Obviously the Schär suspension didn't help on Sunday but having two CBs and a GK who looked nervous as fuck everytime they had the ball was horrible to watch. Took Bournemouth about 15 minutes to realise they could just press us and we'd shit ourselves or give it away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully functioning Botman and Schar are definitely less vulnerable to pressing because they’re good on the ball - but even then the lack of pace causes problems. A top young centre half being brought in makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 209 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Definitely still happening. Just waiting for Palace to secure the replacement. Nothing Mitcell or Eales can do to speed that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 17 minutes ago, Shearergol said: I agree with it in principle, but where does it stop? When can we actually start judging the club on the fact we’re still having to play Jacob Murphy on the right wing? I don't think you have to wait ages. It could take very little time to make a fair judgement; if the team performs badly/brilliantly immediately (and for a sustained period) then you can probably conclude quite quickly that the transfer window was a failure/success. However, if we're competitive and experience the usual ebbs and flows, it's going to take time to make a definitive call on whether we did enough. This is broadly on the proviso that we sign a CB but not a RW. If we get neither I wouldn't knock anyone for saying we've under-delivered. But only post-window.

WilliamPS Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Im pretty staggered they think its going to happen give Guehi just played 90mins in the first round of a cup game. To me it looks like Palace are not budging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Surely they can use the 70m to sort out any replacement they need for that injury. On 24/08/2024 at 22:14, andycap said: Edited August 27 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 This seems to go against all of our previous transfer dealings. I'm being optimistic Thiaw for 35m out of the blue on Thursday. Random RW I've never heard of on Friday for 40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 We shouldn't need Guehi for the cup anyway but it's still very annoying that theyve went a cup tied him like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I know he’s meant to be a model pro, but if he really is set on coming here there’s also risk on Palace’s end of blocking his move over what is likely a few million pounds, the shape of add-ons, or payment terms.

Kanji Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Nice reminder we have no friends and no chairmen doing any favors for us and we should promptly feel the same way on the other end (minus Forest).
