Palace are run by absolute wankers
We've done it for a lot of ex-players tbh. JD, Ledley, Mase to name only three
Think Turkey and saudi market open for another week so might be able to move Solomon on.
They were meant to be loaning some lad from B&HA but he fucked off to WHam.
Yeah Portugal is midnight tonight
Eredivisie tomorrow
Belgium next week
Turkey 12th
Saudi 23rd
Maddison instantly injured, takai, udogie, now solanke
Think it's just a spurs thing
All in all, a better window than most of us probably expected early summer. 4 boys that definitely improve the first team.
There are still glaring holes in the squad though, and I get we were probably never gonna be able to fix everything in one go. But Levy and co. can’t rest on their laurels. We need another 2/3 windows like this to even start competing properly again.
See what we need in January, and get 1 or 2. But next summer we’ll need a top striker (Praying for Kane’s return), quality ball-playing centre mid, a top left winger, and possibly a goalkeeper and centre half depending on how Vicario does this year and if Vuskovic is ready.
And that’s just looking at things as they stand right now, there’s lots of variables that could happen between now and then that change things.
We also need to get a lot better at selling players and knowing when to cut our losses. Our squad situation, particularly with regards to the CL is an absolute mess, it’s years of poor squad management coming home to roost.
For example It’s mental that Bryan Gil as it stands, is still on our books after all this time. He should’ve been punted about 3 years ago. We need to be more ruthless at getting rid of shite like him, Solomon, Veliz etc. The same applies moving forward, if the likes of Tel, Dragusin, Odobert don’t show they’re up to it, just fucking do what you can to bin them, even if we have to take a hit on them, there’s no use in them being here and taking up a space that someone of use could be taking.

Still waiting on Bryan Gil, has until 10:59
If he was told anything else in May then he's a fool that allowed himself to be lied to.
I'm definitely happy we've added him, we needed the option and he's a good one to have.
Man City seem to have 'made it clear' that 2 defenders were available to be sold - Akanji and Ake but only sold one.
Suggest you ask Liverpool why they failed to sign Guehi today - its been an open secret he was 'definitely' going there for a good month.
The fact is the selling club can decide at the last moment not to sell, and there is nothing the buying club can do.
