Originally posted by Goldfiinger Maybe this is instead of Townsend, as it seems he's staying put. Decent signing hopefully. Campbell I could see staying at the Arse or moving to an EPL club but Townsend possibly stayin put, possibly over us is a desperate state of affairs on his part. Both would be decent signings for us and add value to the squad. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

I really don't understand the pessimism on here. Every time we are linked with a player that people rate they all poo poo it 'good player means he wont sign for us' or 'far too good for us, will go to someone else' etc. F**k me, maybe just maybe, they will see a club that has exciting players, a great fan base and plans to really move forward and push onto the next level. He hasn't played much football in the last couple of seasons, I haven't seen other prem clubs falling over themselves to sign him and with the Euro's going on I am sure most will be looking in that direction. Also we are based in London so he won't have to move. I don't see Spurs/Chelsea going for him and I think that West Ham will want a bigger name, that leaves us as the other premier league option in London. Also I bet all the people that state that players of this ilk will never sign for us are the first to complain when we are linked with a league 2 striker!

And maybe, just maybe, they see a club that has a paper-thin squad, with a couple of exciting players who have shown little in respect of end product, a manager who appears to be, at best, inflexible with his tactics and, at worst, clueless when things aren't going to plan. I have no definite idea what concrete plans we have to "push on to the next level" and I doubt any outsider has a greater grasp of them either. As for the "great fan base", that's just something we've been patting ourselves on the back about to compensate for the recent lack of success on the pitch; it's the Palace equivalent of Brighton feting their attendance figures as a comfort blanket.

Alternatively, you could say we are the kind of club that a player can come to in order to relaunch their career. Getting some game time & showing the world how good you can be used to count for something. Even a loan deal would do - it can benefit the player and both clubs involved & someone like Arse loaning us a player is probably much the same as us loaning one of ours to a championship team. Loan deal with an option to buy would suit us very nicely indeed. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Originally posted by silvertop I dislike descending into the personal but you are a proper ray of sunshine. I bet you're ex Picardy? I think a problem for long term supporters is that we are still reacting as if the club had just hauled itself out of administration, rather than working towards being an established PL club, capable of beating any team (on a good day) and a team capable of getting to the cup final. We all know things can go pearshaped very quickly (Newcastle, Charlton) but the people in charge at Palace are now very experienced and committed to moving the club on to the next level. Grounds for coniderable optimism, I think!

Originally posted by silvertop I dislike descending into the personal but you are a proper ray of sunshine. Perhaps but you can't deny that what BD posted isn't the truth. That downward slide in the second half of the season has possibly done quite a bit more damage than we might think in terms of attracting the class of players that we need.

I think it was Five Year Plan who reported that we were after him on loan before he had a fantastic World Cup. Love to see him come to us. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Or alternatively you can look at it from a longer term view. If you take a 5 to 10 year view we are probably at least where we would have hoped to be, despite setbacks. We have to trust that, even if we don't make a meteoric change, we continue to improve along our intended path. My only concern is that others' development will be sufficiently faster than ours that we get left behind by the competition. Especially a certain South Cost bunch.

It wasn't our view of where we are that was being discussed but the possible view of us by players that we might like to join us. What many people whether footie fans or players will remember us best for is being cup finalists but also our swan dive down the table from European hopefuls to relegation candidates without stopping to draw breath.

What many people whether footie fans or players will remember us best for is being cup finalists but also our swan dive down the table from European hopefuls to relegation candidates without stopping to draw breath. In my view our second half of season slump may be less of a problem than people are saying. If we were looking to buy a first team regular from a top 4 side then Ye, They may say I am above this. However We are looking at players who are bench players or reserves for the top 4 club. These players want the chance to prove they are good enough so a side with a paper thin squad gives that opportunity. I am less sure about Joel Campbell, He had a good World cup but has not impressed buyers on his loan spells enough for them to buy. However in his Arsenal appearrances last season he did seem to have something.But remember Sanogo and Bamford they were rated higher than Campbell
