He’s probably a cabaye type player. We’ve missed someone like this to keep possession and pass. Staggering how many footballers earning tens of thousands of pounds a week can't perform these skills, which one would assume to be the bare minimum for a player. Then more staggering how many of them seem to end up at Selhurst Park!
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

Im not sure why we have bought him, I can only assume as back-up. He may make the bench and perhaps the best thing he can hope for is a string of injuries.
Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978 |

Can't say I know much about him as a player, but from reading the Watford forum, it sounds like we've got ourselves a decent player here. Good on the ball, right attitude and touted as a future Watford captain. They seem gutted to have lost him. With him, Zaha, Gallagher, Olise, Eze, Riedewald we've got some technically good midfielders/attackers who should be able to create a few more chances.

I wish Will Hughes well. But in the bargain basement, I'd have thought Sissoko, for £3m (reportedly) the better buy. I thought Sissoko was on our radar for a while, but £20m, if Spurs was prepared to sell, was the quoted price. So Watford has sold Hughes, bought Sissoko and made £3m in the process. Fine.

He is experienced and only 26. Mobile, can pass and keep possession. Something our midfield has been lacking, I am happy with this signing, if proved wrong I will happily hold my hands up. I sincerely hope he is not written off by some before he has even played

Must say £3m for Sissoko seems a steal

How do you think the team would look with Hughes? And can you see Palace pushing for the top 10 with this side? I think 4-3-3 (Guaita, Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Ward, Gallagher, Hughes, Mcarthur, Zaha, Benteke, Olise)

Edited by Zaha127 (29 Aug 2021 4.50pm) I am beginning to think Butland may be first choice before too long

I can really seeing him clicking with King Conor. It's great business - end of.
