I know we are well stocked up in some positions and not expecting Sims to sign.
However, if we were to sign him, it allows us to have Leko up front, Sims and Kirk on the left, DJ and Blackett-Taylor on the right. Clayden can develop in the U23s and out on loan. Lee as a 10.
It means we would have options just as good as each other.
Plus, I think he’s class at this level.
But yes, a left back is a priority and another position to top up elsewhere. Not entirely sure I’d go for a GK as an emergency loan could work out better.
In August 2019, after his contract with Crystal Palace expired, Souaré joined French Ligue 2 club Troyes on a one-season contract with an option of a further 12 months.
In July 2021, having made no appearances for Troyes in the previous season, Souaré trained with the Crystal Palace under-23 squad, with a view to maintain fitness, and appeared in pre-season matches for the side.
Freedman is the sporting director at Palace, good long term friends of Gallen. Potentially one that got in contact with him about in the efforts to help Souaré find a new club.
@Sage I know you are a big fan of Simms and from what I've heard about him (from a saints supporting mate) and elsewhere he does seem like a decent talent at this level at least.
Why do you think he was not picked up this transfer window? Wage demands coming down from the Premiership?
If cawley is saying that we surely are not going to wait around as free agents will be getting snapped up and have a few options now the window is shut so i expect some signings v soon ...
Tracey said “my boy’s coming home”. About a player who was on loan to us for a few months. Incredible stuff to be honest. She is what good clubs are built on.
I remember the clip he put on his instagram the first time round, when she was doing his shopping for him. Was great to see how far she goes to ensure these young lads get settled.
pretty sure a left back will be a free agent and most likely a keeper
Any word who the triallist keeper and left back were on Tuesday afternoon?
I've no idea who the trialists were but one was a keeper & the other was a central defender, Richard Chinn normally a midfielder played at left back. I was at the game & was not impressed with either triallist.

Agent probably told him he could get a Championship club and in the end no one probably offered him a deal. Probably got offered ones in League One but holding out for something more “attractive”.
I think much of the problem nowadays with free agents are likely down to what their agent tells them. Half believing they’re right, half hoping for a bigger payday.
If he is willing to put in the graft, he’d be a fantastic signing for anyone in this league.

Has a lot of experience, but hasn’t played much since his horrible crash a few years ago.
Looks like he was training with Palace u23s in the summer and got a few games.

Old man Watson
Even Innis whom has potential to be a legend if he stayed fit for us is unlikely to ever do so.
Our recent ex Palace business has been dreadful on the whole.

On Jack Wiltshere, I think you will find that Dennis Wise owns Como in Italy so that will be the link

Palace paid £5m for him and he never started a League game for them
