Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[London Villan]

None of the current kids will make the step up to the level we need.

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

Only a yellow. Get him off.

But he is our best midfielder.... as long as someone else is playing alongside him, he is given more time on the ball, he has better players behind him and the year ends in three.

'But daddy, I wanted a BIGGER pony'

Not sure why you lumped me in with Kippax's comment, however I have been pissed off that Luiz has been so poor. Surely if he is as good as others believe, he would have been the person dragging us over the finish line, instead he has been an anchor holding us back. This was shown up when he was missing for the two matches against Arse and Bournemouth which have been our two best performances the second half of the season. If he can only be "the best" with Kamara next to him, then it puts a big dent in how good he is.

Because I think that's an almost medically harsh assessment.

I think Unai is of the same opinion, too, he hardly ever uses them.

[JUAN PABLO]

Tim is miles off someone like Adam Wharton.

Bit embarrassing for him that Chambers started this match ahead of him and Unai didn't then consider it worthwhile resting SJM for him.

where did they sign Wharton from?  and how much

Blackburn, about 20m I think.

16m, very good player him

never heard of him before Palace signed him but last few mths looks a great player .

You are right

[London Villan]

Eze saying goodbye?

[VillaTim]

Diaby had another impressive game .

Sorry . What did I expect for £50m .

Thought Kellyman looked alright earlier in the season. Didn't really get a look in after his injury. Munroe(sp?) looked decent in his brief cameo last week too.

[Edvard Remberg]

Did he get yellow for time wasting?

[kippaxvilla2]

Palace have already said it’s £60m for either eze or Olise.

[VillaTim]

Last 3 minutes of the season . Might boil an egg .

he  takes everyone home  , driving the coach after. So good value.

[enigma]

Wouldn't be surprised if Southgate takes Wharton to the Euros.

For their quality that's pretty cheap I'd say for whoever signs them.

[JUAN PABLO]

and Mount and Philips.
