Not sure about that, they are atrocious in the air together and corners against are virtually worth a goal to the opposition. Burnley Away and West Ham at home being just two examples where we looked like conceding every time.

I agree, Cannon and Gilbert were far superior actually defending, Guehi and Andersen are better with the ball at their feet, but for actually keeping the ball out of the net, big Jim and Sir Billy all day long. Also Guehi and Andersen couldn’t match Billy Gilbert for pace, he had an incredible turn of pace for a central defender

Old Herman Munster? We could sign Gomez Adams as well with Joe and Che.

The latest news is that there is no news!
We can hold our own if Wilf signs a new deal but some refreshing would be good.
I am sort of resigned to nothing happening, bar Wilf continuing to wear red and blue - which I would welcome by the way.
We are stony broke sadly and shopping at Poundland me thinks.
I hope to be proved wrong - as always!

Are there any Forum members who could take a reasonable detailed
guess of Palace`s turnover for the last season ?

My own guess is that the turnover/ salary ratio would be about
90%

Sky Sports reporting that we have enquired about Demarai Gray.

Here you go. Too much for me to take in but someone will understand it all.

Hard to believe Cline is on 80k per week and Jairo on 55k per week .

Sad to see either depart, but recognise the economics. Best centre half pairing we’ve ever had. Bear in mind the full backs either side. Nearest challenge to this statement from another supporter was Cannon and Gilbert.

While only together for a short time (half a season) and played a division below I'd say Popovic and Vicars were like a brick wall to opposition attacking players.

Demarai Gray and Jordan Ayew.

A bundle of laughs.

Imagine their passing interplay though:

"To me...to you...to me..."

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Thorn and Young. Third place in the top flight, ZDS cup winners.

I also thought Coleman and Shaw were very good. Played in a poor Palace side but did well and both went on to have good careers.

As others have said, depends what you are looking for in a pair of defenders. The current two are certainly the best footballing centre backs I can recall at Palace, but they aren't very good at the day job. They are hugely vulnerable under a high ball or a cross, lose markers a lot and get bullied.

Personally, I doubt that we gain as much from their passing as we lose due to their defending.

Would be pretty good in the Championship.
