Jimbo Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 1 minute ago, moore_94 said: Waghorn comparison is a bit of a weird one to try and make. When we got him on loan from Sunderland they were in the Prem and we had just been promoted from League One. We have finished above Palace in 7 of the last 8 seasons and now we are helping to develop their players. Don't get me wrong I really like the signing if it happens, just annoying that as a result of relegation this is something we are having to resort to. No different to being annoyed that Forest could come in and take our best players now if they wanted to, even though we have spent the last 10+ years above them. But that's the state of modern day football, if anyone from outside of the top 6-8 clubs went down, anyone left in the premier league, and those that went up to replace them would stand a very good chance of taking their best players, and those that went down would be taking loans from bottom half premier league teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say that is the present reality for clubs like us and Palace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 We were in the Premier league for 9 years staright, and in that time our academy produced ONE wide player in Barnes who played any meanwhile games for us. So the reasons we have to resort to signing these kind of players can be a number of factors, but I would say the most alarming for is how absolutely shite our academy is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lambert09 Posted 2 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 August 2023 (edited) this is genuinely such a terrible time not to be in the premier league. Forrest struggling in the market. West ham struggling. Everton set to be kak again. luton and sheffield just taking the coin. As strong as the championship is, that reflects on just how weak the prem is looking in that bottom half. but my main point, is that I really think palace have gone massively backwards by giving hodgson the job. Do they not remember the mess they had to fix when he left. He may have stepped in and done very well but putting his actual stamp on this team will take them back. Their movements in the market have almost been opposite to what they’ve done recently. I saw that they were actually looking at demarai gray… which is ludicrous when they’ve got this fella available. But their loss could be our gain. Edited 2 August 2023 by Lambert09 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 For someone with 15 goals and 8 assists, You have to ask the question. Where was our recruitment team when he was with Charlton. We should have been all over him then. Now, We're having to rely on a favour from Palace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 4 hours ago, Dan LCFC said: He'd be a cracking signing. He looks quality. I'm actually quite surprised Palace would loan him out given Zaha's gone. They’ve just signed that Brazilian kid for a decent amount though haven’t they. With Eze & Olise as well he’d be better off getting more experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago Palace were mopping these sorts up, and some fans were suggesting that we could do the same. Now seems like a good time to belatedly start, though I get the impression our scouts were also infected by the club's 'oh no we'll never go down' disease, and are still picking up the more affordable options from our PL scouting (in addition to perhaps a bunch of loanees which agents and clubs are no doubt pushing for us to develop on behalf of PL outfits). I don't see any evidence of there having been a contingency in our recruitment for finding ourselves at this level, at least not in terms of trying to invest in players for the long-term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 Some comments from Palace fans: "This would be an amazing move for him provided he plays enough. Was expecting him to go on loan to a team further down the expected table. Shaping up nicely for him to be our Olise replacement but I think we'll surely have to buy another winger now we're even lighter in that position." "Direct goalscoring right-winger. He's the biggest talent to come out of our academy since Zaha, we have very high hopes for him. Did very well on loan at Charlton last season and was their player of the season." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must have a whole team of data analysts and scouts etc, looking far and wide for emerging talent...yet we are signing Harry Winks from Spurs...for £10m. Late 20's, low ceiling, sideways and backwards passer. I'm not sure there is any point in us even having a recruitment team at this point! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 3 hours ago, Lionator said: The "loan from Palace" comments people need to get over themselves. This time next year the two clubs could quite easily be the other way around. Remember when we loaned Waghorn from massive Sunderland. Then look what happened in the next 10 years. That's in a way why it's a bit odd though. There's no disputing they've above us but I'd be surprised in some ways for them to give us a leg up.
