I think all the players brought in look like good signings.

The only problem being what we really needed were (at least one, if not two) better quality full backs, and a striker who can actually put the ball in the net. Which we seem to have ignored again.

But I don't doubt that inflated prices, caused by Saudi, and the top of the EPL, have made it almost impossible to find good quality for a reasonable price.

We should finish comfortably mid-table this year. The question already is what to do post Roy.

Yawns

We received an offer for 1 player only Olise the rest of the names was all media speculation.

Nothing to do with SP or Freedman.

If a club comes in for people now clubs don't really have any power at all it's all about the players really and we have seen this already.

Your post is a joke right

Holding proven EPL defender WHAT.

Top class goalkeeper yet he has been dumped by United. (has 1 England cap back in 2020)

Palace already had England capped players Eze, Johnstone, Mitchell, Guehi, Clyne (3 of those had been called up for this current squad)

When people like yourself do not have proper arguments you come out with the silly comments about the likes of Football Manager (I would like to point out all the data in that game is from scouts with over 90% of it being the same data clubs pay for some managers in the past even mentioned using it as a tool)

How can you be really happy every one else is doing something yet we a club who has been in this league for over a decade go for rejects or do nothing happy to keep resigning 30+ year olds.

For me a decent window, 36m on 4 players, Lerma excellent, Henderson good, two decent Keepers, i expect Guaitas contract to be ended, Holding for 4m ok, and i suppose Franca must be decent, if he is ever fit, keeping all our best players, the one disappointment for me is Burnley getting Mike Tresor on loan, he is going to be one hell of a player, and wouldnt have been expensive from Genk.

Don't you just hate transfer windows? Well, I certainly do - all those rumours and counter rumours, stupid clickbait gossip making no sense at all, agents pushing their clapped out stars for ridiculous money.

Oh yes, the money. Billions have been spent. Change for the sake of change. The Saudis still in the hunt for Salah with a possible offer of £200 million.

If we must go along with this meat market approach to buying and selling players, then I reckon we did OK. So, we lost Wilf, but we kept the rest of our star players who, according to the gossip, were highly rated by other clubs. Keeping Olise felt like a big coup, the same goes for Eze - wonderful business.

I'm delighted with the way Mr Parish managed the whole process, except for the fact we still don't have a first rate striker

Are people not aware Guaita has left?

[Link] - Celta have announced he's joined.

Hilariously, Palace just don't fancy giving him the air time to announce it.
