You would prefer not to give Roy a new contract or you don't think he's worth 4 million, if indeed that is the figure?

In my opinion if we hadn't got him and Ray we would very likely be in Championship now

No need to replace AWB, we have Joel Ward and Kelly for cover. We need the AWB transfer fees to pay the wages of Benteke, Sakho, Meyer, Wickham and Wilf. & £4m for Roy's new contract next year for his deftness in the transfer market, cultivation of youth and in-game tactical know-how. Enjoy it while you can, like the good folks did at Stoke, and don't upset the apple cart - not welcome.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

There was a stat that popped up earlier in the season which had PVA as the PLs highest scoring defender over the past 2 years (11 goals). This is invaluable to a team like palace, his pace and willingness to drive forward is also key to how we play. If Jairo continues to improve then we'll have a tricky decision to make as to who plays LB, IMO we're almost at the point that they both need to be in the team. Sure both are a little susceptible positioning wise, but that comes with having a more offensive mindset. And, people state Roy is too ridged and defensive; imagine if we had a Martin Kelly / Wardy type at LB who possibly made less mistakes than PVA / Jairo but didnt drive us forward? Im happy with PVA and hope he stays.

1/6/2010.a new era.we made it everyone!!!lets get the ball rolling for another 105 years of proud history.thank you cpfc2010.

palace forever.eeaaaaaaaaaaaaaggglless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a little surprised at the strength of feeling against a simple question. I'm not in any way suggesting that PvA oughtto be sold.

As to whether or not the idea is nonsense and completely illogical, well consider this:
1. Roy stated that he remembers telling Jairo that he was capable of playing LB. It is possible that Roy sees him as a future replacement for PvA
2. Jairo with his MOTM and POTM performances has clearly impressed Palace fans in the LB position. He has imo shown better defensive qualities than PvA (who has been known to go AWOL on more than one occasion). Jairo clearly hasn't got PvA's attacking flair but he does have a promising free kick and is a sharp passer of the ball.
3. Ferguson can be back-up for both LB and RB as you have acknowledged.
4. Fans question the willingness of the club owners to fund transfers out of their own pockets so it's not unreasonable to assume that they might want to sell someone to raise funds for who they want to bring in, especially as there seems to be a move to bringing in young players in this window.
5. We do not know how PvA reacted to the rumour that PSV might be after him. What if, nearing 30, he fancies a return to The Netherlands to see out his career, and to a club he briefly played for in his youth. Bear in mind also that with young children he may want to raise/school them in the Netherlands, especially now that Brexit is happening and the growing negative attitude to "foreigners" in this country.
6. Once he's fit again, Schlupp is also capable of playing at LB if needed.

Having said all that I'm glad Roy has given the exit rumour short shrift in today's briefing, but I would maintain that the idea of letting him go with the arrival of Ferguson is neither nonsense nor illogical.

ditto, when our left back scores more goals than our 30 mill striker...

a rich man is only a poor man with an obscene amount of money
