I have not been to any of the pre seasons so have never seen him except in a youth game 2-3 years ago when he was a lot younger than the other players and looked it at the time.
Just wondered from those that have seen him play whether they thought he had the ability to step into the team this season or would it be too early from him. He seems to have got some good reviews in certain games but sounded like he was outdone by a 41 year young Paul Furlong yesterday, which is understandable given the difference in experience.
Anyway, with only 1 CB signed up at the moment I wondered if he would be someone likely to get on the pitch a bit.

1. It may not be the popular thing parky has ever done.
2. He will play against 2 of his former clubs this season.
I doubt it'll be long until he makes his debut and will probably play a part. Don't think he's ready to play regularly yet. Never made any big mistakes when I've seen him, but that doesn't mean he can't improve or is good enough for the first team.
I don't care if he'll be popular, is he any good???
He's a free agent so we wouldn't sign him on loan. Would be an ok signing but probably not a popular one.
Bored so looked at Wiki, Matt Lawrence?
I will never hear the end of it from Palace supporting mates if we sign Matt Lawrence. No thank you.
wats situation with darren ward is he available? thought he done alright last season
Love you really paul :-P
I am praying god that we have only signed one centre half and one other defender.. midfield is looking fantastic......
Mcleod seems to have come back with something to proove (maybe that bad experience with Jackett has taught him a lesson). bit worried that Moutakill gets in 1st team at pompey on trial but cant even get into our team !! Mind you we need battlers next year.. wud he fit in that mould.. can see Danny Mills fit that though
Unpopular as hes another Palace player on loan and apparently not very good and has played for Millwall and Wycombe.
thought he was more a full-back than centre-half.
Thought that as well.
Mambo looks like a good one for the future. Maybe a regular first team centre half in a couple of seasons.
Could well be him then if it's actually true, looking him up he played for Millwall and Wycombe. Played over 30 league games for Palace last season so surely good enough for League One for a season. What mart said really, more bothered about whether he's good or not rather than how popular he'd be. I'm sure Holland signing a new contract and playing regularly at centre back would be a much more popular decision but it wouldn't mean it's the right thing to do to move the club forward. In fact played a lot of games most seasons in his career so if we signed him would hopefully not have many problems with injuries even at his age (35 now).
As for Mambo yeah he might be a regular one day, depends how he develops. He's good physically for his age, but some young players don't have the ability or attitude to improve the rest of their game. Hopefully he does, has done well enough so far in his career.
I heard almost exactly the same word for word for old Roofus, and boy how he developed into one of our all time favs... So there's hope yet there.
Of course, we all know that if he is any good he will be off to greener pastures like a shot.
From Wiki "His playing career was hindered at this stage by the shocking murder of his identical twin Stephen" - WTF ?
Anyway, no more Palace rejects !!
