The Prophet

Another take to add to the mix.

I don't think Palace were stringing us along, I just don't think we've met their valuation of their player yet.

It seems that our risk aversion means we'd rather gamble on the current squad than spend money on a player that isn't near the top of our list.

Neatly covering all bases.

Can only hope Edwards' bad news update is as accurate as his good news update.

Absolutely revelling.

Indirectly aye. It's his call to bring Mitchell in, but he's not directly accountable for planning and execution of the transfer window. If Mitchell ends up being a bad hire or the wrong fit, then fair enough.

Still confused why Eales gets roped in.

Are we looking forward to the talk of this being revived tomorrow, regardless of how true it is?

Downie's Tweet reads like we're trying one last throw of the dice to put a bit of pressure on Palace. Not that I think it'll work like.

I'd imagine Texor will want to sell, given what's going down with Lyon and Everton.

I guess if this isn't done in the next 24 hours, we'll wait it out, similar to Botman?

Mitchell has probably had very little input into the window mind, in terms of targets, etc. We’re all just guessing though.

Nah, I genuinely think if there was nothing to spend they'd just tell us. Maybe I'm naive though.

...it's not a Mike Ashley window though.

Some very tough, serious questions.

Nope.

Doubt we'd be in for Guehi if we had no budget.

So reading between the lines, they've raised the price after Riad's injury?

Interested to see how the next say and a half plays out. I wonder if the club feel under pressure at all.

If I could ban anything on the forum, it'd be this phrase
