Solly March

[BuzzBeats]

I'd be appalled! Should not even be considered - too old and decrepit.

Is he like a Jordan Henderson? Old….
But drives the standards?

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

IMO, Larsen is class and will come good, it would help if we could get some crosses in, but Johnson just looks a complete inept disaster, but another RWB

 

[Booted Eagle]

If it happened would be another bit part player with experience that’s all. I’m hoping we still have money to spend, and will before the window shuts. The 70% issue seems to be driving this approach and not just for Palace.

We need to replace Rob Holding. A Palace squad without, just wouldn't be the same.

 

[syd snot]

He's a decent player to be fair and would be a good addition to the squad on a freebie too.
Also it would piss the bedwetting weed feckers off no end.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Well we shopped at Harrods with Johnson and Larsen and are now in the Bargain Basement looking at slightly shop soiled Tomiyasu and March.

And on the last day we'll be dicking around in the discounts at the all night garage.

absolutely, cant compare strand with johnson.
strand will be ok.

 

[Phil’s Barber]

I am speechless.

Three trophies in the last 16 months and instead of pushing on we are shopping in the bargain basement this transfer window.
We shouldn’t be going anywhere near a 32 year old Br*ghton cast off.

Hobbs needs to Foxtrot Oscar sharpish if this his idea of recruitment!

In order to push on you need the money and it's looking increasingly like we splurged much of what we did have on panic buying in January, which with the benefit of hindsight we didn't need to do.

What money we do have seems to be being kept to buy an experienced CB. Time will tell.

 

[wilelliott88]

I'd take him....if only for hoping he scores against Brighton and we get a 'FFS Solly' out of it 🤣🤣

Yes, £35M in Brennan Johnson looks like absolute madness 😕

 

[DANGERCLOSE]

He's decent on a free and would piss off the tesco fans

 

[NEILLO]

A bizarre signing if it happens.

But he'll probably contribute more than Johnson.

 

[cROYdonrogers]

I'm surprised at the positive reactions to this one. We would be a laughing stock with Brighton fans. They rejected him because he's too old for an injury prone at best average player. I really don't rate him but accept that doesn't matter but we have an academy that people are always praising. After all these years there must be one candidate who could be promoted to the first team squad and be better than Solly March.

Perhaps the interest in March is along similar lines to Chelsea and England going for Jordan Henderson, basically a bit-part player but good lad around the place?

That might address a bit of a long-running concern of mine. One side effect of buying, developing, and selling players at a profit is that they all start to think in those terms. At the moment its worked fine. All our big player sales have worked hard and succeded for Palace, and done it the right way. Thing is, even the second-teir players like Mateta and Lacoix want to go onwards and upwards. What percent of the squad has that attitude? How many do we have now who don't think that way, who are content to put down roots at Palace and fight for it when things get tough?

Leicester and Southampton have both had talented, saleable assts but gone down with an absolute whimper. It was hard to believe Leicester in particular would have gone down if they still had some of their less-valuable old guard like Morgan instead of valuable but disinterested talent like Maddison and particularly Tielemans and Fofana. They knew they would be moving on to better things no matter what, and it showed and seemed to spread.

Maybe the club are just trying to get a few more settled, stable pros in the building, and that's what they see in the likes of March?

 

[DANGERCLOSE]

Could be the new number 11?
