So we are buying him to warm the bench??
Even for a layman like me I didn’t think you tactically bring on a centre half to replace a centre half when its 20 mins to go.
Why have we done this when we need a right back and a striker far more than this.
Totally bewildered and underwhelming

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Amazed at the amount of negative reactions to this.

Yes he’s 33, reportedly on big money and we’d have preferred a younger signing with potential/future resale value however we desperately need another centre half and he’s got proven experience not just at this level but at the top end of it (winning trophies along the way).

Not ideal for sure but definitely not a bad signing, quite the opposite

We're not reacting negatively to Cahill, he's a fine player. It's spunking 75k a week for two years on a backup CB when we have no money and are desperate for a right back and a striker. It's the total lack of a long term plan.

I thought he had played right back for Chelsea so maybe a temp there if tomkins is back.

glad to see us signing a young up and coming player with a sell on value
