Presumably we are too busy snatching saudi hands off for the £25million for serge. It would be robbery. And on that basis we would do well to take care of our own hands, when dealing with them.
I dunno, I'm not convinced by Palace. Take Eze and Doucoure out of that team and it's very, very ordinary. I don't think they'll be in trouble but I don't think they're any better than us.
Andersen is solid but nothing special, Guehi and Olise might be but have some distance to go, Schlupp is a jack of all trades but not all that good at any of them, Lerma is irritating and streaky, Ayew is a diving turd, Edouard has yet to show he can produce at this level.
My point stands. Take Eze and Doucoure away and they're not troubling anyone.
Brings to mind a business trip to Riyadh years ago. We were in the hotel on Friday morning musing what to do with our day off, the staff had nothing positive to suggest but did advise that if we were going out we might want to avoid the central square as there was a beheading taking place.
Well Liverpool want Doucouré so you can add him to the list too. Palace have plenty of Dougie Freedman recruited players that I would bite their hands off if they were recruited for Forest.
Important part of their promotion, but there's a reason he left on a free - Bournemouth didn't think he was worth the money he wanted, and they had good first hand knowledge of his value.
