I think he will be a decent signing and only on loan so not exactly the end of the world if it doesn't. I'd still like to see Origi come in if possible, I think he's underrated and will give us a different option up front which i think we still lack

New boy Kouyate apparently plays centre back with some aplomb. Not his preferred position but he's more than able to fill in.

Reported this morning we have recieved a bid for Jairo [Link]

Wonder if that sale will fund another signing or loan signing.

At the moment this looks a good window.
Most importantly Zaha staying put.
Furthermore, Kouyaté could prove to be an excellent signing.
He gives extra height,energy and strength in midfield and he’s a decent footballer.Against opponents like Cardiff, Hulddersfield and Burnley these attributes are important and will help the midfield from being outmuscled.
Meyer is an unknown quantity but has good pedigree and hopefully he can help get over the loss of Cabaye.
Ayew likes to run in behind defences and can play across the front line and he gives Palace different options going forward.
Also a new goalkeeper which has been needed for a while.

Yes I’m happy. We’ve been smart this time.

But don’t get carried away. I thought West Brom had a decent window getting good prices last summer and look. We won’t go down but best to be cautiously optimistic. It’s only any injuries to key players that’ll stuff us this time, and even then there’s good players available, hopefully.
