thenige Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 There's talk Freddie Woodman may be joining Leyton Orient on a season loan. Would make sort of sense if his Dad is moving down to Palace as well, them both being based in London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Good move for him like, regular League One football at his age for a year. Also, you just know the club will see it as Krul having one more year before cashing in, then Darlow starting the 16-17 season as number 1 with Woodman on the bench.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Think this summer is a win win situation. If we don't manage to get people in, Lee Charnley will have to be sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 We believing this chronicle story about no signings before 30th June so the balance sheet looks good then? Tbh it sounds exactly like a strategy we'd devise and stick to, in fact we'll probably look to ship more dead wood before then as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's totally obvious that due to the crass way this club has been run, that nobody with any quality either player or coach wants to come anywhere near this circus. Based on what? Charlie Austin's WAG not fancying it up north? Or the £20m price tag slapped on Troy Deeney? We could always lay down the £30m asking price for Berahino I suppose but somehow I doubt any club is going to meet these valuations. I can't see us buying British if this is what the market is like.

Yeah, if true, those valuations are ridiculous. With the TV money about to balloon, we may be in one of those phases where no-one quite knows how much players are worth. It may take a while for the market to settle down again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 As much as I hate Charnley, the British transfer market is ridiculous. 30m for Berahino is laughable. Not that I believe for a second it would take that much money. It's no surprise we look abroad, time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's literally impossible to tie up a transfer between English clubs for a decent player too, because they will keep asking for that ridiculous amount right up until the last day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have no sympathy for Charnley etc. However it's us who suffer because it means we always sign players who represent higher risk because they have never played over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which quite frankly is more annoying than the could-have team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More risk but if we sign actual proven quality from abroad rather than look to hit the jackpot with Riviere type punts, there are players out there. Southampton got Pelle and he's done alright. Even the likes of Ulloa can do a job as a target man at the budget end of the market. If we actually want to spend £15-20m on a striker we could buy one tomorrow.

toontownman Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Dont have any sympathy for someone who could have got us Lacazette and Grenier at a steal, now considering british players for £30m ! Albeit neither were reportedly that interested in coming. It's a stupid situation to be in and buying british for the sake of it when bargains can be had elsewhere doesn't make sense. Regarding the Berahino situation..When Sterling is being touted as 35-40m, the price tag for Berahino, while still laughable, is very realistically what they might hold out for.

Unless Chelsea, Man City or Man U are desperate to sign one of them, there is not much chance of getting that sort of money. No other club will pay it so I guess West Brom are hoping one of those clubs will bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'd pay £15 million for Berahino. Think that's fair. Think it's extraordinary them asking for £20 / £30 million when Pulis wasn't even starting him half the time, because he wanted a ginormous cranium to aim at.

Hughesy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 All the players we seem to be linked to seem just so unremarkable. We really seem to be targeting a lower level of player than any other summer I've seen for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
