Who are the options though? What type of player? So many right sided attackers are from the modern wide forward school, left foot, cut in and look for the shooting chance. If we are looking for the more old fashioned type there are very few options at a level worth considering.

Draxler might be available, gorgeous player to watch but have the impression that he is type who looks great on the odd occasion you see him but would frustrate over a full season. I would kill for Ousmane Dembele of course

I guess people who say that aren't getting carried away by two games against relegation fodder. wait til he's scared of an opponent or expectations.

Great stuff again and we're not even firing on all cylinders yet. Told y'all that Jones would be fine if fit and first team and that we didn't need 10+ players adding to the squad in the summer.

Love a positive told you so.

Would deffo be tempted to test PSG for Draxler, seemed to do really well for them back half of last season but will be struggling for game time once Mbappe arrives as well. Ludicrous attacking options there now

I'd be all over Dembele too, chuck the Griezmann money at that ridiculous bastard. Another of the French players to the mix too

Jones was excellent at the back; if he stays fit then a consistent partnership between him and Bailly could be a pivotal platform for the team to build on. They've looked solid so far.

Alright Marlo, give it a rest.

I see the Dutch philoso-£#%&! is working a treat at palace.

He's been there for two matches.

Read somewhere so probably %@#$&!s that Barca had agreed £90m for Dembele If Coutinho doesn't happen - should wade in with an offer to do it at £95m - get Zlat in for Jan and forget griezzman.

Edit...just read Dortmund have announced an hour ago he can leave for €150m any other wingers available?

2 great results ,causing teams problems with our pace and power ,finally killing teams off in last 30 minutes , but don't get carried away ,Swansea should have scored ,it will be interesting to see how Utd react when they go behind in a game ,but we look a much improved outfit this campaign .

Cheers

They hit the woodwork when it was 0-0, but so did United.

Perfect

They had 1 shot on target. The one that hit the bar was a miss-hit cross ffs
