Summer Transfer Window 2019

Mate @TheFinnFan lives in an igloo in the Arctic, and his source is a dead seal he'd previously clubbed to death.
No offence FinnFann.

I actually thing this site should reward me somehow

Richarlison - Kean - Neres

No room for Bernard?

For what exactly?

I think with the right personnel around him Richarlison can still be a boss ST.

Richarlison:
ST - 11p 4g 0a
LW - 11p 5g 1a
RW - 12p 3g 0a

DCL:
ST - 18p 3g 2a

I think we see Richarlison as a good RW due to how relatively good Richarlison is compared to Walcott. Richarlison also played ST during the teams worst time form wise of the season and shouldn’t shoulder all the blame for his performances in the position.

If we do get a ST like Kean though and a true left footed RW, Richarlison’s best position is at LW. To have a free flowing front line like Silva seems to favor it would require 2 signings and Bernard to be moved to the bench or tucked inside as a CM.

I can see it being done but I’m torn about lil Bernie not getting starts when he was showing so much improvement over the year.

I can only see Bernard playing CM if Siggy isn’t in there and so he’s lined up more towards the left side closest to Digne so they can push Richarlison forward and more towards the center.

Bernard has played 22 minutes in the middle since leaving Brazil so that ain't happening.

I think Richarlison could eventually be a decent CF, but it's still weakening some place else and his physicality is a key outlet for us in transition because OUTSIDE backs can't match him. It's just critical in dealing with the press and when you move him to CF he isn't the same.

Mug or dildo

I'm not against signing Zaha, but. Wasn't the idea that Marcel Brands could bring in talent from South America or lower leagues so we could avoid spending extortionate amounts on such player's.

He's doing wonders trying to shift out deadwood on massive contracts then we are on the verge of blowing millions on a player who has undoubted talent but often looks more like a hip hop artist on the pitch than an actual footballer.

Let's see how this one works out!

No, apparently he’s rubbish and should be benched at the first opportunity lol

If Everton supposed interest in Zaha drives up the price forcing arsenal to match our bid. The very least palace should do as a thank you, is to take Bolasie, McCarthy and Niassie off our hands

 

[Billy Dean]

The main reason was the fact that both full backs had decent support in front of them for a change, instead of just the left side. It opened more space up naturally as opposition players had much more to think about.

And it meant Walcott wasn’t getting a game

Only probably with the young South American avenue is our work permit laws are much stricter than the Netherlands. As we are seeing with Onyekuru.

I agree though Zaha does whiff of not in keeping with the strategy.

We ain't spending 60 million and its pure agent bs to flush out arsenal.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

He’s not coming ffs

It’s a done deal m8, read it on Twitter.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Can we just send a giant Kinder Egg to Palace. Inside could be McCarthy, Niasse or Bolasie. Maybe even a special edition Besic.
