Qwijibo Bournemouth 02 Feb 18 12.14am
I know it's very hard to gain a proper impression from a YouTube montage, but looking at that video in one of the clips if you look closely he's definitely moving about and in the another he's got wet hair as if he's worked up a sweat, so I think he may bring something to the team that Benteke cannot be bothered to do.

Mr Palaceman 02 Feb 18 12.41am
I think the worst transfer window was the one where we signed the most players under Olly. I think overall, in the Prem our combined transfer windows have been pretty good. My favorite was last January. But for me I really couldn't give a fig about transfers this season, if we get to stay in the league after our record breaking poor start. It's a miracle, we are where we are. As for business sense, a group of fans take over a bankrupt championship side at a time when you couldn't even make money with a top six Premiership club and turn it into one of the richest most stable clubs in the world and the OP talks about business sense.

Just a little perspective here, lads. Every player bought who has no experience of playing EPL or similar standard is a risk. I think the OP may be referring to a transfer system that distorts the market. I think we witnessed desperation from many 'busiless'men during this window. So £8million on a player who has no experience at this level, like Jaro Jach too, is an expensive gamble. If there had been no window and time was not of the essence how much would either have cost? But the attitude of these new signings makes up for their inexperience, which is what makes Vardy such a player and Blunteke not. Edited by adrian b (02 Feb 2018 9.07am)

The guy comes across great in his interview, sounds like he has heeps of passion and ambition to do well at this club, he's young, he doesn't look bad in videos, bloody tall, looks like he has pace and DF has been known to pick up some gems of players that work hard and stick around longer than a heart beat. If he can hit the net.... He is exactly what palace need. Edited by CPFCwetrust (02 Feb 2018 9.55am) Edited by CPFCwetrust (02 Feb 2018 9.56am)
