All the signs seem to point to Sakho wanting to sign for us having agreed terms etc. Exactly why is a different question and one I'm really not inclined to ask. Even though bid rejected I would not be surprised if the club had considered other options and without much success have decided to make their move now albeit with perhaps a cheeky lower bid. Can only hope this means SP would be wise enough to stump up a few more million to sign him otherwise football is a money game and how or to what extent would Sakho be able to resist if Liverpool accept an offer from another club? Also leaves a question mark over whether we will sign the actually needed and not desired GK and Striker? I really am starting to feel as though I know f*** all about what's going on no matter how much I read! Being a Palace fan I am extremely pessimistic of much if any transfer activity from us but can only hope ATM but as suggested I'm not investing too much in hope I think this is just how these types of deal pan out I reckon we will sign him but in the end, as with Benteke, cough up most of what the Pool want. Which then begs the question why wait until the end of the window. Maybe we save a couple of million but maybe we have also shot ourselves in the foot at getting a running start to the season. We would definitely have played far better with Sakho in the games to date. Our defence has been too exposed too often and lacks someone that knows the right place at the right time.

Totally agree, The only justification I can find for the 'why wait until the end of the window' question is again because maybe other options were considered but didn't work out. Total conspiracy-esque here but perhaps us going for Sakho now could also be a sign of the board going over FdB's head on transfers for one reason or another ?? Have to amuse myself with what can only ever be guess work!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

We have to sign him. When he arrived the players raised their game by 50%. He was immense as we won 5 games out of seven and we only lost to Spurs after he went off. He is a born leader something we really lack. I think it will give his buddy Benteke a big lift tok

Then let's hope we don't lose out because SP dithers on the Bin Dippers price, like he did with Tekkers.
Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

We don't seem to do straightforward deals.
