This all day long. Its the fairweathers who are moaning. Remember august 2012 A Bristol City Reject an Unknown Brazillian, a RB who was slagged off because nobody knew, and Delaney who was said to be awful by Ipswich Fans. Yannicks Great, Moritz contributed goals to our promotion, Ward is this years player of the year for me, and Delaney is solid a leader and reliable.

We've all hoped to have signed players by now, but the fact that we haven't isn't the end of the world. The important thing is how the quality of the squad is improved by the end of the transfer window, not on any given day within it.

I don't understand who or what this post is aimed at at all. I've read back through all four pages, and can find very few posts (only three or so) complaining about the lack of incoming players so far in the window. Most of the thread has discussed the relationship between the board, Moody and Pulis and whether or not the board should discuss transfer policy in the media. Both perfectly reasonable subjects to discuss.

With regard to playing the media game (your first point) the fact that you do it does not make you savvy. Mourinho is media savvy and so, for that matter, is TP. Extremely so. Oddly, our board (who include a media-relations professional) are surprisingly not. They could learn from any number of clubs that you can't go wrong when you don't open your mouth.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Its staggering how few fans these days understand football and its realities.

Palace used to be a class apart with its fans having a bit more of a grasp on things but now some of the stuff you see on these boards is mental.

Im 32 but i feel old, i imagine its a lot of the younger ones who think its all immediate; "Fxck me, we've got £90m to spend, its straight in the bank, lets spend the lot, we'll be in the champions league in 2 years, CPFC 2010 are idiots, they dont care, they want the club to be relegated etc etc etc."

SP, Browett and co have my undying loyalty. Like an SS officer at the end of the war; if they go and we get in a Sheikh Man-whoeverthefxck, ill draw my Luger and end it all.

Good point from Seth. Still nine days to go. Steve Browett said there are lots of things going on behind the scenes. This is always a brinkmanship game. We are entitled to feel anxious, given the way the last transfer window went. And who remembers the Alan Smith days when we were desperate for new players, no-one came and we were relegated? But we need to stay cool and judge the outcome on Feb 1. Fingers crossed!

The right place at the right time

Yeah but you have to play a game for 90 mins before the subs are made, usually around about 70mins onwards. Guedioura, Chamakh, Puncheon were not in last season's squad.

Only Bolasie in front of the back 6 (defence & def mid's) has been available for selection since Spurs. The back 6 has been pretty much the same apart from a few times without KG. Millen & TP have used this platform to their advantage. It is glaringly obvious we miss penetration and finishing in front of them and it is a risk relying on Murray having not played a match for 9 months.
