Don't understand why people are so worried, no one wants to see their best players sold but its part and parcel of the game, the top 6 are selling clubs if barca or Madrid come calling. Do you think the club doesn't have a plan in place ? They will have a list of possible replacements for every position in our squad. Judge them at the end of the window. We either develop great players that we sell for profit or have bang average players who will see us relegated. I know which I'd prefer. I wouldn't swap where we are with Everton, Bournemouth, wolves, Burnley, Sheffield utd, Luton at this time but I bet them clubs would love to have our problems. But if you want to follow the Brighton model, you should have replacements in p,ace before selling, this we do not do

Agreed. For me, my ultimate ambition for the club is for us to have Premier League football in our increased capacity stadium. I'd be very happy with 11th every season, personally. I've accepted that when a player joins us, they're joining us for the opportunity to play in the Premier League, against the world's best, hoping to put themselves in the shop window.

So you're a newcomer then Ha, i guess it depends on where you're looking from! It feels like a long time to me. My dad took me to Selhurst Park when i was 3/4 (1984) but i chose Palace when I was 6 and living up North when every other kids was Man Utd or Liverpool. I still remember my dad listening to the playoffs on the radio against Blackburn on the most biased northern commentary of all time. He said he focused on the crowd noises to know if we were doing well or not. Happy days!!!

So apparently Dazza was not far wrong. Hall signed a pre-contract with Palace but Chelsea insisted he sin a new contract first. This he did, they then pulled the plug on the loan and have put him up for transfer for £30m Absolute scumbag club who youngsters should steer clear of I seem to remember the words 'done deal' being used. Amazing how many of these done deals we keep letting slip through the net! Edited by Canterbury Palace (16 Aug 2023 7.45pm)
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Edited by Canterbury Palace (16 Aug 2023 7.45pm) Amazing some lose all common sense when it comes to Dazza and will defend at all costs even when it makes them look leas than intelligentS. When someone says ‘done deal’ that general means it’s done, completed. Pretty black and white. The Dazza groupies are something else.

I hear you don't have to read his posts though The thing is it doesn't bother me, it's effectively little more than an aggregation of news and Twitter accounts. Just feel bad for the people who believe it when it is presented as fact and then end up disappointed.

Look at Brentford and Fulham last season. Finished in the top half of the league and at one point looked like they could qualify for Europe. They are not bigger clubs than us and dont spend if at all anymore in the transfer market than we do. The difference is in Frank and Silva they have progressive managers. We have gone round in his circles and given Roy a one year contract. I dont think players want to join us because they dont know who the manager will be this time next year. They probably think that a different manager might not rate them and they could be gone in a years time. Hopefully the Greek Pavaroti at Forest who is nutty as a fruit cake will sack Cooper at some point and we can get him in to take this club forward.

It doesn’t t bother you but you choose to comment and agree with a poster who decides those that like his posts

So as I happen to like Dazzas posts makes me look less than intelligent? Interesting. What does that make those that deride him at every turn when they could just ignore his posts? I would say signing a pre-contract agreement was as good as a done deal. The fact that his parent club are the scummiest club on the planet may have something to do with it
