A team that I consider to be of similar stature and ambition to Palace have signed:
Krychowiak from PSG
Gibbs from Arsenal
Barry from Everton
Rodriguez from Southampton
Oliver Burke from Leipzig
plus 2 more from Vitesse and an Egyptian side
... for a grand total of £30m

We are but a speck in their rear view mirror.

They also have a wealthy Chinese owner who is probably able to splash large amounts on salaries, which I kind of suspect is the real issue that we have.

WBA fans bitch about Pulis, but nice boring stability is what we could really use. If only Allardyce had stuck around.

I almost started a thread on this yesterday which would've been almost word for word what you wrote. We're nowhere near West Brom in reality really are we

Only two players on that list I would want Gibbs and Rodriguez. Our two loan signings are just as good if we get two or three today we would have had a better transfer window

Yeh agreed, listening to HOL radio everyone was making excuses for the continued awful transfer strategy that we are implementing year after year, except that young lad they have from Thornton Heath. "Other transfers have to happen first" and "you have to wait to get the right deals". No you dont, other clubs around us dont, they get their signings in at a time when they can add value to the first games and not watch us throw away 9 potential points of the 40 we need. There are so, so many things wrong with the way the club is being run, and its getting to be beyond a joke.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

I know some will scoff but Barry still offers a lot in terms of leadership, calmness on the ball, keeping possession. Burke also exciting prospect which would add depth. Too late now in any case...

Nah. 7 points adrift after three games. Look how they have improved through this summer.

Also how quick are they at signing players compared to us. They don't have much speculation then BANG the announcement is out with the player holding the shirt. Not sure why we are so slow all the time. It's starting to frustrate me

I think, if we survive, we should just not show up until after the transfer window. Might actually help. No expectation, no booing, no disappointment, longer lasting suntans after a British Summer and then a late Mediterranean holiday.

Parish gets 7 in then for a reason.

Who's for it?

Starting? Should be used to it by now, sunshine. We are the only team in the entire league that NEVER announces a signing 1 - 2 days after the news breaks in the media. I wonder why......remember our last permanent signing...same thing yet again.

I agree

WBA are an established PL team with a manager who will ensure they stay in the PL.Finished comfortably mid-table last year having finished 14th the season before.
