This is a replacement for Holmes, and Mavididi will hopefully move more central as well.
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
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 Holmes1 -
who is Zonda? And you forgot Amos.Henry Irving said:

So Kaikai, Dasilva, Mavididi and Zonda is four leaving room for one big centre forward.

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.0
-
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?0

I think you can sign as many as you like but can only name 5 in the squad.LargeAddick said:as it's doubtful I'll even see him play I don't have an opinion on him.

Looks a very good player, particularly at this level. Explosive winger. A replacement for Holmes?0

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?0 -
Correct... When Pardew effectively relegated us from the Championship we definitely had more than five loanees at oncese9addick said:

Why not utilise a 4-4-2 or 3-4-3?

Kaikai is also able to play as front man although his preferred position is out wide.1

Magennis plays as a frontman but his preferred position is in goal :-))WhenIwasLittleBoy said:Kaikai is also able to play as front man although his preferred position is out wide.

Give the bloke a chance ffs. Holmes wasn’t exactly contributing very much over the last few months.JonPenderFan said:Another journeyman loan joins the club. Just what we needed.

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.9 -

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.ricky_otto said:

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_MrDick said: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

Let him come let him play judge him on what we see.
Win promotion.3 -
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]
"You are signing too many loans"
A recipe for mediocrity.

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.

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.1
-
Anyway, as for Kaikai - if indeed he signs:
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.2
