Tbf they did try to get Frenkie De Jong. Seems they didn't have any viable back-up targets identified though.
-
If that happend Bruce would definitely have a last minute unspecified family emergency or claim some sort of illness to avoid having to rock up at St. James' Park.
-
Yes......shame.....

Impossible to say, but you don't really need a big or good recruitment team to lap up the best players in the domestic top league and snap up the most highly rated youth players from top teams around Europe like Man Utd could back then and consistently did, but not anymore, so it could be that it's always been a poor recruitment setup.

Schar scored our opening goal. Burn was flawless defensively. Forests most talented attacking player didn't get a sniff at goal due to him. Edit: I should clarify, I had Joelinton as my motm. I don't think it's unreasonable (certainly not to the extent that people feel the need to have a go at the journalist on twitter ) to rate our CB's higher though despite that I disagree with it.
-
Ratings is all relevant to what opposition team and other players are scored at though isn't it? Only Schar and Burn got a better score. Provided none of the N.Forest players got above 6.5 that would make Joelinton & Bruno the joint second best players on the pitch according to Hope, which I think is a fair assessment.
-
Am I remembering correctly that they struggled massively with injuries, particularly in defence, when we played them?
-
Is it injuries or just a general fall in performances for Issa Diop who's led to this? Remember him being linked to Man Utd for £45m a few years back.
-
Not bothered. We need RW & striker more. I don't think we play as dominant against Forest as we did if he was playing ahead of Willock who was brilliant in the pressing to regain possession in their half.
-
If "current form" means 1 match then you're probably right. Otherwise I don't think they would tbh. Varane & Lindelöf would be ahead of them too. Too early to tell with their new Argentinian mini-Cannavaro.
-
Too early to tell with Botman, but I don't think either Schar or Burn gets into their team. Bruno & Joelinton walks into their midfield though. Trippier at RB probably starts ahead of Dalot & Bissaka.
-
Don't think he's been assaulted, but people were fairly handsy with him in his latest post match video. People coming over to him, slapping his chest and neck, rubbing his hair, kissing his cheek etc. Once again I'm on team Adam P. If you don't have anything nice to say or contribute with, just let the guy get on with his thing?
-
Scored in his debut for his last 4 clubs.
-
Gan on then.
-
With 5 subs, VAR and more time wasting every season that passes, is it time to introduce clock stop when ball is out of play?
-
He can't have been that shit in Spain considering Rafa wanted him here?
-
Absolutely. Seems like something the coaching team has worked thoroughly on with him since he is so quick but not particularly good at dribbling past his defender.
-
Joelinton doesn't need to be a sex god, he just brute forces an entry, but in a nice likeable way.
-
Most teams would struggle to create chances the way forest is playing. We'll wear them down eventually.
-
I think he'll take part responsibility for not doing better to lift the club if we finish that low, and stay on to fight to make us better. He's just that kind of guy. Nothing about him suggests he's ego is fragile or that he is a quitter.
-
Joachim Andersen best defensive and attacking player for Palace.
-
Nothing on the duration of the contract?
