I think you secretly know the answer to this. Even if you don't want to admit it.

I wouldn't be benching Hall on the basis of his Southampton performance. He did really well in pre season and deserves more than 70 minutes before he's cast aside. Kelly will get his chance to play and stake a claim against Forest

Tapsoba is clearly the best option out of all the ones rumoured. Disasi would be okay as well, I think people would be far more in favour of him if he were coming straight from Monaco rather than via Chelsea. Especially knowing Mitchell's links there. I reckon a deal for Disasi is probably quicker to get done as well which may be something the club need to think about. Plus there's a chance Chelsea could be open to a loan instead.

Absolutely agree. I get wound up when people don't get jokes sometimes....

Always feels like a shit game against these in the last few seasons. Just a win will do, don't care how, preferably without anymore red cards though. And definitely without any injuries.

Think we might see alot of deadline day outgoings at Chelsea. They'll end up taking whatever they can get at that point.

It's a fairly big deal. Krafth did well against Southampton but that's because all he had to do was defend and clear balls away. We'll miss Schar hugely in the next 3 games. Krafth is a big downgrade.

Fernandez's touch is criminally bad.

Neville calling Mike Dean out on it. Sounds like he wasnt even sure what the law was himself.

Hotels.com would be a far more apt sponsor for them.

And so it begins....

Goes without saying. Although his goal scoring record would be reason enough for him to want to be the top earner here, or joint top atleast. Wouldn't turn my nose up at him by any means. Not judging him on this Chelsea stint, no one has come out of it with much merit.

Sterling anyone? Left out of the Chelsea squad today.

They are using the semi automated offsides this season but apparently they aren't "ready" until September. I imagine they are actually using them right now but are just testing them before they put it on TV for all to see.

I'll be disappointed if Pinnock doesn't go to Halloween parties as Snoop Dogg.

Wouldn't that be hilarious.

Yellow Card for Guehi, take at least a million off. Fair tackle though I think, ref didn't know what to do at the time.

Guehi done a kipper, knock £5M off for that.

That's ridiculous, why the ref has even blown for that in the first place and then why VAR has not told him to check it. That's a nothing foul that didn't need to be given and it's cost Palace a goal.

I suppose this could all be a big ploy by the Palace media team and they are just holding out for as long as possible in the hope someone else comes in for him. Maybe the time it's taking has nothing at all to do with the money offered for Guehi and more to do with Palace stalling for time.

Greedy greedy Eze. Should've played Mitchell in there.

Almost unheard of. Especially considering Guehi did an interview speaking about it also. Feels like Palace think the more it's in the media the easier it is to justify the inflated price.

I do agree with that up to a point. We don't know how he feels about this how situation and that could be a factor in whether he's in the right frame of mind to play or not.

Few hours and we'll have a better idea of how advanced any bids/talks are. If Guehi actually starts you'd imagine we're still a way off with any agreement. Anything else and you'd think the deal has a good chance of getting done this week, especially if he's not even in the squad, that seems unlikely though.
