I'm quite happy for us to structure add ons based on performance. But if these only kick in when we qualify for Europe I don't blame QPR for saying no thanks. Imagine what Parish would say if Fulham or Leeds put in a low bid for Zaha with add ons based on them getting into Europe

It was reported that Palace offered £8m + £4m in ' add-on's ' which included Palace qualifying for Europe Is Parrish having a laugh? He might as well make it a £14m add on given the realistic chances of us making it into Europe!!
Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978 |

We will not sign Eze. We are too incompetent. Usual excuses will be peddled. We weren’t interested in a deal at that level, deal wasn’t right for palace. If we wanted him we should have taken the initiative and done a deal when no other clubs were involved. Virtually any other premier league club would beat us to Ezes signature. There was a window for us to get them deal done when we were the only ones talking to QPR. That’s passed now. Let’s just move onto the available loans and free transfers as normal. Do you really believe that we were the only team talking to QPR at any stage? Do you think Eze was hiding under a rock and we stumbled across him on a night out? Every club in the division is very aware of the player and lots of those same clubs will have expressed interest. Do you think that if we put a bid in that QPR will just accept it and tell the rest it was first come first served. They will wait as long as possible to get as many clubs as possible into a bidding war.

But my sense is that next week will be very busy for all clubs as the season approaches, and they will want if at all possible to get their buying and selling business done. Will Eze be a Palace player next week? Answers on a postcard!

Fact is if he’s been identified as one of our main targets ( I don’t know he has) we could have had it wrapped up by now. QPR reportedly desperate to sell. We’ve likely just low balled. We’ll walk away from this deal it’s almost guaranteed. The deal wasn’t right for us. We’re just cheap. We’ve overpaid on Benteke and Sakho and wages on others and this is where we are.

I am sorry to say this but I can see Fulham riding over the hill with their chequebook open and signing him up under our noses. We should have once again just have committed ourselves a bit more first time around!
