The big problem we have now is if Rafa succeeds and we go up, then Ashley has been kind of proven right which will make him even worse to deal with in the summer
You would think that our way of paying the full amount up front for transfers would mean they would be better to loan him then get the £13m in the summer, rather than sell him to someone else now and get £4m a year or however it works
We all know that - but its easier said than done and clubs will hold us to ransom.
Hatem on loan for the rest of the season with option to buy just seems to make far too much sense does it not?
If the one thing that Gouffran is meant to offer is defensive support to Dummett then surely Lazaar has to be worth a try on the left wing. Also 100% agree that Anita should take Colbacks role with Yedlin in at right back.
Perez has just gone as any sort of player so a new signing to replace Diame is a must.
It seems as though Fat Sam has submitted a dossier which has impressed the Palace board, resulting in them moving Pardew on. I'm sure Chris Hughton is gutted for him!
