I did call and still will call him BFS!
I am pleased he is doing well and he still would not have been my choice at the time but I say now as I did then that I will support him all the way.
He has made good signings and have now won 3 in 5 and had three clean sheets which regardless of the opposition is brilliant and confidence boosting.
4 more home wins and we will be done and dusted!
Long may BFS's influence continue!!

BS would be better.

Palace 13th 2017/18.

I think Benteke may be important in this. According to paper reports he was instrumental in getting him to come on loan.

Yes all of BFS signings seem to be working at present. However the need for a left back was caused by Souare's injury more than anything else We had some "backup" in both Kelly and Ward.

If we stay up and if Sam stays then I see a few players going. Quite a few players are out of contract. I think he will try to keep Zaha and Benteke unless we get offers we can't refuse.

Loan Players

Players are
Mamadou Sakho who I think we will try to get
Loďc Rémy for whom we have a buying option (which I hope we don't take up)

Players out of contract are

Wayne Hennessey so the WH haters will be happy. I think he will be offered a contract and turn it down

Joe Ledley who be allowed to leave

Martin Kelly who be allowed to leave

Fraizer Campbell who be allowed to leave

Zeki Fryers who be allowed to leave

Mathieu Flamini who be allowed to leave

Damien Delaney who I think may be offered a coaching role

Julián Speroni I think will depend on WH he may stay as 3rd choice keeper and may be offered a coaching role

Kwesi Appiah will be allowed to leave.

So there are potentially 10 25 man squad players going

We also still have Benteke Jr. Not sure how good he really is or can be though

Didn't you start a thread last month that started 'lads and lasses we are down', then was saying who would be sold 'when' we were relegated?
How's the glass house mate?

I'm confident we'll stay up now, my only concern is how much money we're spending on transfers and wages - if and when we have another poor season and go down we might end up like Bolton or Charlton - Pulis at West Brom has a much more sustainable model for clubs of our size, though it does involve several 30-something navvies playing horrible football - the yanks are minted but we might be in a bubble that could burst - more fire fighting and cash splashing than strategy it seems. As for Big Sam and the long ball tag - that is history - so were Pardew and Ollie when they started out - West Ham and Sunderland played cultured thoughtful football under him to my eyes, more crosses from deep than some but these were always allied to very intelligent movement from the forwards - that's why he was so p*ssed off with doogie a few years back when he incorrectly stereo-typed him as a route 1 merchant.
