Personally, am not as unhappy as some on here and quite pleased with the signings we did make. McCarthy in particular is very low risk and could turn out to be a bargain if he can find some form after injury. Signing a right back was in my view, low priority, there's adequate cover there, and although it would have been nice to get another striker, there's no guarantee they would score goals either. If Meyer continues to improve, Camarasa in, and with Zaha staying, there's goals in the team with Benteke up top, if it clicks. If not we'll probably be ok anyway.

I'm really astonished by what I'm reading here. I've followed Palace for over 50 years and have always been a glass half full fan - until now. It's beyond belief that we didn't sign a replacement for AWB even if funds are limited. Clearly Wilf's head will now be in a different place for a while at least - and as for Benteke, I'm not sure its a mental thing with him or whether he should've come complete with a barn door when we signed him. Either way it's going to take all of Roy's experience to keep us up this season. Thank God we still have him at least.

im happy, we kept wilf and have strengthened the squad bar right back, however we have a player who is extremely experienced and has never let us down to play there in joel ward. on top of that we only spend like £4m in fees whilst doing so...fantastic business. bring on the new season...onwards & upwards. Edited by braunstoneagle (08 Aug 2019 7.36pm) We’ve lost Batshuayi, have that useless waste of space Benteke back in as first choice with rusty Wickham to come on twice before crocking himself again and Ward to get roasted after game 3 or 4 right up until January. On the plus side we have 5 slow but experienced and reliable CB’s and about 7 midfielders who play sideways a lot and a new attacking midfielder.

Our priority should have been a striker, someone like Mitrovic. £35 - 40M of the AWB money would have got him. Sack Freedman, as a spotter of talent he doesn't have a clue.

I'll sit on the fence for a few games and see how we are set up - but not replacing AWB and Bats is difficult to understand. Wilf can't do it on his own and it looks to me that we start this season with a weaker team than finished last season. Yep. After all the profligacy we then bought who was available. Now we mainly buy whoever is being chucked out in the rubbish. The squad is so imbalanced again it’s mad.

Utter tripe of a window Freedman should by sued for robbing a living from the club. No striker again, no right back, we are owned by a penny pinching cretin...almost miss Noades, at least we knew where we stood with him.
