High Five o Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 tbh, £2m loan fee for 4 months is bloody ridiculous. Not when you look at the bigger picture of money to be gained from promotion. Sure, tell Villa that. We spent in the summer, and on course for promotion. Sure Andros would be a good signing, but Rafa should get that squad promoted with our without him. My slight problem with all this is Rafas reaction, but I take the meltdown when/if it happen. How good is the squad though? We all seen what happened when we lost ONE player for 5 games. I believe it's good enough to get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 tbh, £2m loan fee for 4 months is bloody ridiculous. Surely that depends on if it results in 2m being knocked off the asking price in the summer? All the figures the last day or two were £2m plus £13m in the summer. Hence why we should've bought and not loaned for £13m yup, a decent winger for£13m that would have been good enough for our premiership squad. not many of those around unless you take a risk with someone from abroad. I've got a feeling the £13m release clause only kicks in at the end of the season, otherwise we could have just triggered it by putting in an offer. Either that or Townsend/us didn't want to commit to a permanent deal until we are officially promoted. Probably both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Gah. Still think we'll be fine but it's bloody stupid to even take the risk. Ashley, man. He's got to be due a heart attack soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If this is Townsend just not wanting to commit to us while we're not guaranteed promotion, I hope we tell him to fuck off in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm still baffled why we didn't take a punt on Bojan. Because we aren't a good proposition. Stoke, Mainz, Newcastle............................ its hardly Sophie's choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Sorry he's not coming but all the stats and history point to us getting promoted very comfortably. Obviously I would've liked a couple of signings but I can understand why we decided they weren't essential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nothing ridiculous about a £2m loan fee at all man, have you not seen the money being spent all over the place? £2m is absolutely nowt. Sean Dyche just been interviewed there. Said there's no value in the transfer window now. You either pay the money or you don't. Rafa wanted Townsend, those above him wouldn't pay what it would have taken to bring him here. Simple as that. We'll know in just over 3 months if it was a gamble worth taking. Personally with the transfer profit we made in the summer I would have invested most of it just to more or less guarantee being promoted. Now we're sweating on Shelvey and Ritchie being available from now till the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what it is then it suggests he's not really committed to us or Palace. Just seeing what takes his fancy day to day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think maybe that that transfer profit isn't held in a kitty just for transfers but is hoyed into the kitty with all other incomings to pay all other outgoings ?

I think it's been used to cover the losses occurred by being relegated, yes. Let's not forgot the reasons we've been relegated twice in 7 years though.

Enjoy your night crying on here though to be honest, we moved right next to the corner from the millburn paddocks and have always had a decent time at home games. just a shame the noise doesnt carry to the rest of the stadium.
