Unfortunately I have a feeling he's going to go to QPR. You'd have thought he would have joined by now after the reports at the weekend. He clearly isn't that excited to join us, and to be honest no matter how good he is, if he doesn't want to be here then I don't really want him here.

My guess is that he is either waiting to see if Ferdinand signs for QPR, or if a bigger team like Southampton or Liverpool come in for him. I just hope that if that's the case, the club turn their attention to other targets. No point wasting our time if he doesn't want to come here, use that time to identify and sign other targets.

Always surprises me how long these things drag on at Palace. Elsewhere the clubs make an offer, agree terms and its all done and dusted in 48 hours from when it was leaked. At Palace 3/4 weeks later and its still going.

It's like it at every club. Look at Chelsea signing Costa, real chasing Bale, Barca signing Fabregas, Utd signing Fellaini. I could go on and on.

Why does everyone get in such a state on here

We've gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs.

It's not like that at every club. Steve Bruce wanted Livermore and signed him a couple of weeks ago. Steve Bruce also wanted Robert Snodgrass and also signed him a couple of weeks ago.

No-one is "getting in a state" over our lack of signings but it's human nature to want the team strengthened and to express an element of impatience if nothing seems to be happening, especially if the targets that we are allegedly interested are being snapped up elsewhere

I think you mean a week or we won't sign anyone lol
