Originally posted by ParchmoreEagle Palace looking good with Riewald deal through. I'm looking forward to this season. This is definitely a move upwards for Palace. I can see us being around tenth on the table with a vibrant academy that will attract some gifted youths. FDB looks the goods and I am very impressed with his leadership. I like what he said about complimenting Zaha on not being drawn in to the constant fouls - very clever and great use of positive psychology. Yep I agree and noticed that too. Having someone with the pedigree of FDB saying those things will definitely help. Perhaps even Shearer will listen! I am very excited by what I've seen of the academy, especially Wan-Bissaka, FDB has given them hope which will spur them on. There are some great players out there for reasonable prices, you just need to know where to look. Jairo appears to be a clever buy as he is cover for Luka. The jury is out until we see him play of course. Bring on the next Dutch wonderkid. Parrot Mr Cadbury's Parrot says "Hello"

I like what he said about complimenting Zaha on not being drawn in to the constant fouls - very clever and great use of positive psychology. I think he's gonna turn out to be a class act for the club. He can see we need better players in some areas but also wants to bring youth through where possible. Get the back rock solid and he'll have more freedom promoting youth. When he was first announced I said it would transform our academy a we'd become a beacon for other players as they'd see Palace as a place where you can break through. Can't remember who and don't really care, but someone tried to explain it'd be ten years before our academy produces anyone. I'll be surprised if it's more than 10 weeks before an academy player gets some minutes in a league game.

Edited by CPFC/SCCC (07 Aug 2017 7.26pm) there was a rumour about Kevin Diks and St Juste but I think we missed them both. Still happy with Riedewald though. Not sure about Drommel, he's not first choice keeper. I think Bergwijn is one to watch as Chelski wanted him Parrot Mr Cadbury's Parrot says "Hello"
