Maybe that was one or two at least leaving ?

I should steer clear from here then if you got neighbours.

I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not.

Again, totally get your point of view. I guess my optimism comes from the fact i'm still aiming high but prepared to accept it might take more time than at other clubs, so we're looking at things in similar ways but over different time lines.

As another poster said earlier, i'd still rather be where Palace are in our progression rather than roll the dice like Everton did and they are now fighting for their lives, trying desperately to stay within FFP by picking up free players and those who may be past their best.

Most teams who have built new stands/stadiums have been relegated while trying to do so or had dips in form because they can't support both the playing side and stadium developments simultaneously. We seem to be trying to walk the tightrope, i hope we really do start that stand redevelopment at the end of the season and finally move to a position where our revenues mean we can compete at the next level up.

You don’t have very lofty ambitions do you? For some, playing for your local team or a team you have always supported means a lot more than just looking at teams like Palace as a stepping stone, or be constantly searching for an opportunity to go and bench warm at a top 6 club and let’s face it, how many of our players in the last 10 seasons have gone on to be playing a starring role at their new top 6 club.

Undermining the relevance of a mid table club especially when it’s your own is not a positive outlook. I want us to slowly build our team into one that is comfortably mid table and challenging for the lower European spots. I don’t believe that is dreaming, because pre season and before it looked like both Zaha and Olise were leaving I reckon we were only 3 players away from being in a position to do so.

I am concerned that the club doesn’t appear (from its transfer dealings) to have the same ambition.

So apparently Dazza was not far wrong. Hall signed a pre-contract with Palace but Chelsea insisted he sin a new contract first. This he did, they then pulled the plug on the loan and have put him up for transfer for £30m Absolute scumbag club who youngsters should steer clear of
