Palace have had a good window. Edouard/Guehi/Andersen/Olise/Gallagher..... Far better than when they were signing the likes of Gary Cahill. People were saying it was a 'risk' being more progressive..... It was a risk to keep signing the standard of player they were, and having no saleable assets.

Kane is very similar to Jimenez in his style/frame, but obviously a 'World Class' version. He will suit Nuno fine.....Without Son though, they miss the direct threat a Traore gave Nuno's Wolves. Skipp/Winks/Hojbjerg as a midfield 3 though, if you need to play 3 holding midfielders, clearly you...

But the reality is, the difference in expectation at Wolves and Tottenham means it's not going to be successful at Tottenham. Man City/Liverpool/Man United/Chelsea etc, wouldn't turn up to Palace and play for a draw.

Beyond boring your opponent to death, I always struggle to see Nuno's plan. People were hyping up his result against Man City, but his style of play is suited for games like that. Like at Wolves when he got the win at the Etihad defending deep and using Traore's threat. Today, against a team...

It's comments like that, if true, that will rile the Fabio Silva doubters up even more. Both full of potential, but Botman has been a regular for two domestic top flight seasons now, once in Holland and now once in France.

I'm believing the links and bids for Kamara+Caleta-Car+Botman..... But the unfortunate truth is, at least 2 of those 3, had no interest in joining.

I've read the same articles....That's the point I was making. Caleta-Car/Kamara clearly want, what they perceive, to be a 'better club'. I imagine the fee for Botman, rumoured to be £25 million, was less than they would expect....And were likely waiting to see what happened with Kounde, and...

Would you prefer me to just abuse individual players, or staff employed by the club, instead of just offering a more 'neutral' view?

If the links are true. According to the reports which said Wolves bid for the above, they also state that Kamara+Caleta-Car rejected Wolves, and had no interest in joining. I wonder if they were both worried about the lack of ambition the club showed in the window?

Isn't Pochettino's number 2, a GK coach? Always remember seeing him out barking instructions too. Mike Stowell (Ex Wolves), does the same sometimes at Leicester, and has done for multiple managers. (Pearson/Ranieri/Puel/Rodgers) There's always a hunt for a scapegoat by fans whenever a 'bad...

I'm guessing the criticism about the fee for Silva, is that it restricted the club signing other players, specifically strengthening the first team straight away. Rather than his potential for the future. I can understand that view, there's little depth in midfield and Moutinho is now 34. The...

Everton's problem is wages rather than transfer fees. They've got so many average players, on huge contracts, that nobody else will pay. When you consider they've got the 7th highest wage bill in the league, it becomes obvious so many of their average players, are on huge huge wages. On their...

The Mendes link has been invaluable, but there needs to be more progression outside of that. This summers best incoming in Trincao, was again down to Mendes.

Fair enough. But it seems strange its still an issue now.

I thought FFP gets reset/altered after promotion/relegation? Which is why Villa needed to get promoted when they did, to avoid breaking FFP?

Weren't you actually in Europe the first year we were? How becomes you need to watch FFP, but we don't?

Does seem strange. Given this has been the easiest window since FFP was introduced to do business.

Trincao is an underrated piece of business.

Actually, the way we got the Mahrez money was more impressive tbh. Man City offered about £40 million for him, we told them we wanted £70 million. Mahrez kicked up a fuss, handed in a transfer request, even sat in an airport on deadline day, trying to get a move. Man City finally coughed up the...
