I would respectfully suggest it is a comparison of playing style rather than a direct comparison in ability.

Why devoid of strikers? It's not their fault that Souare can't cross. I seem to remember the net Palace population of the box on most of these occasions being Campbell. Pardew didn't use Gayle properly, Wickham has had spells of injury (and a ban, last season) and Adebayor didn't live up to expectations. So would you accept van Aanholt as a replacement for Souare in the circumstances? I would. Does that mean Souare is no good? Obviously not. In any case we're missing the point here that however good or not Souare was last season there's no guarantee he'll ever be up to Premiership football after his injury. In the context of that any comparison between his performances last season and those of any other player are to a degree academic. And some of you mentioning no names should be showing him a bit more respect because he has been a valuable member of the squad and he is lucky to be alive. HTH.

You are wrong, you either misunderstood or too wrapped up in your argument. Either way just unwilling to admit you got it wrong At the risk of repeating myself again and sounding like a frigging Parrot, I haven't seen enough of van Aanholt to comment on his ability in any depth which is why I quoted a Sunderland supporting friend re his consistency.

Yannick Bolasie - Glenn Murray - Wilfried Zaha Most exciting attacking trio at Selhurst Park in years. |

Glad we agree that Souare is not good forward and that van Aanholt is.

Anyone seen Bilko since he got that thing wrong about Flamini and the squad places. That was one of the funniest things to happen on the Hol in the many years I have been reading this site. Looking back, SB was threatened with a card and hasn't posted since, which is a shame.

He as a funny one Bilko wasn't he?? I remember a couple of seasons ago an incident that the ref missed during one of our games. Everyone wanted to know why he couldn't be retrospectively charged. I asked my dad who is a referee assessor for the FA and then posted the answer on here. Bilko was adamant my Dad was wrong. A few days later the FA issued a statement basically repeating what my Dad had told me.... Bilko still wouldn't have it and insisted both my Dad and the FA were wrong!! Did make me chuckle...
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Another one off the list then ......SUNDERLAND REJECT PVA BID David Moyes has admitted Sunderland have knocked back a bid from Crystal Palace for Patrick van Aanholt. Sky sources understand the bid to be in the region of £7m. Moyes also said Sunderland have knocked back bids for "a lot" of their players this month. If Sunderland were desperate to keep him, why would they publicize the bid? This sound s like they're trying to invite more bids.
