A number of our best U21s are out on loan (virtually a whole 1st XI of them). Despite that we're still competing.

Its not happening guys [Link]

I would normally agree, but if Doucoure and Hughes get injured we end up with a midefield of Schlupp with either Riedeweld or Luka.

Squad is paper thin. Look at our subs bench.

A bad run of injuries and 5-6 players out which isn't impossible and I don't know what we'd do as even most of the better youngsters are out on loan.

I think we should be getting a couple in, no matter what. The pace we work we will never get the 7-8 in needed over the summer.

Without being able to provide evidence, I feel that there may be problems at Palace. No funds, means no new players. If we survive this season (which I think we will), next season will be our final one in the PL unless big investment is made in the summer.

I’m pretty sure we’ll do some business this window as we do every window.
The issue will be if in isolation it’s another Plange or Balmer, who may or may not have a future role as opposed to somebody who can compete for a first team place immediately.
Vieira has quite reasonably in my opinion asked for this.
To those who say there’s no point in making panic buys , I would agree.
However, nobody will persuade me that there are no players available and within our budget who would improve the current deficiencies in our squad.
Frankly I’m fed up with the excuses and despite our current position in the table it would surely be a mistake for complacency as we’re only halfway through the season.
We’ve not been able to score a goal in nearly half of our games this season and if this pattern continues you could see draws and defeats but not too many wins.

Come on Gazza give us a glimmer of hope .

Wohoo , hope you are right .

Probably still better than what we've got!

So, the deal, that was a done deal a few days ago is now only a maybe that will go down to the wire? You must have possibly the worst source of information on here to have a complete turnaround in the space of a couple of days.

What is the point in loaning a player for 18 games with no option to buy, if he is worst than Clyne, no point, if he is excellent we just push his price up for someone else to buy, 3 RBs out of contract in 18 games,insted of 2.
