All very depressing, am hoping for RLC at least plus 1 more midfielder.

Well the paper I read must have got it wrong . But I looked myself and found this ^^ which gives £120,000 a week . Any loan for this guy is going to put a big hole in our budget .
Its a shame because he is a decent premier player who has found himself at the wrong club without a game on a Saturday . I suppose it all depends on wether he wants to see out his contract not playing and earning a kings ransom or maybe taking a pay cut and playing for someone else .

I remember there was a dutch player years ago who just sat in the reserves for a couple of years picking up first team wages , refused to move on and wasted his career for the money .

Winston Bogarde per chance?

Optimistic as ever

Whoever is left over with an hour left on deadline day probably someone from West Ham or Liverpool

walking down the holmesdale road to see the palace aces!

For a club who rarely buy and then quite cheaply, Palace do very well. There is the other side to this fransfer game and it involves offering a regular game to a player not getting that, though good enough.
REC is just such a player. As for the,wages, astronomical as they are, that is just another hindrance to a player getting a move elsewhere, but a loan with the home club paying those wages, or a good part of it, is not unusual. To have a high earning player sat on the bench with little chance of selling is bad for the club and the player and the longer the transfer window stretches on the more enticing movement is. Can Palace hold its nerve? SP is a clever negotiator.

It’s on here or the bbs, can’t remember which, that Parish’s main tactic is to drive the opposition into a corner in negotiations and business. Well that’s difficult to do if they know you’re desperate for what you’re negotiating over and the opposition are also hard negotiators. Or you just don’t give the selling club any time to find a replacement and you end up looking really silly and rely on the new manager working absolute miracles after the previous one worked disasters when you were on 7 holidays.

But this summer could turn out to be outstanding. We’ll hope and see.
