Jeez, I completely forgot that Charlton were a Prem team. So he already has three relegations on his CV then? Number Four looks promising.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Just for fun: If we'd gone up, who would you have liked us to sign?

Most of his appearances are in the Championship. If you think he's anything better than that you're deluded. A good Championship player though

To be fair, Syph doesn't seem too enamoured by his arrival.

What length contract is he on?
2 years. We've either made longterm (3-4yrs) or shortener signings, depending on the player and the likelihood of whether they will stay at the end of the season. Parish said last night that 2/3rds through the window, the philosophy changed to making an excellent Championship side, which can 'have a go' in the Premier League. I think we've achieved that. If or when we are relegated, we can then reevaluate the squad.

Sounds a little defeatist. Does explain the players you've purchased though.
So, the big earners (Chamakh, Puncheon etc) are gone at the end of the year regardless of where you finish?
Quite funny seeing you lot take the piss out of our squad when we've just beat Sunderland 3-1 without the likes of Jimmy Kebe, Jerome Thomas, Adrian Mariappa, Adelene Guediora, Cameron Jerome and Barry Bannan - All of whom I'd say are better quality than some of the 11 who played in that game

And Sunderland have been doing so well.......
Established Premier League club, and games we have to win if we're to have any chance of staying up
What's your excuse with Millwall?

What has established got to do with it? They are one of the favs to go down and you only beat them once they went to 10 man. Silly nigels now thinking they are going to stay up because they have had one win. I doubt I will see you again after the next few defeats.

Don't have any excuse. We didn't win but should have done.
PS - and I don't have a "problem" with you beating Sunderland. I can't stand Paolo di Canio. I think "established" might be a bit strong for Sunderland's premier league Status.
Man Utd away up next, so you wont see me for 3 weeks at least.

Jerome William Thomas[1] (born 23 March 1983) is an English footballer who plays for Crystal Palace predominantly as a left winger, but can also operate centrally
Chamakh is a 1 year, with a further year option if we stay up. Puncheon is a loan (season long), but may but up for a move if we stay up.
I don't see it as defeatist, but rather sensible. You don't want a bunch of players who don't want to drop a division, high wages and being vulnerable to forced sales. I'd rather have the foundations of a team for either league, knowing that we can add the necessary quality in the close season.
The reality is that attracting players to promoted teams is hard. Cardiff spent 30 million on around 3-4 players, who may or may not deliver (they aren't big names at all). Hull too have struggled in my opinion. You either spend a load or try and be a little cleverer. We'll only know whether we have pulled it off at the end of it all, but - in any event - the club should be safeguarded for the future.

What was your excuse last season?
What was your excuse with Birmingham last season?
