You received a Letraset for your birthday, and that is one of your first efforts.

IF this (or any of the other departure rumours) has any basis in fact, then my concern would be that we may be placing all of our eggs in the 3-4-3 basket, which is fine if it (hopefully) works, but could leave us with problems if it doesn't. I'd be wary of ripping up all of the old foundations until it's established that the new building is viable.

Both Kelly and Mensah are more than capable at right back.

Joel Ward and Julian Speroni were the two players we took up with us in the Championship that I thought were most ready for Premier League football. I think that was possibly proven although I acknowledge a lot of other players stepped up to the mark. However, I am now thinking he's probably somewhere like 15th or 16th on the list. That's not to say he's got worse, but I think it does show how the club have progressed and several areas of the pitch. I also think he's a good fullback with very little ability as wing back, which you can't blame him for, he came in as a fullback and has just had something different asked of him. A great servant to the club that, if he parted, will almost certainly do so with no hard feelings from Palace fans that have seen him put in shift after shift, but I do feel we should be looking to upgrade here.

Inevitable I suppose if he feels he won't get a look in under a 3-4-3 system.

However, if (as someone else has said) 3-4-3 goes to pot and we revert back to 4-3-3 then Ward will come back into the fold.

Don't sell him just yet.
