There is also differing versions as to where the blame lies with that (i.e. it is claimed by some that FdB was not signing off on players offered to him). However, as with any orgnaisation, the buck stops at the top so SP must accept ultimate responsibility for failures in the summer window. However, we are 8 days into this window so, regardless of past history, we need to remain a little patient and accept that very few deals have been done so far. We are also dealing with a moving target insomuch as we suddenly have new areas of the squad to patch up and we need to ensure that transfers from this point onwards are correct rather than rushed. Rushed transfers is one of the reasons we've got a squad of 24 but only around 14 good enough to play at PL level. I'd rather we got 2 excellent players this window that we need than 5 bang average ones. I also think that we've been in tense situations before and quite often Parish has managed to hold his nerve well enough when everyone else is losing their shit. Yes, once or twice it appears to have cost us, but there have been several times where holding nerve was, retrospectively, effective. |

Last night showed we are short on squad strength, but for the immediate situation to get us through any possible relegation problems i would say the need is for FOUR players.
Firstly a Keeper and the Spanish guy sounds as though he could fit the bill at a very sensible fee. Next a Centre Back especially as Dann with the seriousness of his injury and age could be out for a very long time, so it may make sense to look at a quality replacement and i would go for Smalling with his experience would be excellent alongside Sakho in time, and if we play a well balanced Back Three it could be Tomkins-Smalling-Sakho. Next a Central Midfielder with energy and a "bite" to add in the central area as unfortunately Cabaye is starting to show his age, i feel either Harry Arter or Ward-Prowse would add real quality to that area. Finally Two Strikers, currently CB is so badly out of goalscoring touch that we cant rely on him for the goals needed, and as for Wickham who knows as to when he will be back to match fitness let alone sharpness, so TWO new strikers is a must which will still only leave us with just Four strikers. Who would i have? One must be a proven goalscorer and someone that could play in a "Two" upfront that for me is Andre Gray, and the other is someone that Roy and club seem to like that's Niasse, not necessarily my choice. Ok this little lot may cost us in excess of 50m, but survival in the lucrative premiership this season along with the New Stand construction in the not too distant future, must mean it is crucial we stay up, but also build for next season and beyond and without the constant worry of struggling season after season to stay up. So spending in this window wisely could ensure that, but also possibly we DON'T need to then spend much in the summer, simply moving on players out of contract and replacing with squad players that will be readily available cheaply. This is only a question of spending now when the need and time suits the circumstances we are currently in to benefit Palace when it is needed most. |

The Palace way is actually to wait until the last minute and then notice that no-one has fallen into your lap.

This period is all about Agents trying to play clubs off against each other to get the best deal for the player.
I can't see us doing much business until later in the window. Just the way it works and unless you overpay like Liverpool or Barcelona not much gets done early. We are likely to have a long list of targets just need to be patient. |

When shit hits the fan we get to work. We signed 3 in a day in our promotion season, we signed about 28 on deadline day in our first season back and we were the top spenders this time last year. Admittedly last summer was a cluster**** and only an idiot would repeat that again.

What is needed in this window, and to what end? If it is needed (as opposed to wished for) why would the owners not accomplish this?
