I have just been told there are developments on this carrasco deal I will try to find out what but hopefully will hear more tomorrow Dalian want a permanent deal all depends if palace can structure it in a way for it to work for us.

Fingers crossed as this would be incredible but we are definitely interested in bringing him to Selhurst.

I love the optomism but reality is we wont sign anyone

Until the Americans get out of this club and SP comes clean about the plight of our finances all the BS on here will continue.

A wage premium for playing in China shouldn't be part of an equation to play over here surely?

What could be better than a portacabin at Selhurst?

Red and Blue Army!

I too was cautious of the Carrasco rumour. But I was wondering last night if SP sees a need to get bigger names into the club to attract the investment and/or new owners.

Rumour is his wage would be around £100k, which is big, but if we get Benteke out that could cover the wage issue.

His stats for this season look pretty promising, and he's not about to take his pension.

I can see bigger clubs not wanting to take the risk until they see him performing again in a bigger league.

Mattteo/Willo ect. Anyone know how other big players have performed after coming back to Europe from Chine (Paulinho ect.)?

Does Roy fancy him, what is he like shielding the back 4 across the edge of his box? Don't forget if he is not involved in the decision to acquire him, Roy wont be playing him. Perhaps we will see him next season in the Carabao cup.

Could we not leave him there and bring Benitez home instead.
