Kelly could do a job in fairness, and Jach will come in handy if run out of training ground dummies. In seriousness, if we sign another centre back after Andersen then we will run the risk of blocking the development of the ones we've signed already. Get Andersen in, then move on to other parts of the pitch. Kelly is the worst player to play for Palace in the last 5 years and the only thing Jach ever did is score a great pen. I will take this with a pinch of salt because anyone considering Kelly as a footballer has frankly not been paying much attention.

I pay a lot of attention to games and can’t remember Kelly ever letting the side down. To label him the worst player is ludicrous

Never mind. Kelly is fine. Not earth shattering but fine. One could argue that if you consider Kelly to be the worst player from the last five years then perhaps the opportunity to pay a little more attention should be shared around between us. None of which matters if Andersen arrives of course. Do we have anyone live in Sainsbury's car park?

To label him the worst player is ludicrous I agree with the general thrust of these sentiments. Kelly,apart from a handful of games at Huddersfield when he was a teenager,has played all his league football in the PL. Edited by Willo (25 Jul 2021 10.32pm)

Kelly has never let us down when called in to play CH. He struggled when played as a FB, but always gave 100%. He was in the England set up for a while and won one cap, so really cannot be so bad.

He always gives his all. But his ability is limited. There were a few times under Pardew when he was caught out, particularly when he was being asked to fill in at left back. One clanger that springs to mind was an end of season game at Liverpool. We've definitely had worse players. As a £1m signing way back when he's been great value for the club. As long as players give there all that's good enough for me. If they don't have the ability to play at this level, then that manager that signed them should take accountability.

To use his time at LB to highlight his failings is very unfair. Kelly was not a left sided player and clearly showed it. It was heartless of Pardew to do that to him.

Pardew was responsible for absolutely destroying Kelly's confidence that season for persistently playing him in a position that he clearly could not play. As for the 'worst player in 5 years' comment by whoever it was, they clearly never watched Benteke for 2 and a half seasons. Edited by kennybrowns leftfoot (26 Jul 2021 8.50am)
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!! |

Especially given that Jordan Mutch was also stealing a living at Palace for 4 years ! Hope the Andersen deal comes off. He looks decent.

I can only endorse the support for Kelly but to get this thread back on track, the signing of Joachim Andersen would be another fantastic addition to our squad. A first choice centre back pairing of him and Guehi is a mouth watering prospect. I hope our club confirm this signing later on today. If so, that would be the CB position done for me and time to concentrate on a winger, LB and midfielder. It is looking promising as we’ve still got the two loan positions to fill.

1. I would expect Tomkins and Andersen to be the first choice partnership to begin our season. Guehi will get his chances but we need a CB pairing with PL experience in those early difficult games. Yes, I would agree with that. Guehi will get his chances, unfortunately, when Tomkins is out injured. I presume that we either wont renew Tomkins contract at the end of the season or, if we do, he will be offered a new one on reduced terms as he becomes back-up to the Andersen/Guehi partnership. Assuming that the deal is done!
