Nothing new but the following made me laugh from the article..
'Cash-strapped Palace were only saved from going bust this summer by local businessmen Steve Parish and Martin Long, who have since said the days of extravagant spending at Selhurst Park are over.'
I must have missed all that money being thrown around

£1.5 million for Fitz Hall, £1 million for Nick Carle, £2 million for Ivan Kaviedes the list goes on.. These sums are all extravagant especially considering the performances from all three didn't warrant the price tags (in my opinion).
Those are hardly extravagent figures for a decent sized championship club and at the time of those signing were in around promotion/PL.Not saying they are peanut sums but I would hardly describe them as extravagent. I think Nick Carle for a million was a decent buy but Warnock never really gave him a fair crack whilst he was manager.

Loving the fact that all the same faces preaching prudence are now wetting themselves about Davids.
Anyone thinking he is coming to fit into our wage structure is blind he might well be on a low basic but there will be so many add ons.
Maybe 2010 have realised that season tickets/tickets aren't sold unless the floating fan is given something to look forward to.
He already has a place in London. He has media commitments and playing for Palace or anyone else in London "fits" well with what he already has going on. Not necessarily the expensive player you think
the dignified don't even enter in the game

He's had more clubs than Steve Claridge!
He probably had an attitude problem, but you could tell how talented he was.

It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Unless I'm reading it wrong I think he's referring to the new owners instead of Simon Jordan. The article's implication is that we are no longer meant to be making extravagant signings yet are being linked with Edgar Davids, though in reality CPFC2010 have thus far been sensible and prudent with their spending and he's supposedly going to be on a pay as you play deal.

Yeah ok maybe not extravagant but we all know that we ended up with massive debts under the previous regime and I presume transfer fees played a part in this.. Anyway, getting sidetracked!
I really hope we can get Davids it would be a great coup although Leicester were in this position last year and he declined their offer..we'll see

Certain posters who say they have seen or heard that Davids was at the training ground should be yellow/red carded - really pisses me off.
As you know Danns has 'tweeted' Davids, who is a regular user of twitter so it's worth seeing what his response is.

He was at the training ground yesterday
As Danny Butterfield wheeled away, arms aloft in celebration of his third goal – an expression of delight and astonishment on his face – a man seated beside me in the stands turned to his young son and told him that he would remember this moment for the rest of his life. I will too.
