Rumour has it the Palace boss is interested in:
Patrick Viera - The experienced midfielder could add something to the team.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas- Was on loan at palace last year and Ryder may be tempted to launch a bid for him
Giovani Dos Santos- another loanee who really did impress last year could he make a permanant switch to selhurst park.?

Chelsea Vs Crystal Palace

Matchday one saw premier league newboys Crystal Palace thrown in at the deep end. Alex ryder came out with a defensive line-up for this. Chelsea took the lead and it seemed like same old chelsea but 2 of the palace players didnt think that way, Wonderkid Victor Moses leveled it for palace on 60 minutes and then experienced goalkeeper Julian Speroni produced some magnificent saves to keep chelsea at bay and for the game to end 1-1

meanwhile Crystal Palace's hunt for a striker is coming to end according to reports they have had a loan bid for Franco Di Santo accepted.
 
im using my 4-5-1 tactic i used when i was in the championship just abit more defensive.


Simon Jordan waved goodbye to Crystal Palace as it was announced he has sold the club to Director Drew Ainsley.

On the same day Crystal Palace also announced the signing of striker Marko Arnautovic for a club record £11.5 Million pounds from FC TWENTE.
