No one can convince me that any other current Premier League club would sign BDCR or Ayew.

BDCR was offered a contract by Fulham.

I thought BDR would look tidier than he has tbh, he's been the biggest disappointment for me. Fulham fans seemed genuinely gutted he'd gone and not just through sentiment, but he looks clumsy and inefficient.

 

Never wanted Ayew despite people in the transfer threads telling anyone who didn't fancy him about how their "Palace supporting mates love him" so had no expectations. I'd rather he didn't start. Can't believe we paid cash for him.

 

Eduoard will end the season with a Wikipedia entry of:

→ Leicester City (loan) 31(4)

 

At least we're not stuck with Eduoard beyond this season's mess.

I think it is useful to get the views of people who watch players week in, week out.... My 'palace supporting mates' were fairly positive. They said he worked hard and wins free kicks. Pretty accurate. I think they realised their comments wouldn't influence the transfer....

They didn't influence it?!

You can tell that the Aussies on here are viewing our games upside down. It's the only explanation for the stand out positivity in their posts on this forum

😄 I mean, they convinced me, and I HD a good chat with Steve about it, but other than that!

[CrazyKopCorner]

They are relegation fodder signings and will be absolute dogshite in the championship as well. 

 

All Cooperisms - the man does not know his arse from his elbow.

Bit harsh to judge Eduard already. He’s only played 70 minutes give or take.

Awful signing though really. We need goals yet we somehow sign strikers who don't score goals.

All 3 Cooper signings.

BDCR...you never see him in the game.

Edouard didn't look likely to score

Ayew 🤷 can only fall over to get free kicks.

Once we were admired for good signing but now we stink.

My only positive is that these were all Cooper's and not are recruitment board

How do you know this, out of interest?

You can make a pretty educated guess that he had a big say in their signings, based on the fact that the only phrase that came out of Coopers gob for 6 weeks was "Premier league experience"

This will very quickly become a 3 year contract negative for two of them in a couple of weeks....

They’re crap let’s be totally honest. People can try and be overly positive to seem a better fan but they’re crap.

That was also plastered on here as well. People were defending the BCR signing at the time (not me personally, I've never rated him let alone at the end of his career).

 

But as always we blame Rudkin when we like the manager but blame the manager when we don't like the manager

You've changed your tune. Gave me no end of shit after Fulham, really wasn't difficult to see he's useless

I'm shocked to see that players deemed no longer good enough for Fulham and Crystal Palace have led to us being a comfortably worse side than Fulham and Crystal Palace.

 

Imagine someone tells you that two years ago.

Fulham offered BDR a new contract, so wanted to keep him. I imagine Ayew would have also got quite a few minutes with Palace this season if we hadn’t come in with a decent offer. 
They were decent signings for us in our situation on a budget. I’m willing to give Edouard more than a few minutes before judging him too. 
 

We are a club aiming for 17th this season. People need to remember that rather than going on about the good times from a few years ago.

So did Ryan Bertrand.

 

I think a lot of it past the age of 32 is about being a fixture at a club, knowing the staff, knowing the squad and having a certain position. 

 

That mental stuff is a big factor in the way a player turns out on the pitch. All of a sudden you're in a new place and you're not established. Then you're a bit older, a bit slower, and you aren't riding that wave with a bunch of familiar players and suddenly you're a lot less sure of yourself.

He wanted experience, but it doesn't mean he's personally picked them. Quite clearly we didn't have the budget to go out and get players in their premier league prime. So the scouting team would have identified what we could afford... and here we are.

The Everton game was a mark against Ayew for me. Missed a couple of decent chances and was blowing after an hour.

[leicesterlad1989]

BDCR and Ayew have seemingly been signed to play in this stupid system that Cooper uses. I genuinely don't believe they are bad players. I think Ayew can be useful if used right. Ultimately either one of them playing (or both) prevents the likes of Fatawu, Bilal or Facundo getting a run in the team. It's all far too safe and boring.

We're not using Ayew correctly at all. Should be coming off the bench to see games out.

 

But completely agree with Edouard and BDCR.

How he lasted 90 minutes I’ll never know

Don't think Ayew is all that bad but definitely in the Perez mould where we don't really know where he fits in

Yeah but what does happen is IF you play Premier League experience, you exclude Fatawu for example........

bang average players should  mean  a bang average league position and that would mean staying up… that was always going to be our target this season.
