All relative I suppose, in comparison to Vale and Salah I'd say someone coming in who whenever he's been asked to start hasn't looked out of place and is (presumably) on a pretty low wage I'm pretty happy with.
I'd say he's right in his prime, so might not be his best years ahead but they certainly aren't behind him.
You would think so. I like him. Maybe his girlie hair makes me think he's going through a mid-life crisis.
This is the one that's ****ing us. Sinik. I can forgive everything else last window and I get this is with a heavy pinch of hindsight but Sinik's package is hampering us for his non existent output. Even more infuriating is we haven't seen him this year and he's supposedly not even fit
They've only bought one this year rest have been loans or frees so I suspect its now catching up on them now
I know but when he joined Palace from Derby he initially went into their academy setup, not the first team.
I thought the other day when Rosie mentioned it, how is he not fit….turkey finished their season after us, he went to St George’s park for fitness. Ok he had a few days off for his wedding but I don’t suspect he ate all the buffet and wedding cake. So how is he not fit and if all these preseason fixtures are about fitness (like most on here suggest) why hasn’t he played. At this rate if we see him again it’ll be October
I'd hate to speculate because there could be a genuine reason surrounding his mental health after it was reported he was homesick last year. But at this point regardless the club need to sort it out
He didn’t, he only signed for them last summer and he made his first team debut in the season opener against Arsenal, he’s never been in their academy.
Was specifically said that the fee was too high for Darlow, now with what’s come out today god that is a very embarrassing look for Rosie/Tan/Acun.
It wasn't just the fee, it was the overall package. He is getting £25k a week at Leeds and we would rather spend that money at the top end of the pitch as we have a good GK already here.
25k a week so not even the full 30k! Looks even more embarrassing for us. So let's spend it at the top end of the pitch then.. I'll wait with baited breath.
What were we paying him last year? It was widely touted last week that the £5 million fee was a bridge too far,now the focus has switched and it's his wages that are too much?
A year ago we didn't have a player on over £5k a week, now it's 'embarrassing' that we didn't sign a keeper on £25k a week. FFS.
