Prior to that it's all been a bit dull, although I agree the general structure they had in place was very solid. Vieira came in last summer under tough circumstances and brought in Guehi, Andersen, Olise and Gallagher who added a lot more quality to the more workman like types they already had in place. He also changed the way they approached games really quickly. Vieira deserves a lot of credit for their style of play and approach last season. They were impressive. But I think the signings are more due to the structure the owners have put in. They had tried to move away from a traditional way of running things after Sam Allardyce but then De Boer ended up being a disaster. My understanding is that they appointed Hodgson as a manager but were changing the structure in the background focusing on talented youngsters in the championship and other clubs. Again not trying to put down Vieira's impact which was huge. But I highly doubt as the manager of NYCFC and Nice he was tracking players like Olise and Geuhi in the championship.

That's interesting if so. I have heard a lot of good things about their current director of football that used to play for them Dougie Freedman, so I guess that might all tie in together.

JonBez comesock Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It’s going to be an exciting season , lots of teams making some very good signings Harder to break into that top 6/7 Think we need 2 very good / very strong 1st team players (dark purples) in order to get into Europe /7th if not , I can see a 9th /10th finish (as is stands) .. still 50+ days for all teams to strengthen I predict 2 in + … plus one last minute transfer / deadline day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Zaha and Eze are completely different players. Eze’s a driving type midfielder and Zaha is a winger who’s a striker in todays game. Don’t think Eze will stick around like Zaha. One good injury season and he’ll be off. Think CMs like that are hard to come by so its best to get them when they’re available at the best price.

Eze is an attacking midfielder that has mostly played from the number 10 position and the left side. He has also sometimes played as an attacking central midfielder in a midfield three. He is an exceptional dribbler with great technique, who plays with his head up and has great vision. In the clip below for his first season at Palace, you'll see most of his work came from that left side. He could easily replace Zaha there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic forward with all the tools you want to be a complete modern striker. Wouldn't have minded us getting him this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
