Well worth a punt - I was also unsure about Mutch. However, both of these are good squad players and could become first teamers? With Mutch he looked out of place when playing behind the main forward. Thought he looked promising when playing central midfield. Caulker could become a great central pairing with Dann. I'm sure Delaney starts before him for at least one more season. We shall see? At least its competition and a much better replacement than Mariappa. And Kelly is not a centre half in case anyone mentions it ;-)

If we can get his head right off the pitch, then he can still be a hell of a player.

QPR must love us though. 'Who do we need off the books, oh yeah him, let's give Palace a call'

Has been an abject failure everywhere he's been last 3 years. On the odd occasion he has played a game for Soton, Liverpool and QPR he's looked out of position and responsible for goals going in. Not impressed at all

Better than Marriappa and Hangaland? Will the £6.5 be all upfront or based on appearances etc?

We don't seem to have any expertise in getting players' heads right or even improving them under the current management team so that's a big nono from me.

If we want a centre half who's head isn't right let's get Darcy Blake back again and save a load of money in the process

No, if he was that good we couldn't afford him anyway,6.5 mill he ain't worth half of that.
