Course I do. But top players that are made available will be touted around all window. We’re not Barca where players get a once in a lifetime chance to move. We’re in a big pot with about a dozen other sides. What’s an agent going to do, suggest the player accepts the first offer or will he be on the blower to Fat Sam, West Ham, Leicester “ Player X is available , Saints have offered him 60k a week and the selling club have accepted £20 mil, are you interested ?” If you’re talking about players like Sturridge and Walcott, unless the player insists on moving to us (as Rooney did with Everton) it’s gonna drag out. It suits all parties if there’s a bidding war, except of course the buying club. If a player signs early in the window it means he desperately wants to come, or it’s a big step up for him and he doesn’t want to miss out. The other reason could be the selling club are desperate for money, but the pool we’re now buying from, that’s becoming less and less likely. Most players won’t give a Shiite which mid table club they sign for, so it makes sense not to sign too early. Even players and agents clubs want rid of have most of the power.

You do understand that other teams, agents and the player himself have a say in it don’t you. You don’t buy players off the shelf in Tesco. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wouldn’t surprise me, he hardly bust a gut in matches so could easily gone through the motions at training as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It wasn't vague at all. Was at Huddersfield game. Will be announced this week. Apart from the name, he's been pretty open. I know the name is the most important aspect of the whole thing, but clearly people may need to protect their sources. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Zaha dive, could he get a ban for deceiving ref? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Should have let Benteke take it. Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think people struggle to get their head round his and dinosaurs like Dave Merrington don’t help. Like it or not rotation is here to stay, particularly when you’ve got a squad where most players are much of a muchness. A lot of it is about avoiding injuries, so there’s nothing tangible to judge whether it’s worked or not. Would Cedric & Bertrand now be on the sidelines had they been rotated more, would PEH be playing so well, if he hadn’t been. Who knows? The way I look at it, the club have the medical expertise , have the data from training and matches, they’re probably best placed to decide who needs a rest and who doesn’t Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The way Palace set up plays exactly to our weaknesses. Big centre forward and 2 flying wingers, they’re now pretty hard to break down and they break quickly. I’m just hoping that 2 games since Thursday, including one today will catch up with them, more than us who’ve had an extra day. Otherwise this is a tough game Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But fickle enough to call for the managers head after less than 20 games in charge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Personally, I’d play them both at home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

**** sake. If you can't see the difference between the keeper & outfield players when it comes to rotation you really are clueless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don't believe for one minute he'll drop the keeper. You're just trying to shoe horn your dislike of the manager into another thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

**** me, can we finish with the "he's going to be rotated " joke. It's wearing a bit thin. If he stays injury free he'll be in nets Tuesday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? when was the last time a keeper kept a clean sheet and he dropped him. Can't you stop with the sniping for tonight. I doubt if there's one person, even you, who really believes FF will be in nets Tuesday (unless McCarthy is injured). It's less than an hour since the end of the game and we've have the "he'll drop McCarthy joke" from different posters about 6 times already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done The Manager. Criticised pre game for playing Long & leaving out Lamina on pre game thread, but tactically got it spot on. Proved here and at City that he can set sides up to contain the big boys, just needs to prove he can break down sides that sit back at our place. The jury's still out for me, but nobody can doubt the players played for him tonight. Well deserved point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol. Watford squad vpoor. His record is no different than the previous 2 Watford managers, both of whom were sacked. I guess their squads were much better. What do you think of Kammy slating Watford’s tactics at 1-0 up? Stating they were just sitting on the lead playing for a 1-0. With such a vpoor squad I guess that’s the only tactics you can employ against Swansea Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He’s not physical enough. Longs far from perfect, but he’s the only player that could play isolated alone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Finally, somebody gets it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Now 2-1 . Silva sitting on a 1-0 , now getting beat. Dear oh dear , what will his fan club make of that Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Kammy saying that he can’t understand Watford’s tactics, sitting back on a 1-0. Low and behold Swansea score. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Toss up between him & Tadic, with a shout out for Yoshida & Stephens Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Balotelli lol, what are you clowns smoking. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd normally be against breaking our pay structure & bringing new players in at vastly higher wages than everyone else. The problem this causes is wage inflation with existing players then wanting more money. However at the moment this shouldn't be a problem. I doubt if any of them have the balls to try and claim they're underpaid for the performances they've been turning in, and even if they did knock on Les' door asking for a pay rise they'd be laughed out the room.

I feel a bit under informed to post on here, a little bit inadequate because of my lack of knowledge. Unlike the vast majority of posters in this thread I have no idea of Kelvins coaching abilities . Do not know what badges he holds or which ones he's taking, do not know whether he's got the makings of a decent coach or not. I do not even know what his specific duties are within his role . I did think about posting anyway, but decided that it's probably better to know a bit about it before doing so. I don't want to be seen as just confirming my prejudice against every decision the club makes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
