Very glad our new manager's links with Liverpool aren't showing here

I sincerely hope this is the end of Black

Never rated that expression. All chocolate boxes have a detailed description of what you're going to get. And a picture. And ingredients. Suspect they looked at all this if we're getting Pellegrino Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did it get a post-Puel reboot? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Strangely written piece. Almost a plea to him to choose us Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know, oh for the days of Shilton, Gennoe, Katalinic, even Wells! Proper.

and an immobile, invisible keeper at the other end letting them in. We shouldn't undersell Forster's strategy in getting rid of Puel...

Unless there were huge mega bucks on the table, which I doubt but who knows what the new owners might be able to offer, even through debt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd prefer Pellegrino to Vieira but at least we have a bit of quality being talked of now.

Thanks. Good piece. Hope we don't lose him to Palace. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

12m for a striker whose confidence is shot, control is gone, and all round play not even a quarter of what it was pre injury. Amazing money Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

12m is amazing money for him. Doubt v much if we will get that Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It was based on a news report saying palace had the same shortlist of two but were more advanced in the talks. Do the maths. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The unravelling scenario makes me wonder if Les et al are wildly overblowing our attractiveness as a club, especially along the issues outlined by Martin Samuel. Still, have to wait and see. But the mood music doesn't sound good so far. Can't say I am at all excited about a de Boer season ahead.

We may be getting Palace's second choice... Southampton and Crystal Palace are close to appointing new managers - with Mauricio Pellegrino and Frank de Boer on both clubs' final shortlists. Sky Sports News HQ understands that Palace's search may be the more advanced, with Pellegrino and De Boer the hot favourites to replace Sam Allardyce at Selhurst Park. Pellegrino has caught the eye of clubs across Europe after he led Alaves to a ninth-place finish in La Liga and an appearance in the Copa del Rey final.

Samuels is not wrong, but we were also right to sack Puel. Assuming his replacement will be better, of course.

wrongly

Anyone else think the away one is ghastly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree. The kind of player who needs consistent game time.

FDB favourite with us AND Palace http://www.football.london/crystal-palace-fc/news/frank-de-boer-palace-southampton-13193812

Good luck with the team talks, and don't sell VVD

Seconded. Total arrse Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
