My dear wife asked me the other day where we were placed in the table.I informed her that I could not provide her with an answer and that all that concerns me is the number of additional points required to secure another season in the PL. I believe you are advocating that this is the mindset of those in the corridors of power at the club. Someone pointed out that the difference between mid table clubs and just below top 6 in spending is enormous with no guarantee of success. Clubs like Everton have spent a fortune and so far have not established themselves in that group. As a business I can understand why Mike Ashley and our board are reluctant to go all in when the chances of success both financial and on the pitch are outweighed by the spending risk. It sounds like I am not ambitious well of course I want Palace success but caution is the watch word. We need to do better in the transfer market avoiding big money signings, reduce the playing age and we need to improve our academy.

I believe I heard last night that Everton have spent half a billion since Moshiri has been at the helm.

Pretty Sure that was how much Liverpool had spent since Klopps arrival, only Chelski and Money City had spent similar sums in a similar time frame.

I thought the title of this thread is 'Jordan Ayew' ?? Back to it then: Doubt if he will ever be a prolific scorer but then until we get a creative midfield sorted nobody else will be either, so this clamour for a new striker will be a waste of money.

This might help In the last 5 years Everton have spent £225m which is still a lot. We have spent £75m the average seems around £150m Brighton have spent £206m I assume these are net figures.

he's F365 'Early Winner': including the following summing up of his abilities: "But he’s really a bits and pieces attacker. Not even a real centre-forward at all, actually, more just a broadly encouraging set of attributes which, in various doses, can be depended on to do Good Things in Attacking Areas."

He had a 25min spell on the right when Benteke came on, could he be the replacement for Wilf with a better striker, Bats or similar in the middle.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Jordan Ayew' by Midlands Eagle Sorry but I feel Ayew deserves a thread of his own. The guy works his socks off whatever position we play him in. I really like this guy and feel we got a bargain at £4m. Just to think we bought Benteke for EIGHT times what we got Ayew for is embarrassing. Love this guy!

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Jordan Ayew' by Midlands Eagle I thought Ayew was below par today, seemed fatigued. Had the odd moment where he beat an opponent, but overall I'd say he was below par like everyone else.. Well until the 80th min when everyone suddenly realised they were in a Derby match
