My mate was in a pub last night , and he heard this bloke droning on and on about how he was a long standing palace supporter aged 64, who had a few contacts in the game. He was a bit weird, as he kept using his hands to make "quotation marks" at odd intervals and used words like 'piffle' 'hogwash' and 'risible' at every opportunity. Anyway he said that palace were on the verge of signing Sakho from Liverpool, Perez from Arsenal and munir al hadadi from barcelona, along with a goalkeeper, whose name he could not possibly divulge. He then went on to say that if he was wrong on any of this he expected to be on the end of much vituperation. Strangely he wore a half and half palace / brighton scarf, which my mate had never seen before. Other than that i think we are finished for this window.

Originally posted by palaceken Why does it always take palace so long to sign a target ? How many times have decent players slipped through Steve's fingers because of all the dithering . Maybe things will speed up a bit with dougie. You might not have noticed but the deadline day is 31st August - might have something to do with it ... oh and how friendly are you with your bank manager? We could do with a 100 million just to please the likes of you. Also one of the reasons why both Ajax and Barca took up Total football initially was because they were strapped for cash !!!!

I think we should have a 'Willo meets the fans' evening. Willo will man the mic and answer questions to a group of supporters. He can give us in insight to the man behind the internet sensation. "We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman Got to assume everything rests on, and is pivotal to, Sakho and who we get offers for. Do you know what Rudi he is such a good player and if he comes back what a lift he will be that I would forget anyone else and pay Liverpool £30M,. Can you imagine what an ovation he will get when he walks on the pitch for the first time back! Not only very good but inspirational. Bring back Brolin

Originally posted by Willo Pretty much what I have heard from fellow supporters. But let's wait until the end of the 'Window' before casting judgement. That's not a judgement that's a fact Willo. Basically what Willo is trying to say is that 2+2= 3 or 5. No we've only brought in 1 permanent player and 2 transfers and it hasn't been good enough. Now according to FdB "we are hopeful to get players in before the deadline, if not we have enough experience in this squad." Simply put we don't have enough talent on this team to compete at PL level and if we don't get major backing from Steve Parish and the Board before the Summer Transfer Window we're going down that is also a FACT. Not to mention Willo, how does the fact that us spending 50 million on 2 LBs and a CDM help us now at GK, CB, a RWB/RM, depth on the wings, or cover for Benteke? Oh it doesn't, well I guess we're sht outta luck because I don't expect much to change before the Window Closes on Thursday. Attachment*: 7.png (148.92Kb)
