Originally posted by foxedup He can be a massive threat, just lacking in end product. He causes chaos as he has no idea what he's going to do next, so the defender won't either. He's great at gaining ground and getting you into threatening areas. His link up play has always been pretty good I thought. He just caves in the second he gets into a position where he needs to think. If he has time to think, the ball will end up about a mile out of the ground. Or he'll just kick it straight at a defender. When he plays on instinct and doesn't have time to think he'll smash one in from 30 yards or put in a worldy cross. That's why I've always wanted him to be given time. The ability is absolutely there, it's almost like he needs calming down and someone to help him with his composure to get the best out of him. Again, similar things could be said about Bolasie at 24. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Sounds exactly like Bolasie. Bolasie used to get us up the pitch in dangerous areas even if we weren't playing well, you end up pinning the opposition back in their own half with practically no build up phase.

That's literally word for word what used to be said about Bolasie! If we managed to coax some end product out of him, like we finally started to do with Bolasie, it could be a cracking signing. The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

£12m for a 24 year old who can play at left back or left wing isn't a bad deal in todays market.

He will be a good solid squad player and will add competition or prob start ahead of Townsend, what we've missed! Leicester have fantastic players compared to us! He's versatile too, sign the cheque Stevie p get it done!

Two very shrewd PROVEN premier league Managers who have built their reputations on solid defensive units (Pulis and Big Sam) rate him enough to offer £10 mil plus. Speaks volumes for his ability and potential. Thats good enough for me! And he is undoubtedly better than what we have. I can see us moving toa 3 5 2 formation very soon and that will be perfect for Schlupp.

[Link] Just about all the rumours are about left sided players, whether Schlupp, Brady, Davies or Downing. Hopefully two of these four will sign. I am assuming Downing is most likely, as its a loan and tge cheapest option. I also assume we cant afford we cant afford both Schlupp and Brady, as they will both be around £12m, but whoever signs, these are good players and will improve the first team

Originally posted by Midlands Eagle That's not hard to achieve but I can't see us paying £12m for a squad player so I'm guessing that one of Zaha or Townsend will be leaving - hopefully the latter I doubt it. We need them both for the other flank with Wilf able to swap sides and bamboozle the opponent. Also, it wasn't long ago that Townsend was tearing up strips for Newcastle and England and almost kept the Magpies up single handed. That was only months ago; and he is still the same man [somewhere in there]. Don't give up on him yet.

taylors lovechild 11 Jan 17 9.43am
According to Wiki he got players' POTY award in 2014/15 and was young POTY in 2014/15 and 2015/16. This suggests he has good character and potential. Speed, power and a lack of direction makes him sound like a born and bred Palace winger, so I hope this goes through. Bolasie MKII perhaps?

Like I said earlier, don't read too much into that. He won by default by being essentially the only player eligible for the award.

I can see us moving toa 3 5 2 formation very soon and that will be perfect for Schlupp. If (and it's a big IF) someone could get his head right in terms of defending and positioning. The lad could be a Danny Rose, absolutely no question about that. He will just need patience and time. He has played all over the pitch, grew up a striker so it's only natural he won't have those instincts straight off... if you accept that and give him time, who knows. I had the same thoughts as you, two managers who are good and eventually tightening up defences and getting them organised, either could be very very good for him.

Seems a lot of money but in general I think I'd trust SA. Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.
