Now that we seem to have finished our work in the transfer market - barring a last minute move for a centre back perhaps - it is surely time for AP and SP to turn their attention to the Crystals' line-up. Having lost the likes of Bronia, Nathalie and Claire to pastures new, we no longer have a squad worthy of a top 10 side. We need to get the scouts out to grass roots level - Whitgift Centre, Beckenham High Road, etc - and recruit some up-and-coming talent. This seems to be a blind spot for the management team and it needs to be addressed before the psychological knock-on effect starts costing us points.

Probably not a good idea. David Pleat got into allsorts of bother trying to "recruit talent" in a similar way when he was at spurs.

By all accounts Pardew is THE man you want to have in charge for such an operation

From memory, Sunday's Match Programme contained an article on Crystal Palace Ladies - and their help towards 800 females getting football opportunities. There is probably scope for some to benefit from development match time at Selhurst Park.

Im not so sure this is the right way to go...

I wonder whether Arsene might consider making Sanogo available for this kind of role?

Top thread!
Darren. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal labotomy. |
