Isn't Giroud going the other way in the Aubemeyang deal?

Makes no sense when Batshuayi is better than Carroll!?

Well I think if this is the case, then we'll get relegated. Only one who is good enough right now for the Prem is Hoedt...Stephens, Yoshida, Bednarek & Gardos are all 3/4 choice which is why is was so weird when we signed Bednarek in the summer. He should have been competing with Stephens as 4th/5th choice CB. Apart from Hoedt, I'm not sure any would be good enough yet for the championship next season either.

Definitely need a replacement at CB, we can't deal with any kind of physicality and we are too weak in the air. A dominant CB would give me more confidence of staying up.

I'd be ecstatic if we were to bring him in, he's class - can't see it happening though... Do we not have any ITK's anymore

Would expect the fans to vote for someone like Stuart Taylor if we get relegated. Hojbjerg deserves it right now, and he's played what, 8 games?

Would go... McCarthy ; Cedric Yoshida Hoedt Bertrand; Hojbjerg Romeu Lemina ; JWP Long Tadic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

To be fair you can’t blame him. He wanted to keep the team together and add and build something amazing, he wasn’t allowed to and had a fantastic opportunity at an underachieving club. I don’t like him for it but you can certainly see it from his perspective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Think you’re completely underestimating the Championship. It’s completely different to the last time we were in it, and we had a very good side that year. We’d be lucky to finish top half with that XI. Stephens and Yoshida would get battered in the air every week even worse than currently. And Davis is largely finished.

Looking forward to a good day out though! Football just gets in the way of it a bit.

Carillo seems to have a similar scoring record to the rest of our strikers... Years Team Apps (Gls) 2011–2015Estudiantes 119 (28 2015– Monaco 63 (15

Was surprised we kept both him and Targett in the summer, thought one of them would go on loan - don't mind which.

Yep - I had £20 on at 16/1. It's been obvious since the start of the season.

Top class CB, if he carries on improving he'll go to a big club within 2 years. Probably not quite as good as Toby, but probably has the potential to surpass him. Shame he is such a *****...!

You know Gardos is like 30 right?

Always been a big fan of Davis, but he was terrible last night. Think we now have 4 other CM's ahead of him... Romeu, Lemina, Hojbjerg & Prowsey.

Palace stadium looks fantastic!

I think he's a very good player, but hasn't fully settled yet. Certainly doesn't seem to suffer from confidence, but the over confidence today cost us. 3/4 times he tried to cut back onto his right foot, and finally got caught in possession for their goal. Possibly driven by the manager, but if hes being closed down, just get it out into midfield or punt it down the line - don't go onto your weak foot and look to play it to Virg.

Think I'd go.... Forster Cedric VVD Yoshida Bertrand Davis Romeu Lemina Redmond Austin Boufal

Could potentially go something like... Forster Pied VVD Hoedt Bertrand Lemina Romeu Hojbjerg Tadic Austin Boufal

Didn't even realise Pied was fit. Better than nothing for sure, he has looked ok in the very few games hes played in... Forster Pied VVD Hoedt Bertrand Lemina Romeu JWP Tadic Boufal Austin Would be very harsh on Hojbjerg but don't think we can go with 3DM's against Bompey, and not sure you can leave Romeu or Lemina out. Also excludes Davis.
