You made a claim that you knew those 150+ players to be unhappy and available. I asked how you knew this. You never answered, but you did get abusive. You've been asked this more than once, and not just by me, and have got abusive each time. Are you going to answer the question, or are you going to keep being abusive? If it is the former, I would be genuinely interested to know.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

Could reach a deal for £12-15m straight away, no loan. IS WORTH IT! Don't know if for Palace, as Zaha is here, but definitely will be one the best in the PL in 1-2-3 years

That's why I said that a deal could be reached in the middle, for 12-15 million.

If they are not valued high by their current managers doesn't mean they're poor. The world is full of bad managers. It's actually a business opportunity to get those players for half they'd be worth.

Am sure Depay is massive talent and has massive potential but above all else we want players right now that are well up for a relegation scrap over the next four months. As we have found from some of our previous marque signings, the most expensive players don't always seem to possess that quality. A very expensive gamble.

Thank you. So, what you are saying is that you think they are unhappy because of their situation, and because of that they might be available for the sums you claimed. That's different from knowing they are unhappy and available for under 10m, but that is ok. We got there in the end.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

Maybe if he's available on loan. Otherwise there is no way he'd sign for us or for us to commit that sort of money (transfer fee + wages) in our current position. These sort of suggestions are not realistic. We'll pay 10m tops (for an individual) in this transfer window and that will probably include wages. Edited by Salford eagle (07 Jan 2017 1.17pm)

I have seen the guy coming up here in Holland and dare say you massively overrate him! Not what we need both in terms of mentality and football skills. He might just be better then Townsend but very comparable. Full of himself, dribbling too much, not a team player: Stay away!! You wanna gamble Dutch, go and try get Vincent Janssen from Spurs. I know he has been poor so far but he has the drive and mentality that suits us and also might well be interested as after yesterday his chances in the Spurs team will be limited.

I mean WTF!!! Why aren't clubs buying? Everton hasn't made a bid, Nice pulled out cause they don't have money to buy from the Premier League. It would take another Premier League club to pay the fee. From the 14 outside of the big 6 I expect one to rapidly make a bid!
Depay was just so good in the Netherlands that no other player had ever had his goals and assists per minutes played percentage. And he was just 18-19 when he established himself at PSV. And his first games at United were very good. Has everyone forgotten that? The trashing of FC Brugge 7-1 and the qualification to the Champions League? He didn't do so well in the Premier League, I admit. But he didn't do horribly either. It was hard for him in the first year, he had to adjust. People are saying he's spoiled and doesn't run enough, but I've seen him play and I thought he presses a lot, recovers, runs fast. He's still a starter in the national team and the dutch see him as the best prospect for the future 10 years. I'd buy him in a jiffy if I had 20 million. And I hear they might even sell him for 10. GET THIS GUY!!!!!!!!

You're not Dutch and if you are you're talking nonsense. Must be an Ajax fan, because Depay did at PSV something bloody impossible for a 19 year old: 39 goals and 18 assists (57 in total) in 5.800 minutes. He dribbles too much? Well, these are all contributions to actual goals besides the dribbling Edited by mattteo (09 Jan 2017 8.33pm)
