It was a fairly frantic game which was enjoyable but not so high in quality. So it was a bit hard to judge.

He looked fairly decent, quite a presence and had some nice touches. For a reasonable fee I think he'd definitely be a useful player.

Calvin Bassey the Rangers CB was the standout for me.

I've seen him on 5 or 6 occasions including last night and he is ok at best.
He shows a good touch at times but not very quick and sometimes i feel he isn't much of a threat.
He did take the goal well last night but was helped by their player slipping.
If we bought him i think he'd be used more as wide in the front three rather as replacement for Gallagher.

Agree thought Bassey was excellent.

Aribo for me does look a good player, Eze-esque if anyone is unaware. Not quite so many tricks up his sleeve but perhaps more likely to get forward hence his goal which, BTW, was bemusing for me in a way - It looked as though he scuffed a poor shot but that equally completely threw the GK who just watched it dribble and bump past him, or was that just me???

I feel a bit burnt with Edouard thus far and would therefore be reluctant for us to commit limited fund to him. I think were he to arrive at Palace he may well be a very welcome addition to the squad however could not see him improving the team/starting XI with any real significance, I think that may be harsh but fair.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I don't think that's harsh. I think you're completely right. From the Scottish PL games I see on Sky, most of the teams aren't even Championship quality. Essentially, it's roughly equivalent to League 1 outside of the top 2. But a top SPL player is going to cost you much, much more than a top League One player. And how many League One players do you think would thrive in the PL?

Like you, I'll give Edouard a full season before I pass judgment on that transfer, but I'm starting to worry his return in Scotland proved only that he's a flat track bully who might not be up to delivering against world-class PL defenders week in, week out.

As it happens, I like Aribo but as others have said, I'd not pay "starter" money for him. He's most likely a squad player. And if Rangers think he's more than that and they're willing to sell then sign him for a sensible fee with a lot of incentives to increase it if he does prove to be the real deal at Premiership level.
