You nicely forgot to mention the five clean sheets in eight, we have no problems on the pitch.

What are the alternatives?

Just can't see our chairman agreeing to pay 20m for Tammy Abraham. He's the only decent player available in this window.

Blimey, how an earth did you come to that conclusion? Kouyate's been awesome.

I cant agree with that. What i would say is he's been quiet in the last 2 games...but he and McArthur have formed a fantastic partnership in the middle breaking up the oppositions possession on so many occasions. When you do this it's inevitable you'll lose the ball in the challenge, but I'd sooner him in there than not. he's been a great signing for the money we paid!

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

I get what you're eluding to, and clearly i'd sooner he'd have scored the chance then miss it; however in the wider context of what it likely means; I was gutted!

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

I didn't forget anything.
Our defence is the only reason we aren't in the bottom three but you won't win many games if you can't score.

Roy saying that Benteke will be like a new signing if he gets fit tells you how this transfer window will go.

I love to be wrong when it comes to Palace my negativity but we have seen this scenario in several previous windows. Lots of players linked, deals falling through and then we make a last minute signing of someone totally underwhelming.
I have already stated my theory that the owners wish to spend no more real money because they want to put the club up for sale after the new stand is built.

Once again I hope to be wrong.
