Looks like we are looking to off load Victor Camarasa and free up a squad place before the January sales start .
Betis I think will go for us cutting short his loan if another side comes in with the intention to buy which Palace obviously are not interested in doing at the end of the season .
Its a shame we were never given the chance to see what the lad could do with a run in the side but maybe its an indication that we are in for someone that Roy would actually consider playing .

I believe Norwich want him
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Probably a defensive midfielder

If the story is true it’s another example of the disconnect between the scouting team and Hodgson.
In many ways it will be less understandable than the exclusion of Meyer.
Camarasa has never had an opportunity unlike Meyer, who in fairness has never really grabbed his chance to date.
He was probably Cardiff’s outstanding player in the Premier League and certainly looked the part as well as being more robust than Meyer.
Hodgson maintains there is plenty of competition in the area where Camarasa plays, but it’s difficult to accept this as he’s different in that he can pass and shoot unlike the others.
If he had an opportunity and failed fair enough, but this isn’t the case.
It’s difficult to accept the argument about not impressing in training.
Many players are notorious as poor trainers , but come alive on match day but I guess we’ll never know with Camarasa.

We all know what will happen... it will be typical Palace... We will cut short the loan, he will join Norwich and be absolutely superb for them...
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Absolutely agree. I suggested a couple of times last season that there was a disconnect between scouting and management, and people generally disagreed, but I think the evidence is mounting.

He would be good at Norwich. Attacking style completely opposite to us

It's not working out too well for them though.

Did Bamford join them after cutting short his loan with us? Hopefully it'll go the same way as that. Not that I've got anything against Camarasa...just want there to be at least 3 teams in a worse position than Palace at the end of the season.

From what I've read it looks more like Victor Camarasa is trying to offload us and who can blame him

I'd be surprised if there is a break clause in his loan agreement given we have both paid £1.5m for his 5 minutes of football so far and have an agreed purchase clause dependant on games played.

The whole situation is bizarre, Either Freedman or Parish must have spent a lot of time to set up this complex deal, and then to not even play just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah Freedman even went over to Seville to get this deal done so I can't imagine him being too happy with Roy after his efforts appear to have been wasted.

It can't be to free up a squad place as we have 5 keepers in the 25 man squad. Just seems crazy that he hasn't been given a chance. Hodgson really needs to retire and be replaced by someone with an ounce of attacking instinct.

I'm sure we are all thinking "what if.." i.e what if he'd been given a chance and turned out to be just the creative midfield player that we desperately need.
And "if only" when he moves somewhere else and makes a mark.

If Camerasa moves on and is a success at another prem club,Roy is putting his neck on the block and could be fired.
Can't believe Roy hasn't played him yet.
He won't play against Liverpool as Roy will try and defend for 90 minutes and we'll get end up getting hammered.
