Crystal Palace have been decimated by centre-back injuries of late which could derail their survival bid. At the end of the season, the Eagles look set to say goodbye to two of their centre-backs with Mamadou Sakho likely to move elsewhere when his loan spell from Liverpool ends, while Damien Delaney’s contract is due to […]
Six points clear of the relegation zone with just three games to play, Crystal Palace are nearly there. Just an extra point or two would see them home and hosed and say from relegation for another season. The transformation that Sam Allardyce has overseen over the last three months has been nothing short of miraculous […]
When Steve Mandanda signed for Crystal Palace in the summer, the idea was that he’d help solidify a defence that was leaking goals all over the shop in the second half of last season. The 32-year-old started nine Premier League games for the Eagles early in the season, conceding 17 goals and failed to keep […]
Sam Allardyce is a smart man. He saw that bringing Mamadou Sakho in on loan would be the perfect stop-gap move to solidify Crystal Palace’s leaky defence. He also knows that it’s a tall order for the Eagles to keep hold of the France international beyond this season with a number of top European clubs […]
Mamadou Sakho has been a revelation since his loan arrival from Liverpool during the January transfer window, helping solidify a once-porous Crystal Palace defence. The Frenchman was an integral part of Sam Allardyce’s side that had climbed out of the relegation zone and on the verge of safety before he suffered a knee injury during […]
Since arriving from Liverpool on loan for the rest of the season at the end of the January transfer window, Mamadou Sakho has been nothing short of a revelation for the Eagles.

Crystal Palace were one of a number of clubs to have representatives present at Hive Stadium for Nigeria’s international friendly with Senegal last month, according to All Nigeria Soccer. ”Many European scouts came to watch the game,” one scout told the website as representatives from fellow English clubs Manchester United and Newcastle United were present, […]
Just two months ago, things were looking very bleak for Sam Allardyce and Crystal Palace. The team couldn’t score and were unable to keep a clean sheet, appearing set for a dismal end to the season which likely would’ve ended in relegation. In what really was a shocking turn of events, the Eagles have won […]
Crystal Palace captain Scott Dann has suffered knee ligament damage during the win at Chelsea and will be out for several weeks, it has been confirmed. Dann entered the game at half-time as a substitute for the injured James Tomkins but was forced off at the hour mark himself. In the aftermath of blocking a […]
Crystal Palace made four wins in a row as they shocked Premier League leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend. Despite falling behind early on, the Eagles rallied and a quickfire double from Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke put Allardyce’s side into the lead, a lead which they hung onto for the rest of the […]
Kara Mbodji has been a long-term target of Sam Allardyce’s. He saw multiple offers turned down for the centre-back while he was at West Ham and in January, he had a bid turned down again at Crystal Palace. Palace went on to sign Mamadou Sakho on loan for the rest of the season and the […]
Newcastle were keen to shift Moussa Sissoko last summer following their relegation and Tottenham broke their transfer record by bringing the £30m midfielder to White Hart Lane. The Frenchman has been nothing short of a failure for Spurs, starting just six Premier League games, none since the turn of the year and playing just 56 minutes of […]
