This is a replacement for Holmes, and Mavididi will hopefully move more central as well.
What do we think then - maybe a front line of
Fosu/Marshall Mavididi KaiKai
Magennis
I was hoping this might be a signing to give us more chance of going 2 up top. KaiKai, Marshall & Fosu competing for the wing positions and Mavididi and Mag up front
I would play:
Fosu/Marshall ....Reeves......KaiKai Mavididi
With Reeves as the playmaker and his being a out main creator i think he will get better for us, as i thought he struggles when he isnt involved and we would play through Holmes
Hate Palace, but no reason to hate this lad. If he was coming from anywhere else we'd all be excited. My only worry is if he's a serial diver as they do seem to produce them, but I'll keep an open mind until I've seen him have a run of games.
as it's doubtful I'll even see him play I don't have an opinion on him. However, I thought we wanted two strikers so with the loans we now have we can now only sign one? Or can we sign more but only have x number in the matchday squad?

I think you can sign as many as you like but can only name 5 in the squad.
Another journeyman loan joins the club. Just what we needed.
Good luck to Richard Wiseman and Steve Clarke when they meet with Murray tomorrow. One of their questions should be how is it possible to replace Ricky Holmes with Sulley KaiKai, and still keep a straight face when talking about promotion?

Correct... When Pardew effectively relegated us from the Championship we definitely had more than five loanees at once

Give the bloke a chance ffs. Holmes wasn’t exactly contributing very much over the last few months. Kaikai has an over all record off 22 goals in 91 games. That’s not bad at all.
He may turn out to be shit - and he would be in good company, or he may do a job for us.
Because of the shit show that we have become, we can’t be fussy with signings. The Manager has nothing to spend and has to get by with loans. I’m sure he would prefer not to, but that is where we are at.
People moan that we don’t sign somebody and moan when we do.

Holmes was our POTY last season and while not so good this season, still contributed quality goals & assists. These attempts to talk Holmes down play into Duchatelet's hands.

Have you actually seen his career record?
2013– Crystal Palace 3 (0) 2014 → Crawley Town (loan) 5 (0) 2014–2015 → Cambridge United (loan) 25 (5) 2015 → Shrewsbury Town (loan) 14 (5) 2016 → Shrewsbury Town (loan) 12 (7) 2016–2017 → Brentford (loan) 18 (3)
Scraping the bottom of the barrel springs to mind. However, if I was a regular attendee this season I’d be saying give the lad a chance. As I’m a boycotter I say, he’s Palace .. no way Jose
Scraping the barrel was when we had Fraeye as manager or when we had wasters like Thuram, Lepoint and Koc turning up unannounced at the training ground

On paper then KaiKai has a better career record than Dodoo. But the bottom line is that Duchatelet has still sold our best creative player and Murray said only a % of that money would be used from Holmes' wages. So we have lost another highly effective player on a long term contract and brought in another loan.
The trajectory of the club and the short -termism is all wrong. Remember when Pardew embarked on his panic loan spree [ironically under Murray..] and how that ended up.
As Parkinson said to Pardew at the time [he told us later at a fan's gathering]

What exactly about his history suggests bottom of the barrel?
It’s a reference to having to rely on players from Crystal Palace of all teams
I remember he was excellent for Shrewsbury, was very influential for them and one of the most trickiest and skilful players in the league.

You'd keep going with 1 up front?
Why not utilise a 4-4-2 or 3-4-3?
Yeah i would keep to the 4-2-3-1 Formation, don't think we have the defenders or the right central midfielder players to play 3-4-3.

Agreed, and I was as dissapointed when he left. But unfortunately this is where we are at at the moment.
Roly doesn’t give a toss what anybody thinks - he’s just emptying the accounts and getting as much cash as he can - expect that to continue until the night end.
I think you will be surprised at Kaikai - He he will be a good addition to the squad.

I think you're confusing people arguing with your nonsense statements about a player, with the non existent people saying it's a sign of a healthy regime.
Signing loans is a symptom, rather than the problem.

Dont get why people are moaning so much about it being a loan, yes everyone knows loans are not ideal, non more so than Robinson if you listen to interviews. We have to accept that his hands are tied until the sale goes through, so we have to put up with loans so be it its a means to an end.
Good player and someone who nominally plays in "attack". We desperately need someone who plays somewhere further forward than holding midfielder - formation, it seems, is pretty irrelevant given Robinson's insistence on "rotations" (which is fine, if we A. had any depth and B. were any good).
Decent scoring record and he's a really difficult player to play against. Yes he's Palace, but it's not like we've never had ex-Palace players and it leaves a particularly bitter taste.
That said, if he's shit then he's Palace and can do one.
