Quote slubglurge at 17 Jan 2014 9.14am Rhodes will be off to West Brom or Everton, both are looking for strikers having sold one each to Hull. They will use the money from those deals to finance a move for Rhodes. We probably never even had him on our radar. I can believe the Best link though, yet another shot shy forward who is exactly the same as Jerome but not as quick. He will do nothing to solve our scoring problems but the attraction to him will be that he will be cheap. It would be an underwhelming signing to put it mildly. I find myself agreeing with an awful lot of your posts. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

We are not yet in a position where we can/will spend £8-10m on a player, perhaps if we can stay in the Premier League for a couple of seasons that may well change. £10m for one player is a lot of money especially one that is unproved at Premier League level, and has not exactly proved himself at International level either.

Asking too much of Murray to come back from injury and be the instant solution

In fact Dann scored Blackburns goal if I remember correctly. He means they didn't play in the replay last night. That is not what he said, he said "he and Dann never played in the FA cup against Man City", where as in fact Rhodes came on for Gestede on 81mins, and Dann played the whole game. I know thats not what he said, that why I started with 'He means...'. The gist of his post is that he'd been keen for us to sign Rhodes and Dann and the fact they hadn't played the previous night may mean they're involved in negotiations with someone. Anyway, I dont see what relevance them playing in the cup has on any potential bit we might/might not make.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'blackburn u turn on selling there best player' by Moose

after reading that he was not for sall at any price a few weeks ago it seems that rovers have changed their stance [Link]

he and dann never played in the fa cup against man city .

would love to see us go for theses two i would think we could agree wages and the striker would allways have a good sell on fee given his age so what do we have to lose ?

come on cpfc lets go for it

If you look at what Pulis is saying I think all the speculation here is pointless as we have the same problem we had in the summer - no one wants to come here. We do not have premier league facilities or pay structures or future (in all but the eyes of some Palace fans). True premiership quality players will not, therefore sign for Palace umless we stay up this year.

Possibly Pulis knows too well that the knack to staying up seems to be not conceding rather than than outscoring. The abiding results of Stoke's recent survivals possibly need review. There was an article on the Holmesdale highlighting that those relegated from the PL in recent years failed to survive because they shipped too many goals, but not because they hadn't scored enough. Seems obvious, but it does correlate. Yes, Best would be underwhelming. So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

There seams to be a lot of difference between what we as supporters are being told and what is happening at the club in practice.I get the feeling the General has f@cked off from the battlefield and left his captains in charge with no ammunition.
