agreed. If Valery gets injured/sent off/loses form before the end of the season what do we do? Play an 18 yr old who isn’t ready? Ralph may not rate Cedric BUT to have a player who is a full international able to come in - and play either side I might add - is a hell of a lot better than the alternative we have left ourselves with

Ralph must have a hell of a lot of belief in Valery IF we aren’t bringing a replacement for Cedric in until the summer

Cardiff are saying (according to BBC Wales) that the player made his own arrangements and the plane/flight was nothing to do with them.

£5 million wouldn’t buy his left leg in the current transfer market

havent they just, utter dross

Romeu ? WTF

Yes and having had to play for two and a half years under **** head managers he must be really frustrated to be joining the Ralph revolution late.

Palace is the hardest one to try and predict out of that run. They can be very average or very very good. Usually save the best for the big teams and they have got a Cup match next weekend against a big team. Cardiff is the key one for me. Keep them below us and we should be fine.

He looks solid and composed on the ground, when the ball comes flying through the air it’s not quite the same story

nothing to do with playing out of position then ?

He’s coming along nicely, improving every game

In fairness he hasn’t got a lot of choice at the moment

well he's not. Assume Sims was unable to play last night ?

yeah the first was very poor and the second was a combo of Stephens and the young lad Ramsay letting the striker get in unchallenged

The BBC commentators failed to mention we finished that game with a combination of 7 kids and reserves on the pitch. Suppose it would have taken the edge off their Lampard love in !!

ive corrected this for you, you need help you attention seeking weirdo

Danny Murphy is getting on my tits.......he’s finally admitting the guy is offside ! ****

This has to be Moi’s last chance to impress surely ? He has up to now shown, umm, how can I put this ? Oh yeah - **** all !!

Think thats got more to do with Defoe not making Eddie's list of favourites and never getting picked than any lack of ability from the player. Don't know why they ever signed him to be honest.

you are joking of course aren’t you ?

Really ? You should of mentioned it before

Romeu showing what a class act he is. Very pleased he’s back to his best

well there’s three traits I never thought I would see in the same sentence as JWP but I like your positive outlook

Last time I can recall we had such a depleted squad was home to Everton when RK was manager. We won comfortably that day.......that’s the straw I’m clutching anyway

he’s another world beating secretly hidden away gem who has gained incredible ability whilst away on loan at a relegated Blackburn and a poor Birmingham side that he couldn’t even get in.
