Think there is some truth in this, and think the club think the same so I'm not sure it's a bad thing.

Agree with the comparison to Frazier Campbell. Said it earlier or in another thread. We have never really replaced Campbell and I'm certain Parrish has said in the past how much he thought of Campbell and his influence on and off the pitch which fans never saw.

You do know they got relegated don't you? Usually means most of the team weren't up to the task. Ayew always looked useful when I saw him and would be a good squad player IMO

Is the right answer

Spiderman, let the grown ups do the talking! Just joking

I like this signing if true, he fits everything that was right with Palace last season. Our best football was played where players up top could drift across the front 3, the opposition couldn't handle us especially at home. With Benteke up top, it leaves us static and one dimensional, whipping the ball into the box in the hope it lands on his head which is easier to defend against. With Ayew we get more mobility, more pace, more running with the ball down the centre to add to what we already have on the wings with Zaha and Townsend.

Now there is a tired phrase from the 80's!

I was more pointing put that you were factually incorrect re minutes played and that we hardly had any prolific forward players last season. As I understood it, Hodgson was after a front player ho could play a variety of positions. TBH, I'd rather have Antonio
