Winging It: A Crystal Palace Podcast

The transfer window is entering its final hours and Palace are right in the middle of it. We discuss the will-he-won’t-he saga of Malick Fofana, Munoz heading to Forest, Liverpool unsettling Sarr and the arrival of Ahanor on loan, plus all the other rumours doing the rounds as the deadline approaches.

Then it’s time for our annual season predictions. Who’ll finish as Palace’s top scorer? Who gets the most assists? Who’ll be Player of the Year? Where will we finish in the league? And, most importantly, what completely outrageous prediction are we willing to put our names to this time?

Palace start the new season with defeat at Everton after a frustrating afternoon in front of goal. We talk missed chances, what went wrong and whether there were still signs to be encouraged by.

Away from the pitch, there’s plenty going on. Mateta is reportedly trying to void his contract, Galatasaray are told Sarr is not for sale, there’s the latest on the Disasi loan and plenty more transfer talk.

It's transfer time. Terence and Hesketh are joined by Carl to work through your questions and try to make sense of what Palace are actually doing.

Why was Pierre Sage the standout choice? What's holding up the Gozo deal? And, after the departures of Guehi and Lacroix, where exactly are the centre-backs?

We get into links with Ordonez, Disasi and Camera, whether selling Munoz if the key to unlocking the rest of the window, what happened to Jordan James, the Johnson/McNeil swap and who else Palace might be willing to move on.

Plus: Doucoure’s future, contract renewals, Alessandro Brito's South American scouting, and whether Carl has been on the end of any meltdowns in the DMs.

Everything you wanted to know about Palace's transfer window. Or at least everything that Carl was willing to tell us.

Where to start indeed.

We haven’t recorded since Palace won the Conference League and, safe to say, we’ve missed a bit.

Pierre Sage is the new Palace manager, Glasner has somehow ended up at Forest, and the Forest owner is now suing Palace for defamation. Normal summer, then.

There’s transfer stuff to get through too. Tomiyasu, Kamada, Mingueza the piano player and who might still be coming or going before the window shuts.

Brennan Johnson has lasted just six months at Palace before heading to Everton, with Dwight McNeil coming the other way. Given Johnson was our second-most expensive signing ever, Terence and Sam use that as an excuse to go through some of Palace’s other transfer disasters.

And finally, the kits. More specifically, is the new away kit actually one of the worst we’ve ever had?

Crystal Palace have won another trophy. What has the world come to? Terence, Albert and Hesketh look back on an incredible few days in Leipzig where Oliver Glasner signed off with a third trophy in 12 months and help to ensure that his successor will be playing European football next season. This episode also includes interviews out in Germany with Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown, Sam Murley - who travelled from Hong Kong for the game - Hesketh's wife Vanessa and Stefan from block B of the Holmesdale.
