This one has officially reached Saga status 

 

Almost at the level of Roeder running the rule over Dirk Kuyt but hasn't quite reached that stage for me just yet

We have signed two first teamers though

 

Even with Botman out I'd be amazed if either of them are in anyone's strongest XIs, though. We've improved the squad but not the first XI. Failure to do that this window would be awfully poor.

Just to point out… these quotes are taken from tomorrow’s programme notes, which are usually written early in the week and printed midweek. So there’s nothing new or concerning in there, really.

I was thinking and hoping so but you never know with these things. I saw an interview with him and he seems like a “what will be will be guy”. Saying he used to chase the things he wanted e.g. he wanted to be at a certain place in his career by a certain time, now he just lets things happen the way they were meant to and doesn’t force anything.

It is definitely from their programme notes. It’s up on Twitter. So it’s not really news.

I couldn't envisage him saying in the Captain's Column in the Palace program, I'll play but i can't wait to feck off to The Toon.

 

The fact he hasn't, well feck him, don't want the clearly staying at Palace prick :lol: Mentalists on here like [emoji38]

That would be quite the failure and not a good look for Mitchell and you’d imagine Howe would be rightly fuming too. 

Agree with all, I’m not sure why but just landed on it. Nothing seems to quite fit what we need and can do.

We have no idea what he has told Palace and his agents.

 

He is a pro and obviously doing the “right” thing.

Yeah just sounds like standard programme stuff, not really much substance in it. I’m sure he meant what he said but it’s not really pertinent to any potential transfer.

No bothered either way now, I know he has to keep Palace fans sweet in case he stays there but if he is really happy to stay at Palace and is not pushing for a move then I would have some concerns about his ambition.

Bored with the whole thing and would rather get someone else who is as good and come back next year for half price.

I think today's the day I've officially checked out of this one. I no longer give a fuck if he signs or he doesn't, it's dragged on for ages apparently over just a few million quid. Neither side seem to want to be the one who gives in and both seem prepared to take it to the wire. 

 

Fuck it, I'm cool with whatever happens with this one now

Everyone is drained by this but equally nobody really knows what’s going on. Only Mitchel, Eales, Freedman, Parish and the player plus Howe probably know what going on. There’s clearly posturing or some kind of logjam over the price and payments which is stalling things. 


There’s still time for this to go through and we also may have a second option lined up in case it doesn’t. Part of me would like to see us sign Topsoba (unlikely) just for sheer shits and shits and giggles re Parish. It might all work out fine and I’m usually pretty optimistic so I think it will.
 

However we are at risk of looking like cunts if we’re spent all this time and don’t get Guehi over the line or a suitable plan B. Every man and dog knows we need to upgrade both R CB and RW and Mitchel (who I think will go on to do really good things in this PSR world) + Eales aren’t exactly going to look great going into this new season if the first 11 hasn’t been strengthened.

Yeah, I meant squad rather than in our strongest 11.

Keep forgetting about Kelly. Who’s the other one? Hall? I know what you’re saying but it doesn’t really feel like a transfer. 

 

Osulu, both signed and straight into the first team squad. Kelly will see significant game time this season imo.

That’s probably a more concise version of what I’ve written below 😂
