54 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 It'd be disappointing not to sign him, but if we have a price point that we're not willing to budge from, and they have a price point they're not willing to budge from, than its fair enough really. I don't really see how it's embarrassing for either side really, both clubs are just trying to protect their assets, which is again, fair enough.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I wouldn't take it as gospel that Palace have moved the goalposts like, unless they've just decided he's no longer for sale. The fact we haven't gotten either a CB or a RW in is absolutely mesmerising like, it doesn't even seem possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 You'd really hate to think that we were never planning to spend much all along, but something somewhere doesn't add up. Monumental risk taking by the club to proceed standing pat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree, that would only be on the basis that what we've been told by the media has been true. One way or another, the media have been absolutely wrong.... including the bald cunt above who said it was happening twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheikBoom Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Palace have hardly done anything wrong and I'd fully expect us to behave the same way when someone comes in for the likes of Bruno, Isak and Gordon. Move on, go get Simikan or someone of that ilk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monumental risk taking by the club to proceed standing pat. Yeah that's the only other thing that it suggests tbh. Because otherwise it really has Ashley era levels of incompetence about it. The worry is the club really doesn't want to invest further into Howe's image of the squad. Edited August 29 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more the fact it’s been dragged out until the day before the window closes than we disagree on price like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Will wait and see where we are tomorrow night but aye if we've really managed not to sign a CB or a RW this has been a fucking disaster Wouldn't read too much into a Graeme Bailey article like, will wait to see who else reports it.
