Wahey! Point remains that Palace's defence was seen as comfortably worse than ours in the Champ ( and stats backed this up ) and they haven't done MUCH to it, yet with the right manager and system has proved more than good enough in the Prem. People write of players being "not prem classy far far far too easily.

Delaney has been a revelation this season, far exceeding what I expected.
New signings Dann and Marriapa have given us that little bit of class.
You are right about having the right manager and system in place, does OG fit the bill though ?

Correct

We could scape survival with most of our first 11. Any injuries we'd be screwed.

BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE WITH CURRENT SQUAD

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

We'd have to certainly spend roughly the same amount Palace have......without spunking £8M on a League 1 standard striker who hasnt done anything and is pretty much now a bench warmer.

You're better than this BBBW

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

PL ready: TK, Upson, Ward, Ulloa, Andrews, KLL, Buckley (when not injured), Orlandi (again, when not injured)
May step up: Dunk, Stephens, Ince, March

 

[Mellotron]

SIX ?? !!!!!!
Oh do leave off you daft sod !
£10/12 mill wouldn't buy you a lot, you would need strengthening throughout.

Upson - comfortably better than any of your defence
Greer
Bruno - la Liga regular at VALENCIA til recently
Ward
Calde
Dunk

You really don't think they're better than a player on loan at Barnsley, and a player who last year was part of a pretty poor champ defence?

 

[desprateseagull]

does the PL give new teams a bung up?

Upson - comfortably better than any of your defence

[glasfryn]

most of the player IMHO would be given a chance to show what they can do
we would need to strengthen with good young players
we would survive on what I have seen on MOTD ,some of the teams already in the premiership are ****
we could well hold our own

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Hopefully we would strengthen sensibly in key areas but retain a core of the current team. They'd all deserve to show what they can do in the PL.

You're greatly missed on the bbs mellotron

Your current squad would get murdered in the Premier League. Face it, it's not a convincing Championship side. You're probably limping into the play offs, although I fancy Ipswich (and Johnny Williams) to 6th place.

Look at Palace. For a good few weeks/months, we were top or top three last year. We brought in some players with Premier League experience. Despite this, putting aside the handicap of Holloway, we looked dead and buried to most neutrals after 10 games.

Unless I'm mistaken, your Premier League experience extends to Upson and your keeper - one old, the other with few first team games. You will need to buy in more talent. I don't think you'll make it this year though.

Erm... You fancy or you hope !

Bit of both

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

1. Kuszczak, Upson (but with a faster player beside him), Ward, Ince, Stephens, Buckley, Ulloa.

March to continue developing Crofts to convalesce.

2. £20m and we'd need every penny
