Palmer can play as a 10. But it is highly unlikely Chelsea will sell him, no matter how bad their financial situation gets. Unless he creates an absolute fuss, I don't see him being sold. That being said, I would love him here.

:lol:

During his time at Utd, McKenna had bit of a reputation as being too hard of a taskmaster. I don't think a lack of balls on his part is going to be an issue.

Agreed. Varane, Casemiro, Rashford at least need to be shipped out. Though it is unlikely we'll let Rashford go.

As it turned out neither Moyes (after years of managing in the PL) nor ETH ( winning league titles with Ajax) were ready for United. If anything Ole with nowhere near these credentials turned out to be better ( not that I'm saying he was a...

Posted this in the ETH thread but I would strongly look at McKenna. For me a manager's biggest ability should be getting players to consistently over perform and he's done at over the last 1.5 years with Ipswich. He's not a big name, but he...

I agree with what you are saying about the tactics. It is our tactical set up to play this way. But I don't think Bruno is suited to play any other way. Ideally, both him and the manager need to go. But it's unlikely we'll sell Bruno so most...

There are two different aspects to what you are saying here. Firstly, yes the manager is okay with him playing those balls because due to his tactics, it's our best avenue of creating chances. This is ETH's fault as his tactical set up is...

Fantastic post. It's part of a long standing problem in our play of players not moving with respect to the guy in possession. It's most evident when our GK or CBs have the ball. No one is able to cater to them by making movements that would make...

Bruno is 29. I think it's a bit too late to be asking him to change the way he plays the game. Coaching isn't going to stop him playing needlessly risky passes, it's just the player he is.

A left field name maybe when talking about potential ETH replacements, but I would take a punt on McKenna. For me the biggest attribute a manager needs to have is the ability to overperform with the players at his disposal, and this is...

This is the definition of a nothing article. "If he does enough to warrant another season", what exactly is enough? If Dawson knows it why not put it in the article? And if he doesn't know what's enough, then the rest of the article makes no sense.

ETH may not be in the position to have any input on this come the end of the season. Also, even if we are open to selling Rashford the manager isn't going to go out and say it in March, with the transfer window 3 months away.

Fair point. Though I would say talent wise there isn't much to separate Olise and him. But Palmer seems fairly injury free so far, so he is making more out of his tools. Also, as shite as Chelsea are, they're still a better team than Palace so...

Given how we keep squandering 70-80 million on players from outside the PL who come in and flop (Sancho, Antony etc), if we do get in the CL somehow, I hope we make an offer for him. Chelsea obviously wouldn't want to sell him but maybe he can...
