TK-421 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 There's clearly something in this. Too many journos reporting it and there's no smoke without fire. Why aren't we looking at signing him permanently now? Think that's the question most of us want the answer to. Money? Looks like we do only have the first installment of the Sissoko fee + whatever was left from the summer.... unless we can get someone moved on, and off the wage bill (Tiote?) Promotion? Still far from certain with half the season to play. A player like Townsend would help. But still a risk that we don't go up... and there may not be a sell on clause this time, and we'd be stuck with him and his (undoubtedly) high wages. I do hope it happens, but can see why we probably want to try and loan him (with a view to the summer) first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Do find this a strange move for all parties, but obviously he will improve us significantly so fair enough. It's not strange at all if you are of the opinion that it was a daft move to go to Palace in the first place. We resurrected his international career and gave him a stage to do his stuff. If he's finally realised that then at least it shows he's not completely brain dead. More worrying is that we are supposedly pissing about with the loan option. Again, I hope that's not true because you don't hire a manager like Rafa and then start penny pinching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace get a replacement till the summer (and someone Sham knows/likes?), then if/when we (hopefully) go up they get their £££ for Townsend. Everyones a winner!

geordiedean Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 What he did was the footballing equivalent of indulging in scat, but everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves, if he's learned a lesson then fair enough.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Townsend comes in and he's at worst the 3rd best player in the team. The second best attacker in the team. We aren't Liverpool or Manchester United. We get relegated and any PL team could take our best players. No hard feelings. It's not often you write a post that isn't full of shit, but this is definitely one of them. Agree with that in full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent a lot of money on squad & backup players in the summer, now we can't afford first teamers who'll make a difference in the title race. I think funds will be released for the right deal, but I don't think the club is particularly trying to find that deal, more waiting for it to land at their doorsteps and have a nibble.

Even then, the first parachute payment isn't a million miles from what we'd have got last year (I think). Clearly therell be a loss in other revenue but if we go back up first time I'm sure the hit isn't too bad. Or I might be talking shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I believe) About a third of what we'd get in the prem...so around £30m compared to £90m for finishing last. So we need to find £60m to break even, £30m if you include the other £30m Ashley just put in to service the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
