Originally posted by bexleydave I sincerely hope that we won't be doing that because new players miss the whole pre-season. By doing this, we put ourselves at a disadvantage when the season starts, as we have done in the past. absolutely agree, we have to have an improved defensive set-up for the first game against Huddersfield, this is a six pointer game and one we must win, if do not improve the squad before then I can only see us struggling with the existing back line.

I agree Den. There's points to be picked up from at least three, maybe four, of those early games, which we can't afford to chuck away. Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing?

Predicted 11- (with no signings against Huddersfield) Hennessy, ward,dann,Tomkins,schlupp,Cabaye,puncheon, Luka, Zaha,Townsend and Benteke. The actual 11 that played against wba last season Hennessy, ward, Delaney,Dann ,soaure,jedinak,puncheon , Townsend, chungy , Zaha and wickham. In terms of comparing the two, these a vast improvement, unfortunately for us we seem to be players plan b options and have to wait, until the last 2 weeks of the window. Which is frustrating but I think we should trust Steve parish, wether by luck or judgment. He hasn't overseen a relegation as chairman. It does seem to take time by the right outcome, has come to most of the times. Another Damien Diagonal - Total Football

As an absolute minimum we need to have replaced Sakho in plenty of time before the season starts. Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

What I'm trying to point out. I'm as frustrated as anyone regards to our transfer activity but if that team I named started against Huddersfield. I don't see a massive problem. Yes in an ideal world, we'd love all our transfer activity done and preaseason under their belts but it never happens and doubt it ever will. We haven't got the money that Man City have got to blow teams out the water. I guess we just have to be patient. I'm sure Steve and frank knows where to strengthen and as fans we have to trust them.

I think FDB's home contacts will help us. My guess he reckons he can spend the £30m Sakho would have cost to buy at least two quality defenders for the same money, or less. The right place at the right time

My guess he reckons he can spend the £30m Sakho would have cost to buy at least two quality defenders for the same money, or less. We have come a long, long way in the last 3 years, but I dont think we are quite ready to spend 30 million quid on a defender. Parish is not mentally ready to do that. I happen to think thats a mistake, there is a real sense of energy about Sakho at the club. Signing Sakho would be a massive, massive boost to the whole side. His signing would actually be greater than the sum of its parts, so its absolutely worth it. FDB may just not think Sakho is the be all and end all though. And I agree that we cannot have the usual dithering from the chairman here, lets get the new players in asap. Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Den it's simply worth 3 points. Rather than continually worrying about more signings,we need Frank to get the starting 11 to play exactly as they did in our winning spell with Sam. If he can do that we will be fine. Palace 13th 2017/18.

Hi Alan, of course it is only true mathematically three points on the day but as I suspect Huddersfield will be one of those teams around us this season it will be one of those theoretical six pointers that if we win will be so important come next April. What concerns me is that the current defence (Tomkins if he is fit excepted) look absolutely hapless without Sakho and Tomkins playing, so we will definitely need to address this with better defensive players who can distribute as well as defend. Our record at the end of last season without these key players was abysmal, just look how Man City & Utd (Youngsters) made us look very ordinary as did Burnley. FdB can be the best manager in the world but without the right tools he will not be able to do the job.

Their fans must be frantic that they will crash and burn in the UCL leading to low morale and a relegation struggle in the EPL. If only they had splashed the cash and got Neymar, as all their fans were urging them to do. Edited by RRA77 (02 Aug 2017 11.33pm)
