the BBC upped it to £3 million

sounds more reasonable given the gamble on his long term fitness, one year left on his contract and no doubt still decent wages

the £8m was total rubbish, the same as most stuff spouted on the media - and obviously not much of a balancing figure to the £20m shortfall on Wilf's asking price

Not unhappy either, especially if the fee is £3 million.

I look at it from the perspective that we have lost midfielders Mutch, Williams and Puncheon from the squad as at last August, and are now replacing them with McCarthy and (hopefully) Camarasa. From that perspective, I believe the midfield is stronger. Add to that the constant chatter about Riedewald's departure, Luka's contract, McArthur's shortcomings, a lack of strength in depth and a lack of creativity in midfield - these two signings provide additional options and cover (provided of course that McCarthy can stay fit) and hopefully beef up our creativity with Camarasa.

Still need a RB, striker and possibly a LB too.

Everton must be relived to have got him off their payroll and £3m in the bin as well. How anyone can say this a signing to celebrate must be off their rocker. The guy hasn’t played for a season!

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Not a bad signing but still not in the areas we are desperately short of. If we do sign a good RB and striker then I guess we can say it was a good window. Big if at the moment.

One more point

If this is a 3M signing, I feel much better about it. Still a waste of money IMO as we should have invested in youth without injury baggage.

We have a bid accepted as do Leeds for Britt Asombalonga so up to the player which club he joins (see the thread) Now for a really good RB!
