Speroni insists Palace good enough to stay up

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni insists they're good enough to stay up.

With 15 arrivals in the summer there are fears Palace could be cast adrift of safety but the goalkeeper is adamant the squad will show their true worth when the team begin to gel.

"Of course, we are good enough to stay up," the Argentine told the London Evening Standard. "We are very confident.

"We have a good team and we just need to get to know each other and keep working hard.

"We wanted to get points as early as possible but we are only five games in. It is a long season. We need to stay calm, keep carrying on as we are and then the points will come.

"When you have new players in the squad it takes time to get to know each other. It is important to do that quickly but we are doing the right things and it takes time."
