I wondered if he could play in that wide forward role alongside Zaha and Benteke , definitely has the technical abilities to play well in a possession team, dropping into areas creating space. The thing that let's him down is his lack of strength.

Could Chungy thrive or would be best to cash in.

Chungy could have Zidane, Ferguson, Mourinho or Guardiola coaching him and he'd still be disappointing.

Cash in, if we can convince any mug to fork out the reddies.

Hopefully Frank will give him a chance to show what he can do.

Always thought he's got more to offer than any of our managers have so far utilised. Think he could be a decent player. We'd get virtually nothing for him at the moment anyway. I'd say unless frank has already reviewed him and doesn't fancy him, then for sure keep and who knows.

I worry about depth and if Zaha were to get injured we may very well need him. I thought we'd see Kaikai and Boateng in Hong Kong, but I haven't even seen their names lately. Given the constant fouling on Wilf, I worry it will catch up to him. Lee may be our only option after some bad luck.

He gets knocked around very easily like you said, which makes Sako a nice option even though he struggles with possession, at least he's big and strong.

I think that's it, both have different attributes. In an ideal world you'd combine the two. Sako powerful shot and upper body strength but Chungy creativeness and flair.

Combine them into... The world's most average player

He could be a trump card for us. Never given much of a chance to show his ball control and movement skills.
We need someone to feed Benteke and not relying solely on crosses for him.
Townsend is still a disappointment as a winger and we will be relying on free kicks from fouls on Zaha more than we should.
Creative midfield is the key plus the addition of an old fashioned Gayle type inside forward to pair with Benteke. All too often, as seen in the Asia Cup games, he was ploughing a lone furrow with few efforts on goal.

I think that wide Forward role is earmarked for Andros .
We signed him injured and I never really New why we did,but he has contributed with that cracker of a goal at Stoke.
Plus the cross for Christian at Sunderland.
Probably will see out the remaining year of his contract.
So no I do not think he will thrive under Frank.

Nope. One of the worst players i've ever seen put on a Palace shirt.

He's a decent enough player but like Gayle, doesn't really fit our club. He has ability and a technical side to his game but as others have said, not enough strength to hold down a starting place. I think he is a decent enough squad player and TBH would be ahead of Williams in the pecking order for me but we really need players who are pushing the 1st 11 to be on our bench and he doesn't.

You never know though, the new system may suit him better and we may be surprised, I would like to see some of our fringe players thrive so our spend on them is justified after all.

Then you haven't seen much of Palace.

Those days have gone Uphill Wright/Bright or Murray/Gayle or Benteke/Gayle.

343 or 433 does not cater for two up top.

Remember 2 3 5 ?
