At some point you have to make a final offer that you’re prepared to walk away from, otherwise they’ll just keep demanding more and you end up looking like Chelsea.

On the mark. We need to be ruthless in transfer business, which includes walking away once your counterparty isn't negotiating in good faith.

 

We have the luxury of shopping anywhere else for talented CBs and Palace have no leverage - we know Guehi is gone in 2 years. No reason to cave to Dougie's demands.

One thing missing from the "we were poor on defense not offense" narrative is that we had trouble scoring against the top of the table. Take away the two blow out wins vs. Chelsea and Spurs and it looks even worse.

 

 

Did we?

 

2 v Man City

2 v Arsenal

3 v Liverpool

8 v Villa

 

That’s probably better than the majority of the league.

Don’t recall our defence being shocking. Do you not think the drop was us A losing Pope and B the reduction in our pressing game from our forwards and midfielders due to our injury situation and limited options to rotate?

A - yes, b - no, teams are gonna attack you at some point during a game no master how well or how good you press.  Tripps was awful last part of the season as was burn whenever he played left back, shocking is a strong word to be fair though.

Looking back at results, excepting Man City away scored against the top 5 in all the PL games, which is incredible really

 

The issue was conceding so easily.

 

As the special one once said, to win stuff you have to defend.

His aerial stats are very similar to Schar. Him and Botman should compliment each other well.

Him and Schar should in fairness, he’s playing with a Schar clone in Andersen week in, week out.

Why did no one on the forum mention that he was weak in the air before now? Would have saved a lot of excitement

It wouldn’t matter - people on here don’t zoom in on negatives 😉

BBC still reporting Anderson to Fulham. I can't see Palace selling both CBs. Honestly wouldn't mind us going in for Anderson. 

Nah he's 28 now, prefer someone younger.
