I don’t know who’s more stupid, Palace for their ridiculous demands or us for being strung along by that goblin Parish.

Of course it’s us

Fucking amateurs.

I mean, I feel like we are a bit more desperate than before for a decent CB.  But we went back in for Botman after missing out the first time.  I wonder if that is the plan here.  Don't go in at a ridiculous price and chance your arm in January or next summer at a much more sensible fee.

 

Of course that significantly opens the door to a lot of other clubs when the price is more reasonable.  Clubs who could offer better terms, a better league position, Europe etc.

Again nothing of actual substance in either of those articles. Just hedging bets. 

In fairness if a load of journalists come out with the same thing at the same time it usually means someone has been briefing the media.

I think the reason we’ve persisted here is because we know that we’ve got next to no chance once his value starts to drop.

Just waiting for us to loan one of the bomb squad now and go back for him in Jan. 

[Kid Icarus]

There really is no sense of bedwetting or hyperbole about this like, it's been objectively pathetic the way they've gone about this.

Aye.  Probably true.  

 

Tough one, as all signs point to him being our number one target.  The same way Botman was.  So we were happy to wait.  But I think if we wait here we'll end up in a mess at the back with our current CB options and we'll miss out on him next year, anyway.

John Percy is extremely reliable as well, at least with Midlands clubs anyway

100% and we’ve only got ourselves to blame. The price they quoted was a fuck off price to begin with yet we kept barking up the palace tree. (Embarrassed twice in one summer by palace is indeed hilarious). 

[54]

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.

Honestly it's been laughable we're like a kid jumping for something being held just out of reach by a teasing adult

[Big River]

hopefully that's the end of this ridiculous saga now. he's shite anyway.

[Hanshithispantz]

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 

[Theregulars]

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.

[RodneyCisse]

Piss taking small time bastards.

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.

Because we’ve wasted weeks on it.

Aye, Mitchell and Eales 

[CheikBoom]

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

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.
