Kang-in Lee. (suggestion) SK int'l on Mallorcas books with a release ~£16m. Newcastle/Hammers interest. SK Yonhap news wire: Left footed attacking mid assist man and as with most on the SK squad - a highly intelligent footballer capable of seeing the game. IMO he might slot in smartly a step in front of the decoure/anderson/guehi defensive triangle bringing significant organisation to the turn of play. my one pence worth (inflation) Decent shout, young but Newcastle are looking like paying the release clause. Newcastle have made it very hard for teams such as ours to get decent players - and it was already hard enough with West Ham, Everton and Villa buying everyone - let alone the 'big' clubs who we can't compete with. Add Forest buying everyone too and it's a seller's market as usual.

Any player that does put themselves in said window we are going to be well down the financial pecking order for. Look at where we have been buying our players from - Mid/lower league French sides, Championship, other team's academies (where they willing let them go) etc. Andersen was a good get. I would imagine our transfer activity will be, and be better for, finding relatively unknown gems as opposed to flavours of months where we are like the proverbial males on Xmas eve trying to get presents last minute and willingly overpaying if one is available.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

We bought him after he had been relegated with Fulham, where he was on loan from Lyon. Edited by Willo (01 Dec 2022 4.07pm)

A full Danish int'l, apparently he did quite well for Fulham (not that I was aware) and Lyon are hardly minnows, that would be my consideration for 'a good get' - he is seemingly admired by quite a few external to our club.

The essence of my comment was that Lyon were happy to loan Andersen out to Fulham, with an option to buy, and we signed him on the back of a relegation at Fulham so we were not in some major competition with bigger clubs for his signature.

And in order for Textor's OL purchase to complete, we will have a shareholder rearrangement at CPFC2010. "The sale depends on the Premier League’s approval of the transfer of his shares in Palace to his holding company Eagle Football LLC. That would bring together his shares in the Eagles as well as Botafogo and Molenbeek." "The EPL has been in talks with Eagle Football about Conte and the other new shareholders, who will become de facto investors in Crystal Palace, a person familiar with the matter said, asking to not be identified discussing confidential information."

The player who caught my eye yesterday was winger Jeremy Doku who entered the fray for Belgium for the bench.He is currently on the books of Rennes. Edited by Willo (02 Dec 2022 9.19am)

Edited by Willo (02 Dec 2022 9.19am) Speed merchant who has had a lot of injuries. Young, a bit inconsistent, but a real Palace type of player, raw like Zaha was. However, believe his last transfer was over 20 mil and recently enough. Liverpool are scouting apparently.

It'll be interesting to see how Iliman Ndiaye does against England today. Having a good season at Sheff United (has filled the void left by Gibbs-White) and now featuring in the World Cup just a few seasons after non-league football.
