Out of interest to the Palace fans on here, what is going on with your keepers? Last season you had that Nico Vaesen on loan from Birmingham, was that because you did not replace Clarke and Kolinko or were the ones at the club that bad? Vaeson has always seemed a decent keeper, who is not playing for the Blues, so why did you not sign him? It seems this year Dowie has gone and bought the first player that resembled a keeper without looking to see if they were any good.

We had Cedric Berthelin who hadn`t had much first team football and Lance cronin who is only a youngster with no experience in the first team.
I am dissapointed with our lack of goalkeeping choices at present but i think Dundee have sold us Speroni to get him of their books.
Time will tell. We did not sign Vassen because he was happy to fight for his place at brum and did not want to up sticks.

It does seem that you have been stitched up with Speroni, but surely there must have been better keepers out there.
If so maybe we might still find him. I would quite liked to have seen Martyn come back for a while but seems to be doing fine at Everton.

So if Martyn is playing why did he not try and get somebody like Richard Wright on loan, as he needs games.

It seems a bit odd that you have not owned an established keeper for a couple of seasons now.

Might as well have got Taylor again from Arsenal.

Or Graham Stack. Or Lenny Pidgeley.

we've got Kiraly, hes quality. international and UEFA cup experience. plus played about 6 seasons or more in the Bundesliga with Hertha Berlin. Kiraly made such a difference against Villa and the defence were confident in him. i think Speroni is a fantastic shot stopper but lack confidence and needs to work on his catching.

he didnt want to join palace did he, if he did he would be there :salute:
So you`re saying Zamora went to spurs because he didn`t like playing for Brighton.
The game is all about what`s best for you not what team you play for them days are well and truely over.
Christ almighty.

I admit it used to a strong place on the field for us.
But you`re correct it has been a problem.

thats not the same thing zamora wanted to go to spurs
Couldn`t blame him. So what`s different Vassen wanted to stay at Brum.
What you getting at i said it`s what`s best for the playing argument over.

Vaesen wanted 1st team football with Palace but his family had settled in Birmingham and didnt want to move to London permanantly which is the reason he stayed at Birmingham.
