What exactly is left side narrow?

Think of it as the opposite of right side wide

SSN are ridiculous, if you ask most Germans what they think of Meyer and they’ll say he run the midfield at Schalke! Sky showed a 40 second clip of his stats stating he hasn’t scored or got an assist, the usual hate on Palace! I think he’s got big potential, just needs to show his class and get some more first team football!

Those are his stats in the last season when he was moved from attacking midfielder to central midfielder. It's harder to contribute to goals from that position.

Spurs haven't bought anyone. Grealish has gone cold. Levy loves a bargain. CL football.

Did he play against us in the friendly?


Just checked, he did come on as a 60th minute sub

Exactly what I saw last season which is why I made the suggestion. His best performances have been in that deeper role seemingly due to his slight lack of pace - something that would be magnified in the PL.

Reckon he could be the creative spark needed to terrify teams going forward with Wilf, Andros & just about any striker thriving on accurate, clever passes.

Everything crossed.

He’s not particularly well known for being a deeper playmaker who is concentrated on pressing or tackling. His strengths are in a freerer position where he is able to create. He doesn’t lack speed either.

I assume if de Souza is also on the way. He’ll fill the spot next to Luka with Meyer on the left. It’s a very versatile system where everyone has their own role.

There are definitely similarities with Cabaye. But I think that’s more because Cabaye was an all rounder of a midfielder. And he only really adopted that deeper role with us. Was always more of a box to box type, was known for his intensity too. Different to Meyer in that sense, who’s more of the Ozil/David Silva mould.

Can’t help but feel with Drinkwaters name in the mix. Meyer and Drinkwater would turn this lacklustre window into something brilliant. A new striker too and it would be perfection.

Midfield 4 of
Townsend - Luka - Drinkwater - Meyer

And a strike force of Wilf and the new guy.

Now that would certainly wet the appetite.

Agreed.

Also good news this is coming from the Guardian which normally gets Palace reporting spot on. As such I very much expect this to happen... potentially a big upgrade on RLC... who’d have thought!

Can’t imagine we’ll also sign Antonio and a DM but if we do... WOW

Window is hotting up!!


If we do sign Antonio then my guess is that Zaha will be sold. If he is sold before a suitable (if there can be one) purchase this will inflate any buying price. Hopefully my rationale is wrong.

I think Tottenham will boycott this transfer and sign Meyers. There’s news reports coming out mentioning Tottenham now, allbe it nothing concrete yet.

Meyer update

Shalke Sporting director has confirmed Meyer is very close to joining Palace and is having a medical.

"It's normal the club contact us, it's about the academy training," he told Sky Germany. "We will get a compensation fee for that then.

"I believe Max is currently doing his medical"

This would be a great signing on a free transfer. Imagine him as the number 10. Kouyote/Gonlans/De Souza to slot in behind him alongside Luka. A slight change in the style we play but workable. If we can get Anoonio as well I'd be very happy with this summers buisness

I really don't see that happening now. If they can get Meyer and Antonio in that might encourage a couple of good loanees and the team could really kick on without too large a transfer outlay

Wife just showed me a tweet from Zaha saying Wilkommen Max Meyer??? No idea if genuine but if so it's great news on two fronts!

Definitely fake for a few reasons,
1: Guy who tweeted known to spread bs from time to time.
2: The supposed instagram from Wilf isn't on his actual instagram, looks like a shoddy attempt at copying a insta story. (unless he has 2 instagram profiles or deleted it immediately)
3: Think Wilf after the media storm he was involved in the last day would keep his head relatively low regarding transfers.

You will struggle to find a better free agent signing this window than this if this comes off

 


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!!
