Nice, thanks gents. Positive stuff then.

Do people think anyone will come in for Willock when he is out injured another 5 weeks at least? I know players move when injured but it seems a stretch, and we dont want Willock stretching or he will pull his hammy or worse. If we shift Isak then maybe we bring in Bilam (EK) or someone else more attacking. Not sure we are in a position to do that until we know what's happening with Isak.

More important is whether he trained with the team today. Hopefully not a lost day due to the wait.

So the person we had lined up fell through? Grace Williams from Palace? Or was that a different job? Gives the impression we simply dont have our shit together and in that scenario people get tired waiting and move on to other opportunities. Best case, maybe they formally need to advertise it before hiring the person they have lined up?

On the upside its keeping me off the platform more so every cloud and all that!

Amazing hero to zero turn around. I'd all but made peace with Liverpool after how they took the Cup defeat and class the fans showed. What the fucking hell happened? I cant get on Twitter without it being flooded with LFC of MUFC propaganda. Its even making me forget I also dislike Arsenal.

Not to heap any pressure or unneccesary expectations on the lad.. ..but I think its clear the success of this season falls solely on Park Seung-sos's young broad shoulders. Giving me nice early Ayoze Perez, Charles N'Zogbia vibes. Hope he continues to rise to the occasion and grow here.

I don't want to pile expectations on...but clearly the clubs success this season rests on his young broad shoulders. Reminds me of the Ayoze Perez or N'Zogbia early days!

Harvey Elliott incoming to Palace for Thrupance as a thank you for being fwends.

We do but looks like we dont have that luxury anymore. With the pool of strikers we are after there is a knock on effect. Wissa > Brentford > Bournemouth > maybe more.. Jackson is probably an outlier we can get in quicker if we can agree on a price. I dont think he is our priority though. Feels like our business will drag up to the deadline week and day.

New Scouse narrative "hE isn't sAfE tO wALk iN nEwCasTle city cEnTre. FrEE IsAK!" They are vindictive enough to walk away an try and get him half price in January. Seems from press reports Isak is just as Vindictive to sit out til then too. Hopefully we find a suitor outside the PL to ship him off to this window. Seems best case scenario.

Ramsey is a cracking player. I would be happy with this. Even with his injury record. Would prefer someone more Creative/attack minded though.

So he can pick the might of Aston Villa who bid 5m lower. Haha

On point for the summer if he rejects us for Leeds lol

Fingers crossed. I think another week passes. We won't have wissa in by the weekend to start, but here's hoping.

Good news is, he should he be fine for starting training with the team tomorrow.

Like more consultation? That sounds like another 6 month delay at least before an announcement.

Thought we would be in for Ramsey at Villa given their need to sell. This is a good shout though. El Kannous offers something different to our pool and I think that is important.

I got zero issues with him playing again if he u-turns. Members of the squad might. Its part of football and generally all agent driven. Plus we love a good redemption arc. I do think we will sell him if we get 140m with some ad ons. He is going now or next summer regardless. Now it's out there I'd rather its him than the likes of Bruno/Tonali. We will need to sell someone for big money sooner or later.

I'd love to find a defender who doesn’t have a potential negative highlights video of mistakes. All of our defenders would have worse reels than that lol.

We were linked with him earlier in the window weren't we? Not convinced we are in for him. Not a huge amount of sources screaming about it. Who knows with this transfer team though. Used to be a case of, we only hear about it when its basically a done deal and it comes out of the blue.

Could be why we were linked to Savona. Maybe we have an agreement with Tripps if we get sorted and he gets an opportunity he wants he can go.
