitness he needs going.

Would have imagined Ming was for the chop.

Dinho would be excellent. Pace and finishing.

Watford will roll over them tonight. They have frightening pace and power matched with a hunger to stay up.

We still need a striker. Mitro needs at least one full season before we see him start to score with any regularity.

If any of Montero, Siggy and Ayew get inj for a couple of months they are in serious trouble. Squad now looks makeshift.

They've got a dodgy run of games coming up and a very severe run in.

They've lost Ben Davies, Vorm, Bony and a bald bloke they saw as surplus to requirements. Nobody in the replacement chain to fill those gaps. They should have a fair bit of cash but haven't really spent. Even Nathan Dyer looked dangerous in the odd game and he's out on loan to Leicester. They haven't been building at all.

tbf you could say that of all bar maybe 3 or 4 clubs in europe. (AmI going OTT about this lad ?) I don't think so. IMO he's a couple of seasons away from being the complete midfielder. He's already very good.

Winj would walk into that midfield.

He's got a winger at right back, a midfielder as a Cd and Lindergaard starting who wouldn't even get in our side.

It's almost like VanG is putting million into the Dutch league.

Two expensively assembled mediocre sides. No shots on target for either in 45min of midfield interchanging tedium.

Palace fans can get nasty if they turn.

Just right for the PL and comes forward at times like a sweeper. Mistakes will decline as he gets used to the league.

Cabaye used to get moody and petulant like his bum chum Debuchy.

They'll finish mid table. Forget about it.

Pair of donkeys. Wham are a decent hard working side with a couple of stand out players.

Totally agree. It's going to be a long nervy season unless we get a 1/3 type striker in.

Worth 30m already I reckon.

The bloke is a total shambles as everyone in here said once he loses Bolasie or Punch for any length of time it will fall apart.

He'll crack soon and start blaming everyone but himself.

You can see he's really green in certain situation and needs time on the ball. There's a player in there but it looks like it will take time. Could really do with another striker right now.
