what a load of tosh, it wasn't 'another one missed' as you make it out to be

PALACE TILL I DIE!!!

A month ago he was supposedly having a medical with us prior to a £13m transfer yet Stoke have managed to nab him for £6m less.

Doesn't this imply that we were never really interested

As little as that?

Do we really need yet another defensive midfielder?
We are chokka already.

What we do need is an attacking midfielder. By that I mean someone with the skill to bring the ball forward to give time for front runners to find space.
The existing 'one touch' and 'pass and run' styles always seem to break down. We don't have the skilful players to play this way - Puncheon is an obvious case in point- he has vision but not the ability to use it.

At the moment our hope of goals is still crosses and corners plus the occasional devastating dribble by Zaha. I think it won't belong before someone comes in with an offer we can't refuse for him.
