Pancrate1892 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 If it's any consolation, I met him on holiday in kavos in 1999 and he was a bit of a twat. Kevin gallen was there too, slagged off Newcastle until I recognised him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 6 hours ago, The Prophet said: Not the greatest source, but seems to fit the mood music. To me this reads as we offered him the chance to stay at Palace and he rejected it, he's on his way!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 3 hours ago, Palace fan said: Personally not taking Football Insider as any form of source - aggregator of clickbait and no more - and recent snippet not news. Could still happen. My earlier response was that there was zero chance of Dougie leaving or agreeing to midseason. None. As it happens Palace now look an interesting prospect and I wouldn't take it as a lack of ambition to see how far that can go in the next 12-18 months. More an ambition fulfilled. Doubt if salary is the issue - more reassurances about direction of travel with outgoing transfers. Newcastle obvs have a higher ceiling but in some senses he'd be moving back. You still have a lot of deadwood to clear - that process is almost done at Palace now (albeit at a lower level) and has taken a good 3 seasons - and rationally until you have cleared the dead wood there are limits to how far you can go. It's about managing the departures as well as the incomings. Fighting the uber machines you need to make every pound in salary and transfer fee pay. At the level you're aiming for you really do need 22 starters with cover in every position to compete on equal terms - that will take years to achieve and otherwise you're relying on no Euro football and injury droughts. We don't really have much dead wood to clear out. Dummett, Richie and Hendrick’s contracts expire next month. Fraser will probably get a move in the summer, or go on loan again until his contract expires next year. Hayden and Lewis will probably go on loan again until their contracts expire next year. Targett is possibly heading that way but he has just been unfortunate with injuries, there's no one else that could be described as dead wood.

KaKa Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 2 minutes ago, gbandit said: Fair enough, got to respect his loyalty to them and they’re on the up Yeah, that's fair enough. We went about it the right way, didn't piss off Palace, and allowed Freedman the space to properly think it through and discuss further with Parish. He got himself a nice new contract, which is good for him. We absolutely have to make sure we are bringing in people that are all in, and so not at all mad at this.

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Palace have had about 6 good games They have some good players but their hyping because of one good run has been fairly mental imo. Ah well, onto the next one. Lots of good operators for this position imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 In all seriousness though, if he decided our project wasn't for him, or he was loyal to palace in the end, or just played the contract leverage game then fair play to him. The grass isn't always greener. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
