At last, Pards admits that we should have given ourselves more cover for the left back position in the August window, despite the unfortunate circumstances regarding Pape Souare's injuries. He has made signing a left back a priority in January, as well as another forward

"It is an issue we could possibly have covered ourselves a bit better, and we have found ourselves short in that position" No s*** Sherlock! "Some people need strikers and we have lost Connor [Wickham] and we might need to look in that area as well." MIGHT! I'd say we definitely do.

I think Pardew goes to SP with a shopping list and SP does what he can / feels best for the club. That's why AP is saying what he is now. Also why kids have been on the bench lately, emphasising how thin the squad is Just my opinion

Palace must bring in an experienced Left Back on January 1st not the 31st. He can then play straight away,and feature in the games. This will then sort us out as Pardew says. If we do not get one he needs to bite the bullet and play Fryers there. Ideally we then need a Striker to cover for Benteke. Looks like Remy will not work out remember NICOLA VENTOLA.?

I was told Santon was a definite target in the summer by someone within the general scouting network. He was another one wanting a 'bigger club'.

Purely from comments made over the last few windows by both AP & SP. As I say just my opinion, not a criticism.

..kelly and Fryers are well good enough for us to compete with the teams similar to us, we are a gamble club..we buy players that may or may not do it and can sometimes take time to fit in, we cannot afford a Benteke to cover all the areas that need filling, in his last game Kelly actually looked very sound and competent.

Also why kids have been on the bench lately, emphasising how thin the squad is Just my opinion They have stated that AP tells SP which positions need strengthening. SP goes over the list of targets the scouts have identified and asks AP which he'd prefer. SP then goes after those players. SP also said that if there is a gap in the squad, he has bought in players himself for the manager. E.g. Sako was a last minute deal, and I think he said CYL was too (but I am not certain of the last one).
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

He missed the whole of the season before the new year due to a broken bone in his foot. I'm not sure about the rest of the season, but for obvious reasons, Johnson was preferred anyway.
