Unfortunately, Leicester better infrastructure than us which will generate them more revenue. The king power is 20% bigger than Selhurst, add to that the fact that that new stadiums generate money 7 days a week, revenues from extra events such as 3 rugby World Cup fixtures, big investments from Thai owners and commercially they are probably a bigger brand than us.

It's going to continue to be very difficult for us to compete due to our financial limitations for a long time to come so the board are going to have to continue to be shrewd and very disciplined with all the dealings to keep the club on a secure footing.

We are still currently 12th in the premiership. That's a pretty good job so far.

Maybe he isn't. I tend to think that if Bruce was in for him then he is probably a decent striker. 6m is a lot but we paid the same for a player in a league below who had scored less in his career at that point as well...4.5m might be a bargain if we can make the deal.

The selling club can put any price on any player,
but at the end of the day a player is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
If Blackburn consider Rudy Gestede he is worth 6M, let them keep him until they can cash in at that value.
Currently no buying clubs consider he is worth 6M.

Where is the Joker shown, I haven't used it ?

Interestingly enough all quotes from the manager state that it is Venky's that have put the price on the player that needs to be met and not himself

12 goals in half a season is rather good and whilst Gayle and Puncheon are playing well and scoring goals Pardew is well aware that form is always temporary and those two could lose form as quickly as they gained it.

The transfer window is a mixture of poker and Arthur Daley with all the cards being held by the seller and as the 2nd Feb comes ever closer so do the stakes and the ability to know when to appear dis-interested and when to come to the negotiation table (they normally come together as a pair at the right time). The important thing is to know when to show your hand and strike at the RIGHT PRICE and in SP and his board we have this strength irrespective of whether you feel they are a bunch of tight a***s or not! Let Mr Bruce pay well over the odds and a the same time look at his purchasing history ....it isn't good!

For every decent player in the shop window there are probably a dozen clubs interested and the forwards having the greatest attraction for obvious reasons. This is by no means straightforward and the board will do what they believe is in the best interests of CPFC. As with most things Crystal Palace deals will go to the wire.

Bring back Brolin
