PatrickA Flag London 27 Aug 23 9.45am Send a Private Message to PatrickA Add PatrickA as a friend

To my mind it’s a toss up between a goalkeeper and a goalscorer as to the most important position in the team.
One keeps them out the other puts them in , which after all is the aim of the game.
I take a view that Leicester largely went down last season by persisting for so long with Ward in goal, who patently wasn’t good enough.
The uncertainty that spread across the Leicester defence was palpable.
It would be foolhardy to go in for the rest of the season with Matthews as the reserve keeper.
We need two good keepers at the club who can both play in the first team if required if one or other is unavailable or out of form.
Henderson is in his mid twenties and could have a really good career with Palace if you look longer term and I think if we do get him it could be part of a longer term strategy.
It doesn’t mean we don’t need to strengthen in other positions but , as previously stated, goalkeeper is an absolutely a crucial position where you don’t want to be taking risks.

I think Henderson is a top draw GK and is an upgrade on SJ (a very good GK) but IF he is homesick for the Midlands then it’s good that the club are considerate around this imo.

For the last 3 seasons we have been a decent right back (not Wardy - great Palace lad but not a starter in EPL for me) and (most importantly) good striker away from being a really decent side. Recent performances have really consolidated this imo.
We are crying out for a strong striker who can actually hold the ball up and bring others into play like an Antonio or Awoniyi.

SP and DF must see this……..hopefully we’ll get the striker we need.

Oh ok... So we're in a position where we can spend £20m on a back up keeper.. Sure that makes sense. We have more than one keeper by the way.

Yes, Goalkeeper is the most important position in the team, and if Guaita and Jonhstone are unhappy, one has to stay until January, if either is not replaced, i wouldn't want Guaita to play anymore. his attitude stinks.

I'm not holding out hope but I'd find it very bizarre if our last bit of business would be a back-up GK.

We desperately need a winger if not a couple, full backs and the perennial striker problem - Che Adams was being touted for less dosh. If there was no money there, why spend an amount like that on a keeper and call it a day?

Hopefully we'll have more answers come deadline day.

It's the amount of money compared to the perceived talent level.

If this is a quality keeper I have no issues with the spend.

I don't want big money spent on average players just to bulk out the squad as we have enough to adapt to positions.

It's not ideal but ultimately I agree with the Bobby Robson concept of putting the most talented players you can out there rather than obsess over whether he's a full back or a Centre half.....the talented can adapt to an extent.

True but a few years ago when I was moderating on this site I made quite a few enemies here by sticking up for dazza's right to post and even yellow carding one or two that ignored my requests to stop insulting him which some have never forgiven me for.

Now that I no longer moderate I am free to post my personal opinion that he is a fraud and hasn't told us anything that isn't already in the public domain

Dazza seems happy to think he is ITK, if people assume he is a fraud, its easier to ignore, than insult.

The groupies who mostly claim to not have access to the internet other than HOL can no longer stake this claim as all stories are now mostly in the transfer talk and link/sources are presented. They relied upon the old saying - ignorance is bliss. The Dazza species is now extinct as far as I can tell. He’s been exposed more times than Neil shipperley. It’s a poor showing to the HOL as far as I’m concerned that a thread has been specifically created to facilitate this unhelpful nonsense.

And for the groupies - take some of your own advice and ignore!

Ludicrous comments about Hendersen, i can just imagine the slagging off SP and DF would have got if Jonhstone got injured, if we dont buy any outfield player we will still be mid table, we have Olise and Franca to look forward too, of course we would like more, but in the end if there isn't anyone available that fits the criteria, then so be it, i will be more than happy with Lerma, Franca and Hendersen, and nobody else leaving.

100% Correct. We are about to sign one of the best keepers in the country who is a major step up on SJ and people are moaning. I’ve no words to describe the carry on by some.
