You guys have had him on loan I see. When was that? Any weaknesses in his game that you saw?

We had him in League one and he was pretty good. He did always have a mistake in him though.

But it appears he's learnt from Schwarzer at Fulham and has become a good keeper.

He was alright but I always remember against Leeds he punched a cross onto his own crossbar while not really under pressure

He has impressed me alot more in a Fulham shirt then he did for us. We was in League 1 when we had him
 
Just reading Ollies post match comments against Leeds:

Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway:
"You have to give Leeds credit. They looked like the Leeds of old in the first 20 minutes by coming at us.

"We came through that period but didn't get the breaks. I thought we deserved at least a point and we did our supporters proud.

"Leeds got on the end of two things inside our box and scored two goals but there was a real scramble at the end and how the referee awarded Leeds a free-kick to relieve the pressure I don't know.

"The crowd got them that free-kick."
Does he always moan about opposition fans, apparently it was because of us Vardy got that penalty.

Ollie hates teams that are well supported.
 
Lionel Messi is 1 goal off equalling the world record for the amount of goals scored in a calender year. Messi currently has 84 goals in 2012

The record is currently held by Gerd Muller

Outstanding by Messi. Is he the best player ever?

Yes.

The crazy thing is he's scored 84 and he's one of the most unselfish strikers there is.

How many assists has he got?
 
Rumour on twitter is that we are going to sign Michael Keane and Jesse Lingard on permanent deals in Jan. I dont understand the Lingard one because he isnt even getting on the bench at the minute. We do need a centre half and Keane is young so he would fit in but where does that leave Liam Moore?

Just a rumour at the minute though. Im not sure where it came from
 
Personally think they would be 2 good signings. We have a very young squad and they seem to have fitted in. Keane looked decent when he played. Lingard adds a bit of depth - 46 games is a long season. Wouldnt be surprised if we dont sign them though. Man U seem to be shipping a lot of their youngsters out at the moment.
 
I'd be very surprised if they'd sell ... Rio Ferdinand was only recently carping on about how big a future Keane had etc on their official site.... but if we pull it off, great.
 
I don't see the point unless Keane and Moore are the long term plan for us, Lingard hasn't really impressed me sofar, seems lost, King plays the attacking mid position alot better at the moment and dont think Lingard is going to help our chances-to-goals ratio either.
