Hopefully he will come in and hit the ground running. If he plays well then hopefully this assessment swiftly becomes obsolete
He couldn't even manage it after the takeover went through Jesus, i've gone all Chaos posting screenshots....I need to go for a lie down now !
If we pull out of this deal at the last minute that will well and truly screw Palace over. They'll be left with a player who was keen on the move albeit fair play he's not submitted a transfer request to push it through. Jan transfer window will see his likely fee reduced fairly significantly. Would be hilarious if we're lining up something else in the meantime and just drop this all on the mat at 9pm on transfer deadline day!
Was thinking about how we still have a squad just too full of deadwood. Someone mentioned we were allegedly working on two or three other deals but we do need to shift people on. I mean we’ve got 3 right backs and 4 left backs on top of 5 goalkeepers. I’d like to see us get Thiaw and Torres on loan with option, plus then Guehi and a keeper who can actually kick with some accuracy (Marma, ideally) as the only outlay. That allows us to sell Dubs, Vlach, Trippier, Lascelles, Targett, Lewis, Hayden, Fraser, Almiron possibly even Wilson. Gk: Marma, Pope (Gillespie) Rb: Tino, Thiaw Rcb: Guehi, Schar (Krafth) Lcb: Botman, Burn Lb: Kelly, Hall Cdm: Bruno, Miley Rcm: Tonali, Longstaff Lcm: Joelinton, Willock Rw: Torres, Murphy Lw: Gordon, Barnes Cf: Isak, Osula, (Wilson) That’s a CL squad.
After seeing Popes latest rugby masterclass (nobody finds touch as often) it’s so clear we need better.
Yeah Pope needs to make sure his performances stay up to scratch or his mrs may get the ex to change the Netflix password
