At this stage i'd be shocked if we don't get him. Brinksmanship on both ends, likely the same with McCarthy although he is much more likely to stay put.

 

Clubs will be holding out for the best deal until deadline end. Townsend obviously wants the move, the palace move has been a disaster and Sam doesn't seem to really rate him. They will absolutely make a loss come seasons end if they don't agree something now.

 

Yeah I think the deal will go through as well. I know it's tempting to think why don't we stop pissing about and just pay what it takes, but all clubs drive a hard bargain unless they are mugs. We aren't.

This is the bit that annoys us as fans though. Say they want a loan fee of 1m or whatever and we decide to haggle over it. That 1m (which is peanuts these days), could be a clincher for our promotion should we pay it and sign Townsend.

 

I understand them want wanting to avoid wasting money but there is a time and a place.

 

Wonder how much of a loan fee would have to pay? What's the going rate, these days?

I think its just a case of them getting a replacement first and then we sign him on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

They've already got that by signing Schluup. Not to mention they have Sako, Zaha & Puncheon who can play out wide.

 

Exactly. If Palace were to lose Townsend they wouldn't need to replace him.

We'll get him imo.
