I would like to see him given opportunity but it looks like RH does not think he is good enough . Not sure I agree with your comment in that he was one of the most highly thought of players in Europe though - did he struggle to get regular starts for Ajax last season ?

Spending £9m on him yet starting our season with 2 keepers who are out of their depth at this level and 1 fit striker really emphasises what a disaster our transfer window was.

That’s fair.

What’s he contributing to our season? Therein lies your answer..

The powers that be at Palace didnt want JR or TFM

Riedewald and Fosu-Mensah will both get opportunities in the Christmas period when RH will need to rotate. Expect to see Sako reappear too.
Any sign of Darren Anderto... sorry, I mean Wickham ?? :rolleyes:

Excellent? Really?

Not aware enough of what's around him a lot of the time.

Left back position at this club is a weak one, and for too long.

Can’t send him on loan to another Prem team as he clearly isn’t ready, and I don’t see any other league in Europe which has a similar style to English football whilst being of a reasonable standard.

I thought Jairo was pretty poor in his last couple of matches, like a rabbit in the highlights for some time.

However, I agree that there were a number of extenuating circumstances during that period and I’d certainly give the guy more time to adjust and more chances.

It’s too early to describe him as ‘dead wood’ in my opinion...he could come in at Xmas and do well.

If he’s still out the squad come the end of the season, sell then. I’d only sell him in January if he’s not fighting for his place or wants to return to Holland.

TFM looks like a talented young player to me. Jairo just looks bang average. If he goes onto be one of Europe’s top players I’ll happily eat humble pie but I seriously doubt it.

'Deadwood' after 4 or 5 months......jeez :rolleyes:

You don't have to be one of Europe's top players to play for Palace though. So you're setting a bit of a ridiculously high bar there.

Roy was asked about him at the Stoke press conference. Good to see a reporter ask a decent question for once. Roy said there was no expected return date and reminded the reporter that the injury was a bad one (a ruptured ACL I think like Bolasie?). He did however add that the latest news was better than previous.

We should definitely keep him. He's clearly got a lot of technical ability. But I can see why Hodgson is opting for more experienced players at the moment. I think Riedewald will come good though.

Despite this, given the gaps in our squad this summer it wasn't a wise use of limited resources.

Schlupp has been alright recently but I've always thought this was a great shout. He done it for Ajax comfortably, people forget he's still very young so he will develop a lot more. He's four years younger than Zaha!

Not every one is a hit in their first season, especially when you are moving country to a different type of league and the manager that signed you is sacked after 4 games, and you are in a relegation scrap.

Looked very comfortable. Good battling performance, and steady distribution.

He has only just turned 21. Let that sink in. He will clearly become a very good player. If he had come through our academy everyone would be going mad for him.

He played well today. Looked a little slow at times but his passing was pretty good.

Very good today :p
