Originally posted by cryrst From what I’ve seen che adams certainly puts in his shift on the pitch. Surely that is what fans want to see. Ok he’s not AJ or wright but will bring effort and commitment and some skill. I'd sign Adams tomorrow. He'll only get about ten goals, but we'll get more from Eze, Olise (if retained and when fit), and hopefully Franca too with a mobile forward who actually f***ing runs around. It's been a long time since we had a mobile striker who put a shift in.

Good pace and good in the air , which we are lacking .

Perfect position, centre of six yard , perfect finish.

I am late 70s Croydon Trucker so have been supporting Palace 70 years. So I dont give a f**k what other fans think of my opinions. I just think SP is ruining our club by not investing in more players when we obviously need them. When we are linked with players they are from clubs that were relegated and these players were not good enough to keep those clubs in the PL last season.

I just think SP is ruining our club by not investing in more players when we obviously need them.** When we are linked with players they are from clubs that were relegated and these players were not good enough to keep those clubs in the PL last season. We have invested in players, and Parish is not the guy to spend what we don't have. Look how well that went for Goldberg and Jordan. There certainly have been holes in the squad that needed filling, but we have survived. Hopefully we will fix those holes as best we can in this window. If we somehow keep hold of Olise and sign a striker, a winger and a defender, we will look like a decent squad. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (06 Aug 2023 2.43pm)

Originally posted by Phil’s Barber Jimmy & Luka were past it and I believe it was absolutely the right thing not to renew Zaha. He is ageing, slowing down and missing more and more game time through injury. As good as he was for us, I’m glad the whole ‘Zaha - will he stay or will he go’ saga is now over and we can look to the future having shifted by far the most expensive and overrated player off our books (look at his goal/assist stats since the World Cup). Tompkins is fit again (in the squad yesterday) and Mitchell is rumoured to be in contention for the opening game next week - I don’t actually rate either of them as first team starters now. Hughes will be injured for longer but with the arrival of Lerma and the progress of Ahamada, I don’t see him being used as anything but a substitute or starting in the Carabao Cup games. Olise is the only real negative and could be out for a while. I’m excited to see França join and think he will be very good for us. There’s still plenty of time left yet and if we can secure Lewis Hall, a new decent right back and sell Mateta and replace him with a better CF then it will have been a decent window (keeping hold of Guehi, Andersen, Olise, Doucoure & Eze are of huge importance though). Dazza said we have £70M to spend if we don’t renew Zaha, we’ve only spent £17M of that so far on França so that leaves us £53M !!! Edited by Phil’s Barber (06 Aug 2023 10.38am) Really? I thought he said £30m on which basis we have £13m left for Adams plus whatever we can get for Mateta. In the Lyon programme, our chairman stated that the club were trying hard to get ONE OR TWO more over the line (after Lerma). Franca is the ONE and I suspect Adams may be the TWO. More than that and we're looking at loans hence all the noise about Hall from Chelsea.
