I like Ledley but believe we need to improve on this. A holding midfielder to me is someone who can break up play, receive the ball in tight areas and make a killer pass. Currently when we have the ball deep in our own half there's only cabaye and Mac who I'm mildly confident in retaining possession. That's why it needs to be addressed... If we want to improve that is.

Not sure about Remy, for a player of only 29 he seems to be on the decline quite quickly. The Remy of 2 years ago i would have welcomed with open arms but this could be Adebayor Mk2

Remy may be past his depth but he will add quality, and gives us more options. Although, I want to see Freddie Lapado be given a go.

If we want to improve that is. I agree with this, but unfortunately Guedioura and Garvan have left the club. We certainly need that break through player who can deliver the ball where the strikers need it or, indeed, get us out of trouble. There were signs from YC of this passing range last season, but I don't envisage him being the answer. We need midfield additions and competition for JP as someone has posted earlier in the off--season.
So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet. |

I did see AP saying one iconic player out to be replaced by one coming in, but I still think there are other priorities. We need to avoid replacing the whole team in one go.
