Pretty sure he is just being diplomatic. He isn't going to ruin his relationship with players by calling them all shite and demanding they're all sent to Siberia.

Ironic, 3 years to the day following the takeover we may be about to see it's full benefits.

City win their case. Didn't realise the point they were making is how interest free shareholder loans weren't fair as they're basically the same as inflated sponsorship deals. Apply commercial rates to existing loans and most teams who have them will be in breach of PSR.

I mean, likely yes as he is due back after Botman. With all CBs fit he would likely be 4th choice CB. But that being said, think he is absolutely fine as a 4th choice CB. Howe had him back/better than the levels he hit under Rafa when he had an extended run last season.

Think it's going to be some scrap between J7 and Willock for that left hand side of the three CMs spot.

Stop. Creating. Threads.

Honestly think the final dick punch of this window will be this lad sealing a switch to Liverpool or Chelsea at some point today.

Look, if nothing else this window has seen of both Will and Pizza Rob. That alone makes it a borderline success.

Isn't the only journo who has tweeted this a known BS artist?

Do think he could/will be massive for us this season. Some paitence will also be needed, will likely be well into October till he is fully 'Eddie Howe' match fit.

By this logic Fabian Schar should be playing at 10.

Is this one of those Garth Crooks team of the week things?

Think if there isn't movement on this today I will actually start to buy in to the conspiracy theory that Palace/Parish have been stringing us along this whole time just to waste our time and leave us with no time to move onto an alternative.

I reckon we still have about 2 "looks to be off" followed a day or two later by "the deal is nearly done" rounds to go before we know one way or another. Seriously if we don't hear anything today then it's all eyes on the Palace lineup at the weekend for the biggest clue.

Am I the only one who has confidence in Krafu? Think he is totally fine as a backup RB. Much like the rest of the people here under Bruce, he looks a different player under Howe.

NO THREAD! It's clearly the kiss of death.

Wages. Not even close.

Sterling has Serie A loan written all over him. I'll predict Roma.

Never believe Spanish press trying to flog Barca players.

Don't really have any ill will towards Palace, he's their player, they can value him how they like, but it's time to move on now. He is good, but he isn't worth more than £65m.

I get that there is a line to be walked between demanding more, and just being happy we're not utter shite anymore. Personally I'm still at the point where I appreciate starting the seasons not scanning the fixtures wondering where 38 points are going to come from. I know this likely will change the more time passes, and clearly has already for some people (more power to them), but it's still where I'm at.

To be honest, I think that's more down to running into the City juggernaut than anything else. And with these charges against them it could be that this time period in PL football will always come with an *. Don't get me wrong, he became a bigger cunt the longer he was there, but I do think he count's as a legend for them.

Downie and Graves have both just said similar on Twitter replying to a thread.

If we finish 9th Eddie will be gone well before the end of the season.

Yep, the longer we go without the big journos coming out and saying the bid has been rejected/we are moving on the more likely it is that this was all just posturing from Parish.
