Palace (H), 22/11/25, 3pm - Build Up & Match Thread

[jd1981]

Nearly 150 years of history at this club and I have a feeling this season is what we’ll become most famous for.

 

[AndyWolves]

If we cannot continue with munetsi and hwang as "footballers" in our team. We have to have other options

 

[Banjo]

Whoever scouted him is probably going to be looking for a new career soon. Talk about a downgrade from Semedo! He is nippy, apparently, but you wouldn't believe it to watch him play.

Yep. In one summer:

Semedo to Jackson/Hoever
RAN to Wolfe/Bueno
Cunha to Arias/Fer Lopez
Sarabia to Our Shit Bench Options

 

[jd1981]

Since the October international break we’ve lost all 5 games scored 2 and conceded 13 also had blank in 4/5 of those games.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

I might actually be a better footballer than Tchatchoua

I don't know you and I never saw you play but you are or were definitely better than Tchatchoua, Munetsi and Wolfe.

Nah, the cupboard is bare. Fosun have seen to that. We're a shop window club who can't properly scout players so you end up with this motley crew. 2 points ffs!

Id genuinely put mane or arias ahead of munetsi and anyone in front of hwang

I got told the “profile” was decent.

I couldn't care less mate tbh. I rarely know anything about our summer signings before they join us. If you already knew they were shit then maybe you should apply for a job at the Wolves, because it seems no one else at the club knew that.

Think it was quite obvious at the time that they were all downgrades. Arias possibly the exception who came with a big rep, but he’s been one of, if not the biggest, disappointment.

That's a different point though isn't it. When did we last sign an upgrade? It's the extent of the drop off in quality that concerns me. It's like our scouting team didn't know which competition we played in.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

When did we last sign an upgrade?

It's a good question. Probably Dawson and Cunha, and perhaps Podence before that.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Yep. In one summer:

Semedo to Jackson/Hoever
RAN to Wolfe/Bueno
Cunha to Arias/Fer Lopez

It would still be a downgrade if we played both replacements for all three!

 

[C.L.D]

It's a good question. Probably Dawson and Cunha, and perhaps Podence before that.

Have to include Lemina in that too, regardless of how his time here ended. That Jan window looks even more the anomaly as time goes by.
