He’s playing in what looks like a double pivot today and it’s asking him to do more running and defending in transition than he’s good for.
As a sitting DM like Carrick he’s got the tools and temperament

Only if Richy is off.
Wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea announce him in the next 5 minutes tho.
Yeah, if you're following Al Ahli
He's been in a double pivot since he signed for Palace.
I was thinking the same, Richy off.
Fucking hope not.
Waiting on the SC ITK ‘we had to keep it under wraps to protect our source’
spin! 
£20m for Skipp - someone pinch me.
We keep saying how does X get Y for that player and now we’ve done one ourselves

It was pure class. Game is fucked. How that is disallowed is beyond me.
I disagree. Both Kulsevski and Porro have been key players for Ange and we signed them after he joined. I understand with Porro there was an obligation to make the loan permanent but do not know about Kulusevski. Fact is we've spent that much money since Ange became our first team coach. Be proud that our new stadium is funding significant investment in players, which was the plan all along. What is really exciting is that, once this young squad is built, and it may take another window, we will only need to spend on top quality players to improve the starting XI moving forwards. With a conveyor belt of talent like Moore, Donley, Devine, Vuskovic etc. coming through it is prosperous times.
I’m not having Ben labelled as dross, very unfair. Has been a loyal servant and still had good games last season, please don’t lump him in with GLC and Reggie
I would get rid of Richie. If Toney leaves Brentford for Saudi they might take him on loan at least, given Toney replacement has a long term injury.
reasoning
1. we have cover for Solanke in Kulu, Son and Lankshear
2. His mental fragility will not go well on the sub bench
3. frees up a Non-HG/johnny foreigner spot.
4. Ange sees him as surplus to requirements given willing to transfer to Saudi.

With Hughes?
Or did he usually have a more athletic partner in there?
The way Brentford are making him look in transition is exposing him a bit tbh
Full blown hospital strength enema for this summer’s squad clear out!
he hasn’t got that defensive reading of the game that Carrick had. Not yet anyway. Carrick was one of the best at intercepting passes going into that ten position and he could eat up the ground when he needed too. Great two footed passer as well. I’d be surprised if Wharton got to that level. I like him but yeah a bit overrated right now
Almost always Hughes. Double pivot, 3 at the back, wing backs either side.
Whenever Hughes wasn't fit (rare) in they put Lerma in there. But it was rare
Today's Palace set up is practically identical to last seasons. Except they haven't got Olise being a magician. And the perennially average Mateta isn't in a purple patch anymore.
