[Albion] So we spend £20M on a defence that was pretty sound to begin with?

[Nottseagull]

Last night's goals (a week before the season starts):

Murray
Duffy

Same as it ever was

Well, if Glenn's going to be the default penalty taker then I think that virtually guarantees he's going to be top scorer. Also, I don't think it matters how many strikers we had in the box because none of them had a chance with that header from Duffy!

Defence wins titles

I think it's relegation-avoidance that we need to be preparing for

Damn fine powerful header, you could hear the THUMP! halfway up the North when he made contact

Was it pretty sound? Seem to remember conceding a lot of comedy goals towards the back end of last season. It definitely needed strengthening.

That sound defence served us well against Muff, Cardiff and Southampton when they were needed most didn't it?

Last season I moaned more than most about Hughton and his dreadful football. There are now some on here that have taken moaning to a whole new level.

FFS-we have a brand new Head Coach with new ideas and new game plans. He even has a Plan B for crying out loud. A couple of real quality signings so far with the club looking to strengthen up front. If no new goal scorers come in we have a coach who will promote from within What the hell is there to moan about?

Wonder why that is?

well; it's something to do with you, isn't it

 

[rogersix]

Then my work here is done

i think not

you and [MENTION=267]TSB[/MENTION] need to set up a support group for whiny little buggers

 

[Triggaaar]

What should we do with the extra £10M we saved?

That's the logic Mrs T uses when buying shoes

 

[Justice]

You’re forgetting we have Locadia.

30 goals this season NAILED ON.

whatever your on please share.

The "Some of Glenn's [VITAL PL] goals don't count" argument.

Call me old school but when your building a team, don't you build from the back?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Is it moany to point out that we have pretty much **** all in attack other than an ageing Murray? Then put me down as a moany bastid

It is when you do it time and time and time again.

He is right though

the nearer the deadline, the more likely a deal is to be done,
same as every window, that ever there was.

given our slightly extravagant recruitment team, how many man/woman hours remain, would you say?
three in, absolute tops

About 21,000 person hours for our Recruitment team! [emoji6]

I'm honestly fine with the signing. It is however wild to me that for THREE PL seasons we've failed to sign a Murray type striker when we've needed one since the very beginning. Hopefully the last week of the FIFTH window since promotion will spell the end of the drought.

Console yourself in the meantime with the knowledge that Palace have lost their best defender, have their best striker with his head turned and their penalty taker seemingly wanting to leave, and have so far signed Ayew and Henderson.........
