Originally posted by braunstoneagle what we really need to do is sign joel ward to a new 3 year contract Yeah, reward averageness. Palace needs something better than Joel Ward. He's been stable this year, but stable average that is. If that's the type of performance you feel is right (a right back with really nothing standing out for him, unlike Yedlin of Newcastle or Schelotto of Brighton or Smith of Bournemouth or Coleman of Everton) then the team will never improve from fighting relegation to getting into the top 10. I get what you mean, he's been a starter this season, but sometimes you need to take tough decisions and really set standards high.

Averageness in the Premier League would see us to mid table - I would take that. I think the problem is the use them up, wear them out mentality that is growing. Surely the right thing would be to sign Joel Ward to a three year deal (as previously stated), and then sign someone who we think can take the club forward. That way we get some continuity and also some progression. I mean, haven’t we already seen the problem with signing someone to take us forward whilst getting rid of the supposedly average players up front? We end up with no depth and our average players are showing elsewhere that they could have done an average job for us too.

I think that ward is a below average top flight right back, but seeing how much we paid for 2 below average left backs , we need to keep him. As we wouldn’t be paying a ‘buying fee’, maybe he will get a few quid to sign a new contract. Then we need to look for someone better, so ward can be a decent squad player. Got loads of players ( most of them) that are a bit below par for where we want to be, but we can’t ‘out’ them all , as it’s about 10 million nowdays to get a bang average player. I’d keep ward, jimmy Mac etc, then slowly try and move them out the starting eleven , when/if we get better players Edited by Casual (04 Mar 2018 5.48pm)

I mean, haven’t we already seen the problem with signing someone to take us forward whilst getting rid of the supposedly average players up front? We end up with no depth Well, if you're going to get someone with higher quality in, why keep Ward around as backup? Why not give that squad spot to Wan Bissaka? He's at that age when you need to let hm into the squad or let him go. In almost all lines of thought, it makes sense to keep Wan Bissaka over Ward: 1. Ward has been average. You can pretty much think Wan Bissaka can be at least at the same level of average after his performance against Tottenham. Strong player (stronger than Ward), keeps the line well, can't really pass him. 2. You never know how well he might develop, he may have a wonderful season and you get a 20 year old player with a 20-30 million value. Which, in Ward's case, at his age, cannot happen. 3. His salary is lower that Ward's, that's an economy right there. 2-3 million which don't seem much but may be usedto get a player in somewhere else. The only thing I can think of that Ward may have over Wan Bissaka is stability. You can be sure that he's not going to make 5-6 big mistakes in a season, while Wan Bissaka may do a "Marcelo" or "van Aanholt"- good on the offensive, but shaky defensively. Though, from what I've seen against Tottenham, he sits back and doesn't adventure high up. It could be a minor risk of him making a mistake now and then (though for a team like Palace even 1 point in an entire season matters), but overall, it still would be more advantageous to keep Wan Bissaka, especially if another starting right back comes in.

You are looking to gamble a lot on 75 minutes of ok football that you saw against spurs, as the first 15 minutes Wan Bissaka was poor. Think we need 2 decent players in each position , plus 3 others , I’m assuming Wan Bissaka doesn’t need to be named in the 25.

The difference is that you think we should get rid of Ward and get someone of higher quality; I think we should keep him and get someone who will develop into higher quality. I think that we are in the position we are in because Pardew got rid of our average players, and bought marquee signings. We need to learn from this and have a succession plan. So keep Ward as cover, give Wan Bissaka 5 or 6 games next season and a chance to develop, and buy someone else who has the potential to take us forward. You say potarto, I say potayto. PS. Does Wan BIssaka need a squad place? I thought he was still young enough not to need one. Edited by dp (04 Mar 2018 6.44pm)
