Transfer Deadline Day

Lukerz

It's gonna be a rollercoaster, that's for sure. The side is top heavy, & last season we looked 10 times better when Snodderz, Noble & Rice were in the middle. As soon as Snodderz was replaced by a more adventurous player, we suffered.

I don't think not signing a DM is a massive issue. We have Rice, Noble, Wilshere, Sanchez & Snodderz to fill in those roles. I am sure Snodgrass will be very good as a LCM option. He played there enough last season.

Pelle has to get the balance right. That midfield is going to have to form together & work like clock-work. I hope it's not too lightweight. But we definitely have the firepower up top.

So, no more Lukaku goals against us now that he’s gone to Inter, unless we get into Europe!

Don't worry, Andy Carroll will bag a few against us

from a BBC contributor

“Has Mike Ashley got Carroll on a zero hours contract”?

grey_til_I_dye

Pelle's happy, anyway.

Nice.

Vorselaarhammer

If we have a run of luck with injuries we have a real chance..

whupathman

So I look at the team and see both Diop and Rice and say good job Board

ASLEFshrugged

Indeed, the board did an excellent job of keeping their mouths shut and their wallets open while allowing the professionals to work without interference.

Nice team vorse and our bench will have some great players to bring on Ajeti Yarmolenko Antonio Chicharito if u need a goal

IronHerb

Kaveh Solhekol on SKY last night said he thought we had done the best business in the window. I know it means nothing but nice to hear all the same.

But the squad has already been submitted, and I'm pretty sure we already have 17 non-HG players registered...

You'll never get your blog to the top of the search list by worrying about facts.

Mail reports that Hernandez has handed in a transfer request but the club want £8m for him. Sevilla interested but only offering £7m.

OldCastleSwift

Can we afford to let him go?

Antonio is out for up to three months, and three of our U23 strikers (Silva, Dju and Adarkwa) are also injured.

Very risky, unless there's an out of contract striker we know of?

Carlton Cole :whistle:

baracks_a_hammer

He is our highest paid player and doesn’t readily fit into pelle’s plans so at even 7m we should cash in. With Herb in charge of the match day threads we will be fine

Yeoldhammer

wither Antonio out and Xande Silva out we would literally have Haller as our only striker...

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Ajeti.

Bless you :biggrin:

Palace chairman Steve Parish speaking to the Daily Mail about Zaha

So there's even a bit of me that wants to see what he can do at a top club, and I certainly wouldn't want to be the person who stopped that.

I feel he deserves to get there. I hope it happens and sometimes it mystifies me he's not up there already.

Errrrrrr, maybe the reason he's not playing for a top club is because you slapped a £100m price tag on him and no one else thinks he's worth it.

baracks_a_hammer

He’s probably valuing him at £100m on the basis that he values Benteke at £30m

Cuz1

He went to a top club and came back

Shelvey says he was close to joining West Ham in the summer, but Newcastle wouldn't allow it.
