The expectations of some are unrealistic, to think we are going to all of a sudden play quick forward passing every game from the start of the season is fanciful.
It will take time to gel any new players into the team, all we can hope is that PV doesn’t go down the FDB route. This season is going to be a hard slog, if we survive, then the following season we will be nearer the style he wants to play.

at the same time it is realistic that we can get the ball quicker to our 'danger' players, so I would expect to see a noticeable change in style from the beginning of the season

Given our tough start it seems unrealistic to think we won’t retain a substantial defensive effort in the games against Chelsea Man City etc. I’d be happy if initially we just looked to have more idea of how to move forward when we do get the ball out of defense.

Wasn't it Spike Milligan who when he ran out of ideas for a sketch just walked around saying "whadda do now?" I hope our players haven't been watching that.

 


One more point

I thought this was a thread about Wilf?

With our rumoured interest in Lookman I still feel as though Wilf might be off. We're spending a fair chunk of money, with another defender and CM still needed, and it has to come from somewhere really.

Lookman / Eze / Schlupp / Zaha / Olise / Ayew is a great array of attacking midfielders to support Benteke and I wouldn't be surprised if we kept Wilf until January and then sold him when Eze was fit again.

 


We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Or maybe it is about building a squad, given our injury record we need one, or being able to play different systems. It is possible he may want to play some games without a big centre forward.

Hasn't Wilf gone yet? I'm getting bored of this and want to have money to spend on players who actually want to be at Selhurst...

Definitely but I'm just suspicious that we're suddenly spending so much and seemingly willing to spend more. After a few barren years I feel like that cost has to be at least partially offset.

I guess if large amounts of wages have been cleared up by releasing players, this could be the start of a new financial cycle? Basically borrowing on furue earnings.
Also, the players signed so far, plus some we are linked to - could be looked at investments, for future resale value, hopefully profitable.
We would be particularly well placed if any of our academy players reach AWB, Mitchell or Wilf standards. Mitchell probably worth quite a bit. I hesitate to guess how much - perhaps more than 25 mil? Although, I'm glad he's staying. But if you think about it, his sale alone would pay for the academy.
So I guess I'm saying we perhaps didn't need major funds coming in. We'll spread it out over the next FFP period. I think a new one has just started (I think I heard this). Obviously, the downside is - we'd have to sell eventually but that's how it is unless you're megabucks sides. Has always been so for us. I'm still pissed off over Sansom and Allen.

So we're really having to fight off all of the suitors for Wilf. Realistically he's not going anywhere as it seems no one wants him. Which is not surprising given his attitude, form and cost. I'd be shocked if he wasn't in the lineup against Chelsea in the first game of the new season.

I've seen this a couple of times but he was up there in scoring wide players last year. He was also involved in a load of our goals, if not straight assists. He also was the second? most fouled player after Grealish. And Grealish falls over whenever he's within a foot of anyone. He cannot use public transport as a result of this.
