Perhaps Dazza was posting in good faith merely trying to be informative by posting information he had perused on various media outlets or news that had been forwarded to him.
He did assert that he was not 'In the know' and was merely passing on information.

Of course a number of potential transfers he highlighted did not come to fruition but in the world of transfers there can be more twists and turns than in an Isle of Man TT race.
Nonetheless, some of the so called potential transfers and the fees we were supposedly prepared to pay were far removed from reality.

Well Dazza got his monies worth outta this thread🤣🤣🤣 and took a lot of you for the spin.

Doesn't mean anything.

Roy went for years without any proper investment.

Not many players costing that price anymore which are an improvement and if they are good other clubs will get them ahead of us.

SP never digs into own wallet we know this and the American have no interest in spending for player squad plus you need to meat FFP but it sounded like if rumors was true we had 30m to spend.

The club may be thinking long term Wilf will be living may need the funds to replace him.

Nothing to do with what you have said Palace have always been selective and SP at times its to stroke his on ego.

The club is terrible wen it comes to media related stuff and its strange because the club pays SP company millions for this.

We did spend some money that is one positive.

Bottom 3 you are joking right come on a few players went its not as if half the squad had gone.

You are an idiot IMO.

The guy has high work rate he is the one doing the closing down while Wilf walks around.

The window has to be seen as largely a failure.
If success is deemed as achieving your targets, we largely do not seem to have done this.
Moves for Downes and Edwards failed, regardless of whether you think they would have been good additions.
We did not get Gallagher, Sarr, AWB or another central midfield player.
There may be very good reasons for why these moves didn't happen, but the fact is we didn't get out targets and are arguably have a weaker squad than last season in the absence of Gallagher, Kouyate and Benteke.
At the beginning of this season we had also factored in the return of McArthur to the squad.
Vieira said yesterday there is no return for either player even to the training ground.
It seems to me that this window followed the pattern of many previous seasons, with last season's successful one very much the exception.
Yes we have stayed up and maybe that's enough, but there is an opportunity to move forward as we have some excellent young players.

How do you even know the club was interested in trying to get any of those because the media said so or another poster here may have claimed it?

another drama queen and people say I am negative.

Not getting in a loan not good but why pay out millions just for a loan when the money can be saved and used later on.

I posted this before Wilf will be leaving next year we need all the money to replace him.

The other thing its as people here think we didnt sign any one we did sign a few players only 1 will walk into first team currently.

The club doesnt have much money to play with while we have reduced wages a bit we are still using close to 90% of tv money on wages alone.

Unless we have new owners come in give the club a loan we will continue this way and being mid table team isnt to bad.

How do you know we weren't in for Sarr Gallagher or AWB?
The wider point I was making is that we didn't get targets in.
Vieira has stated on a number of occasions in recent weeks that the squad was light and that he required a different profile of player.
That has not been achieved.
I don't think it's good to go into Premier League games with two goalkeepers on the bench and with Schlupp as an automatic starter in central midfield. If that makes me a drama queen so be it.
