We're not in debt.

FdB has no experience of the PL, unlike Allardyce, so any "confidence" in his ability to "find more points" is guess worked based on nothing tangible whatsoever. We cannot rely on a procession of untested U23s to gain us enough points to keep us in the PL. We've had plenty of players who've "worked their socks off"; that is not, and never has been, a guarantee of success on the pitch.

If de Boer has got us in the cack by Chrismas we won't be able to rely on him get us out of the drop zone in the second half of the season. If we struggle against Huddersfield that will be sufficient for a distant alarm bell to start sounding.

If a team stands still in the PL, it goes backwards. In our fifth season we should be looking to improve our squad. What will cost us "millions and millions and millions" is if we were to be relegated. After this long in the PL, and even with the squad we have, it shouldn't be a "bumpy ride"; if it is it will be one of FdB's own making.

Ignore Bexley dave unless you have a collection of half full glasses you want half emptying, is my advice.

It was a joke, as for some strange reason he made a quip at another poster questioning how he'd be supporting Palace from his home in hungry. Might have taken it the wrong way but it very much sounded as if he was invalidating the guys support for the eagles based on his nationality/ location.

Was a very odd post.

I'd like to see

Aréola- psg - 16m

Now the Neymar deals done there will be a nock on effect down the line. Should have completed the deals we could do already, now it's a different ball game.
