How the **** they pull that off? West Ham & Betis declined because of £160k a week demand according to Sky. If Palace are paying that, we really are out of our depthQuote:

Just hope (if/when) we go its fighting and with a plan for next season already in mind.
Only an hour left until the doom mongers can confirm our relegation.
That was confirmed on May 6th after our promotion wasn’t it?Quote:

When we needed a big transfer window it seems two of our rivals have strengthened better than we have. Fulham and Palace that is.
We are odds on to go down with or without more signings.Quote:

For what it is worth I did not. I at least expected us to sort out the areas that needed most work even if going with Niasse up front after the Sala incident is in some ways understandable.
So who were you hoping for at right-back?Quote:

8 mins left ............ :wave:
Perhaps, I just wondered if you had somebody in mind.Quote:

Frankfurt came in and he is away to them in double quick time. Another example of us stumbling on a transfer and a competent set up coming in and getting a deal done quickly and efficiently.
Well that's all Folks ........... can't say I'm not disappointed with today's business, thought we might have taken the risk on one or two more players but hey ho there we go :shrug:
In fairness, Frankfurt are 5th in The Bundesliga and are playing in Europe so possibly just a more attractive option.Quote:

Then again in the modern game with agents using clubs and players as pawns in their game of getting rich then who knows.
We have our two players and we all know why we're short up top now.
It is what it is and we as fans can do nothing more than get behind the team that is out there on the pitch.

Palace with Batshuayi.
There was some talk earlier of Damour going on loan to a Scottish team. Their window closes at midnight so that could happen. Trying to work out what our 25-man squad could look like. Only Madine has left from the original squad. If Damour does go then Bacuna and Niasse to take their places, I assume? Not sure where that would leave Healey, who hasn't gone back out on loan?
