The strategy is, presumably, to wait until the summer to improve the squad rather than burning our budget in January when options are limited and prices are high. Cabaye and Sako are familiar with Roy’s tactics so as short termist strategies go, it at least has the advantage of being one that can hit the ground running. If we were a global brand or the plaything of a gulf state we wouldn’t have to make these awkward choices. But we aren’t and we do. It’s not desperation, it’s reality. Personally i think we have enough to stay up with what we gave. (Because there are at least 3 teams worse than us). So I would rather get nobody in than get Sako bolasie and cabaye back, and rebuild in thd summer.

They are gambling on us having enough to stay up, as you say, and saving the budget for rebuilding in the summer. But as an insurance policy they are looking at these 3 players on short term, low cost deals, just to give us some extra depth in the remaining fixtures. It’s actually a very shrewd strategy for a club with limited funds.

Sako(done deal),Cabye and Bolasie,if also signed,have a multitude of strengths as ex players and must help to again keep us up in a challenging season.

It's desperation because of the reality and the reason for the reality is a matter for another debate. There are other clubs who are not a global brand or have connections to a Gulf state yet they wouldn't consider getting back players in their 30s who either have seen better days or players who did not really make a major impact, left their club and was eventually snapped up by a club at a lower level and not really made any impact there. Anyway I have made my views clear and it is now time to go out for a pint or two !!!! Edited by Willo (26 Jan 2019 8.09pm)

Whilst you may be right, unfortunately scoring goals isn't one of them. Personally I'd like us just to sign somebody who might be able to change this situation. I cannot see how any of those would make the difference to what we already have to staying up this season based on where we are now. 2 out of 3 had a chance to play with us this season but chose not to and left. Okay, at least we have gone from last January to strengthening the training 11 to this January to strengthening the bench. Who knows maybe next January we might strengthen the starting 11 ?

I’m with you on this one, if anything, those on short term deals will be trying their hardest to impress if they want it to be something other than short term. I’m probably referring to Sako and Bolasie here rather than Cabaye because he is only a 60 minute player max now anyway. It has to be beneficial in the short term.

Well guys I said we would be meeting at least 7 go to free up wages there still is a possibility of 1 more that could go. In regards to incomings there will definitely be 1 but am hearing there could be up to 3. My guess is it will be 2. Definitely a striker as we only have 3 and of which have just come back from injury. As I say these will not happen till Thursday. Thanks for the up date. Pleased that a striking option is on the cards.

From what I have been told they are likely to be a Striker, Midfielder and a defender however I think the defender is the unlikely one unless one leaves.

I am a long-distance follower of CPFC now (in NZ) but as I lad I went along to watch some of the Palace 'legends' including Johny Byrne, our best ever striking partnership and many, many more, Attillo included. As a follower /supporter, I urge every single fan to be more positive/enthusiastic/ supportive/ thankful to those that raised Palace from oblivion to being the developing PL team they are today. Instead of 'trashing' individuals' performances every week, I suggest we re-build those lacking in confidence-because EVERYONE wearing the cherished shirt needs SUPPORT not 'trash talk' criticism. Let's get behind Roy and his Eagles. He knows the difference between GOOD and GREAT and he deserves outlasting gratitude-not continual criticism! My grandmother once said...'Ignore criticism unless it comes from an expert'. Palace fans need to be MORE POSITIVE!! Well said mate.

Edited by spartakev2 (28 Jan 2019 10.45pm) Your right I have stopped naming names as the ones I were told did not come off but correct me if I am wrong but did our chairman not get one wrong either. Unfortunately in this window anything can happen and for Palace the deal has got to be right. I am only passing on what I hear and still stand by Tosun at this moment in time.
