Have we forgotten about Olise and Eze??

How on earth Ferguson got through our sign on medical is beyond me. I wouldn’t be surprised if he hood-winked our medical team a bit who fell hook line and sinker for it.

He was clearly injured whilst still at West Brom. It was probably his tread mill tests at the medical that made a bad injury even worse!


He DIDN'T get through the medical. He was sent back to Baggies and we took him on a free at the end of his contract knowing the situation. He had an operation on his knee (before joining us if I remember correctly) and made a good recovery and was training with the U23s but then got a similar injury to Eze but not as bad apparently. He's been very unlucky.

Both he and Eze are ahead of schedule apparently and could well be back early November.

Some interesting footage from the latest squad training session on Palace TV.

Thought I recognised someone other than Olise hanging around.

Big Difference. Vieira has been given money to implement the tactics and future of the club.FdB Wasn't.

I think after FDB bought Reidewald to be CB, confidence in his judgement was questionable and no more money made available.

You know, this is off topic but I could not bothered to trawl through to find a post on him so this was closest in theme.

Nathan Ferguson. I have seen a lot of posts about why we bought somebody who was obviously a pig in a poke given he had ruptured his ACL and was in recovery. Blame was cast at the club on acquiring a crock player who may never play for us. All fair points.

However, according to what I just read on Newsnow, what actually happened was that we agreed £11m but the talks broke down because of his medical. He then ran down his contract and joined us for free (OK compo given his age). We took a chance given he was England U21 FB and had huge potential.

Now I know more, I think it was worth the punt. Who knew he would endure successive complications and then rupture his Achilles?

On this one we all lucked out and I feel for the lad.

Connor Wickham perhaps

11m for a player with not even half a season of football to his name, that wouldn't of been great business

England U21 RB. Fully fit at today's prices £11m is very good business.

However we got on a free but at considerable risk.

We still have to pay a fee to WBA due to his age and that is yet to be decided

Hopefully the tribunal will take account of the length of his original injury lay-off and decide on a fee nearer to our valuation than that of West Brom.

You’re aware that Reidewald played CB at Ajax? I believe it was Roy who turned him into a midfielder after realising he didn’t have the physicality to play CB in the PL.

The bigger issue with FDB was that he was trying to play Ward as wing back.

Mentioned in my 1st post. Hopefully his lay off will impact. Nice to have the same tribunal as bostock.

Not sure I've seen any post-Spurs praise of Olise. Merely a cameo, but he showed good touch and composure in the part he played in our third goal, given that he had just come on to the pitch.

Absolutely agree. He drove at Spurs with real intent for the 3rd and drew defenders. Ultimately that freed up Edouard. I really liked the look of Olise

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

A blog suggests Eze may return next month!

Got to be nonsense... but if true...

Yes. That cameo said lots about the lad. He had 6 minutes on the pitch and started as he means to carry on by playing his game with his first touch. I look forward to seeing him getting more time very soon.

Confirmed with ferguson fit by November.

Still skeptical that won't pick up another crock in training.

Confirmed a bit strong, but the usually reliable injuries tables has Eze back at the end of this month and Ferguson probably back in November.

Not as serious an injury or his power of recuperation is good.

(My 1st post referenced something off Newsnow which is why I assumed it was rubbish.)
