[WBA Will]

Tom, not criticizing, your opinion or TP, but could it be that the raw materials that we have are more clayhead than eagles. You can not make a silk purse and all that. Maybe we can eventually clear away the players that are no longer up to the job and one way or another get back the football we desire, the Albion way.

I think you're absolutely correct that Palace already had the players to play the quick counter-attacking game with people like Bolasie and Puncheon but I don't think you're correct when you talk about Pulis clearing away some of our poorer players and bringing in better football. He was at Stoke for 7 years whereas he was at Palace for 9 months; there can be no questioning which one was more HIS team. When he built a team according to his own vision at Stoke, they were the most boring, most aggressive and most dislikeable team in the league, we're only going to head further towards that direction!
