Danjuma was one of those players for me, a bit like Duelofeu, who I thought looked like a 'dangerous' winger and genuinely surprised there wasn't more interest in him. That's only through limited experience/insight however so I could very well be wrong.

At £27mil, I think perhaps he would not justify or fit into our general transfer approach these days. Post Wilf leaving perhaps a panicked, bigger money buy might happen but not now. Good luck to him at Spuds outside of playing against Palace and not massively fussed at this stage though would be happy with anyone coming in.

The prophecies of a 'busy deadline day' are familiar for me so I hold no great hope if any whatsoever. I won't ridicule the suggestion entirely but if we get even two, let alone more, players coming in I will be very, very genuinely shocked.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Present yourself as a representative of the HoL community CT and demand a response! Don't send nudes though... unless there are conflicting opinions on this from other members?

Is it just me but as everyday passes I am getting more convinced that we will end up getting no one.

Leaving it to the last day of the winter transfer window plays into the hands of the selling club. They will know we are now desperate and if they have no need to sell, then the price will go up. Summer window isn't as bad as there is the fallback of the winter window, but if a club doesn't get it right in the winter window then the consequences are potentially worse.

If there was been internal squabbling between the owners over money for transfers then the impasse will have cost them.

Why?

I would imagine that he has got someone working for him handling his social media, at least inviting further correspondence & opinions -obviously it remains to be seen how much notice anyone takes notice of whatever gets submitted into that inbox but at least its a conduit into the conversation -

Also announcing we won't be making any permanent signings.
Either give the manager at least some of what he wants or get him out and Dyche in to work with a miniscule budget.
Also the embarrassment of some fans clapping Gallagher after scoring a winner against us, and the desire of ex palace so must be ok.

That sounds like it was written by someone for whom English is not their first language; are you sure it's legit?

Anyway, as the minutes tick by our metaphorical arousal softens and the hopes of a happy ending grow weaker. Please Mr. Textor, grab the hand cream and "bring much more to our heart club on its evolution".

Are you sure you are Palace? Referring to us as 'Stripey Nigel's' is very millwall sounding' Obviously you are not because you can string a sentence together!

The list of clubs that have come up and gone down again is endless. 10 years in the prem for a club our size is quite an achievement. We were a yoyo club but we now have stability.

We have had cup runs with trips to Wembley. The ground is pretty much full every week regardless of the previous results.

And as for the ground being a s***hole. It may well be but its our S***hole. Rather that than the soulless stadiums some clubs have.

When you see that Everton are saying that Gordon is £60m you understand that there is little value in the Jan window, unless you get someone from left field (no pun intended). Loans make more sense.

I agree with your post BUT the reason we need to dig into the market now, at arguably the worst possible time, is because (outside Doucoure's signing), the board failed so miserably to provide what the manager needed in the better market last summer. In short, the board made its own bed by failing to act at the right time; now they're having to lie in it by being under pressure to act at the wrong time. I don't have much sympathy for them as a result.

Based on our failure to address obvious squad limitations when we had plenty of time to do so last summer, I can't see why you'd be optmistic we'll perform better in this summer's window. Our board/owners (whoever they are now or in the future) need to take a long, hard, look at themselves and their approach to budgeting. It's not helping the club to progress as it presently stands.
