News from Argentina that Fabricio Colocinni could join San Lorenzo soon. #nufc
Andros who? Let's get the fancy drinks and party poppers ready.....
Bit disappointed in him, he seemed a decent bloke but he's made a poor career decision. Yes it's PL and London, but there's a good chance we'll swap divisions with Palace in a year. Plus he has competition from Zaha, Bolasie, Puncheon & Sako..... just reckon he should've either stayed here or waited for a better option.
What a shame.

Crystal Palace have won the race to land Andros Townsend with the club hoping to confirm the winger’s signature inside the next 48 hours.
Townsend has agreed to move to Selhurst Park after Palace triggered a £13 million clause in his Newcastle United contract.
Ritchie and Gayle are absolutely fine in the Prem too, but this isn't just a short-term fix.
I just can't believe Bournemouth are fine with this and he's willing to drop down. Madness.
Assuming after Sels, Gayle & Richie it'll mostly be free transfers or loans but I'm fine with that. Still think we'll raise a good £70-80m from Janmaat, Sissoko, Townsend, Wijnaldum, Tiote, Cisse, Krul, Perez & Thauvin.
Superb start to business
Very happy with this signing, although £22m for Gayle/Richie is more than I thought we'd spend all summer tbh. Madly high fees but we know they'll do the job post-promotion too.
