The Palace Fan

This is the type of signing I would be excited about with any other manager. Unfortunately under Roy we've had too many promising overseas players join, get integrated at a snails pace and never recover.

So Vince McMahon. Where do we start?

I think we'd be a good move for him. Over two seasons I reckon he'll transition in to a very good box to box midfielder for us. He's got the raw attributes to do so and we're in a position to offer him a lot of first team exposure. There's no way in our current position we'd accept a loan back though.

Just a standard day at UEFA.

So this week POF were talking about the latest story that we've tasked the Raine Group to find funding for the cost of the inflation of the new stand (£45m). Kevin said the original story he had heard was the Raine Group were potentially looking for buyers. He pointed out its a little odd we're raising 45m when Harris and Blitzer are minted. Maguire agreed and questioned why the Raine group would get involved for 45m when they charged United 31m for there services. Maguire indicated it could be a smokescreen and that Palace 'are more up for sale' than other Premier League clubs. They both think its iffy and thinks there's more than meets the eye.

WWE on Netflix from next year is pretty big.

I think he's the one that ticks the most boxes that Steve Parish will look for in a new manager that's realistic. I think his promotion with Luton will put him ahead of Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick in the preference order, and Luton's performance against us at Kenilworth Road was very reminiscent of what we were like in our first two seasons at this level. Personally I don't think Graham Potter is realistic. He didn't want the job in the summer and nothing we have done since would make him think that we're capable of financially backing him to achieve what he'd want with the better players in our squad.

Not the best source by a long shot but nothing with Maranakis surprises me.

Well no shit .

If we wanted Cooper he would already be manager.

He was supposedly really good last season. That said im not sure if he'll get the opportunities at Forest given how Elanga has handled himself so far.

If Chelsea bring in a striker, it wouldnt surprise me if West Ham get Broja and we get Danny Ings on loan.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/23/roy-hodgson-on-thin-ice-after-discussions-with-palace-chairman I imagine Parish's ideal scenario is he lands 2 or 3 players Roy will be happy to integrate quickly and Rob Edwards becomes available in the summer.

Yeah, Olise definitely has the higher ceiling. Even more so when you factor in the age difference.

Rio-Choker was brilliant. People legitimately hated him for ages and then started appreciating the creativity.

"He has drawn comparisons to City’s prolific senior striker Erling Haaland for their visual resemblance and has recorded impressive goal and assist statistics for their age-group teams." So no pressure.
