I am beginning to believe that Dougie Freedman has a totally misplaced belief in our Medical department. Not to worry if new arrivals are injury-prone, our team will soon sort it out. Conor Wickham, Nathan Ferguson and now Dean Henderson - it defies logic. If a keeper making his debut is crocked just by kicking the ball after 18 minutes and we have paid £15 million for him it defies common sense - especially when our crying need is for a striker and a ball holding midfield 'general' The Manager has said (and we all know) our squad is light so why have we bought a totally unnecessary keeper? Answers on the back of a fag packet please.

Henderson isnt £20m better than Johnstone. To throw away that kind of money when the squad is crying out for reinforcements pretty much in every position is insane. We do have a track record of shooting ourselves in the foot with injured players and chancing having one player in a position. See Parish (Paraphrase slightly) the sun not coming up then a week later Benteke gimping himself. Palace are so self destructive at times. The mountains are calling & I must go.

I’m not criticising the signing of Franca based on his injury history.But signing a player that comes pre injured with our budget and small squad seems a luxury we cannot afford. However signing somebody who was injured for 4 months at the end of last season and then within 20 mins of his very first game is injured again…. calling them a crock/turkey seems very realistic……or maybe sicknote is more apt ? There is clearly something wrong with him physically…however.giving him some more extended time on the treatment table is the only option.

Am I the only one who doesn't particularly care how Henderson feels? I just care about the club and didn't think it was a worthwhile signing. I found it particularly galling that his replacement at Utd was 4-5 mil and a Turkish international. Also that de Gea was available on a free and looking for a club. We could have even treated Guaita better and talked him round into staying for one season. To sum up: our transfer business was f*ing s*. It was like going to the shop when you wanted to make lasagne and buying an orange, some peanut butter and a pair of flip flops. Red and Blue Army!

I'm still holding out hope that Franca isn't Ferguson 2.0. Henderson is clearly a crock though. Baffling signing, and completely not surprising that he blew out his leg again. We'll be out of all cup competitions by the time he's fit again, if he's even able to return this season. No idea what our players do for stretching and fitness, but whatever it is, they should immediately stop and do something else. 2017 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Middlesboro 2018 Jan.
