So this is how it feels to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan seeing no one come in and a few go out ? It’s oddly unsettling

Looks like the same transfer policy as usual, lots of talk, and then nothing.

I didn't know CW was a Geordie

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Too Mutch, Williams, and Puncheon must have been worth 50k a week minimum even with Hud picking up a bit of punch’s salary. Punch was in our 24, so that to me does suggest they are looking to bring a player in.

One of Sorloth or Soaure to go out on loan if we expect more than one in would seem like the logical movement. So, don’t expect that because this is Palace, far better to sign another player realise you can’t name him in your squad then sell him in the next window alla Holloway and the mystery French fullback.

With 50k a week to play about with there must be options in the loan market. If you are only paying a percentage of a players salary then there must be decent options, but is bringing in a striker when Benny will hopefully be back in Feb really going to make that much difference? Seems silly to try and bring in another big striker on loan when we will have Benny back in the next couple of months, or are we going to bring in another forward like Ayew. Strange to have two similar type players competing for one berth both on loan. Hey this is Palace.

That might work if we didn't suffer injuries between the end of January and the end of the season but life doesn't happen like that.

It wasn't that long ago that we only had one goalkeeper and were excreting hot bricks that he wouldn't get injured. It's too much of a risk not to have backups

I do agree with this, I heard someone say that we are 'a Jamie Vardy away from finishing 7th' the other day which rung true to me especially considering we have the 4th most clean sheets in the league.

Is frustrating seeing us play what I think has been pretty well recently yet still having to turn the screw just to get a single goal sometimes (Burnley, Grimsby, Cardiff etc.),

However although sometimes it feels for all the world that there is sheer ignorance from the board, DF, RH etc in not immediately throwing the lot at signing a goalscoring, at least semi-marquee striker, I think there are many factors restricting that happening due to the nature of the market, who is actually available and what represents good financial investment for the club both short and long term.

I predict we would need a stroke of luck to sign someone half-decent, I wouldn't even mind Gabbiadini from Southampton (we only really need an out and out goalscorer not a technically gifted supremo) however I would imagine we may only even make just a single signing this window, if that, and it will probably be a somewhat disappointing and ineffective on (Niasse)!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
