Summer 2018 transfer thread

Why do we start so poorly compared to our finish? Is there a noticeable drop in the way we press in early games compared to the second half of the season games?

We normally have more injuries first half of the season

We were also adjusting to a new ground don’t other this year

We don’t start poor but the league winners tend to start with a flyer (Chelsea had 11 wins on the spin, city drew one game before Christmas IIRC)
 
At the beginning if next season Son will be away in the Asian Cup which means we need cover for Kane in case he gets injured.

So to win the league woudnt it be a good idea to have a flying start :confused:

Maybe next season at home again and with our players and system well bedded we might

I honestly think the World Cup will have a huge impact on some players not necessarily positively
 
With Southampton currently leading, Palace are now in the bottom 3. I actually want Palace to stay up but I for one would love us to sigh Zaha, I think Poch could do a lot with his talent and ability, really bring out the best in him

I would take Zaha but im pretty sure now that if the club are interesred that he would be way down the list of targets for that position
 
As I was saying earlier this afternoon on this thread, to compete for the title we need to strengthen our team if we want to be serious about winning the league title, we are simply not strong enough at the moment.
 
Why not? The team is maturing and improving and worse teams have won it before.

Shame City have a number of young players as well, and they too are developing and maturing. I do not think a Leicester will be winning the league any time soon

They will have the same problem Chelsea had, giving those young players a chance in the first team which will include the risk of bad games that young players go through.
