Lukaku as he set the tone to the match. First five minutes the team knew he was ON IT. I think that gave the team confidence to play off him. Players are more ready to commit going forward if they know rom will hold it up.

Absolutely brilliant today to a man. Everybody worked hard and Ross and rom were unplayable at times. Saw a bit of a nasty side to us today which I liked. Stones and jags were rock solid and I thought cleverly had a good game. He doesn't set the world alight but you can tell he is a players player. Galloway impresses me every time he plays and we had a strong bench. Roberto said he wanted two more players. A striker and number 10 please. I think we can risk a centre back

Merson a helmet.

I think him scoring and playing in that position is not going to help. I think lvg was giving him a final shout before the window and I think he came through. If he would have had a mare he may have shipped him out. I've always said I'd love him here

i dont like the prick either but he has got palace as a bona fide top 10 team. we will be scrapping with mid table teams and slowly falling into shit under martinez.

this is a lad who has been at the club since its started. They have come from nowhere. He has seen the club rise from shit sunday league players who now waltz in with a cv and an agent claiming to be a number 10. so where does your smug comment stand now matt?

i think its time. you have to look at Palace go away to teams and attack with real pace. Pardew has gone in and fucked the team captain off and put him on the bench (jedinak) ruthless.Jose = ruthless

just me and you then Mc 11

Do you know what? i work with a lad who coaches at Fc United. You know the club that wanted to go back to Uniteds roots? they get 4 thou at a home game in the conference.He gets lads turning up for a trial and he asks what their position is. He reckons all these kids turn up saying im a number 10, and he fucks them off saying there is no such thing! it is a fashion statement.

I know its one game but ive had enough.I think the board thought they picked well. Handsome articulate man who can hyperbole like the best. He was happy to be here and had a great squad to inherit. Great first season but was it that great? we had a genuine chance of top four and bottled it and i think its has followed the trend since then. Out thought against palace when pulis was there and our dreams were over. Since then no imagination in the transfer market. I was expecting him to sign silky players that would bring our glory days back or at least change formations proactively. Alas no. he has gone to a "safe" manager. The job is too big for him, he is happy to play attractive football and get the plaudits when he is expected to fail at Wigan but when the heat is on its the same formation same favourites. We will be bottom three after six games and that will be that.I get the feeling the players like him but he isnt a top manager. Get shut early and lets move on

Getting back into the Beta Band and Springsteen. two of my favourite songs Dry the rain and Thunder road respectively

watched the player years ago. Need to watch it again great film. a proper inside wink to the industry. i was pissed last night and tried to watch the final episode of true detective but give up. Hadnt a clue what was happening.poor series compared to the first

im sure they fill 30 ? maybe im wrong

I dont think he has proven himself at all, clubs have bombed him out and if its true he is on 70k then clubs like stoke are seriously flying to close to the sun

i just cant see how City arent chasing him.That is one area they need. I can see us keeping him this year or until january and city giving us £40 mill. Dont know why but it makes sense. Dont forget John has ambition, he was going to Wigan before he had a call we were in for him. Maybe if Moyes was still here he would be on loan at Sheff Wed or back at Barnsley and not be a £30 million pound player. What im saying is i think he is probably open to a move but he needs to think and wait for another season

Not arsed at all. I was gutted when we didnt sign Bojan last year. He was the fucking player we need now

imaginary tumble weed rolling

meh signing

Just want us to go out and have a go from the off.If gerry is fit 4-1-2-3. Mccarthy holding ross and clev just in front then kev,gerry and lukaku up top. Ive not seen us turn up at St Marys yet. That team would cause them problems

Austin doesnt excite me but its a new face. If its him then all well and good. get that number 10 in now. Im really not arsed about Shakiri he isnt a playmaker. I was more pissed off when we didnt sign Bojan last year

Lets go just have a manager that will change his team and formation. can you imagine the opposition managers team talk? they will play two holders and pass it around. give it 15 and they will run out of ideas and then we go for it

Id just like to think if we arent spending money there is a reason for it. We havent spent much for the past 5 years so have we saved it? are we doing a Wenger? I doubt it but if we arent doing that it is a joke. There are players we should have got that have gone to inferior teams/clubs why? it has to be the wages and club structure. If there is a long term plan fucking tell us cos im fed up watching shit teams spending big dough and we arent !!

I can see a loan for our play maker, Van Dyjk in at centre back and a forward. I dont want Austin he offers nothing that kone and lukaku dont. i want a striker that can get played in with pace and drops his shoulder and gets a shot off

I dont see that.I think Bill drives a hard bargain. As Danny Murphy said on Match of the day if Stones signs he goes straight in the team above Cahill.Granted he was poor for the second goal against Watford but even in January when Champion leagues clubs are struggling you will get £40 plus.

I know he is someone we have seen before as usual but i think he is a must signing.. Fantastic work ethic and has pace.£5 mill is a joke for a player of his ability
