The old adage of take everything with a pinch of salt, until you see them holding the shirt smiling, is still true today.

Edited by dazza (29 Jan 2019 8.34am) The trouble with divulging names is that transfers can be scuppered at the 11th hour and one is then criticised on forums like this. I recall all those years ago being informed by someone who at that time knew Nigel Martyn, that he was travelling up the following day to sign for Everton.He did travel there but then Leeds also asked if he would meet them the same day.He signed for Leeds much to my surprise and to the surprise of the person who informed me about Everton ! The whole transfer business can be convoluted and protracted ending in disappointment and just when you believe you have got your catch, it gets away and goes to another club.

Edited by dazza (29 Jan 2019 8.34am) I think most of us appreciate the insight Dazza, transfer dealing are always murky and someone will have an agenda. Regarding Tosun so far the push back from been from the club rather than the player. I hear that Everton are currently paying £750 thousand per week in wages to players they want to shift. They want rid of Tosun so they are hoping to sell rather than loan. My guess is come transfer day if he hasn't gone they may decide a loan is better than nothing. That said I am not sure we need him now I would let Wickham and Benteke get on with it and see where we are in the summer. One more point

Edited by dazza (29 Jan 2019 8.34am) So now we"te going to sign a forward midfieldet and/or defender (haven't mentioned a defender begore) do whoever we sign yoursource was right. I appreciate anything can happen, which is why I take any 'sources' with a pinch of salt. TBF your source has only mentioned names that have been in the papers and one by one fallen through. The two we have signed he didn't tell you about , or at least not until they happened. In the meantime people seem to get excited by your posts. I'll wait until Tuson actually signs on Thursday before I get excited, although I really can't see it happening.my source tells me were waiting till the last day to get loftus-cheek back on loan, which I think is still possible. But of course that coukd fall through at the last moment. Edited by spartakev2 (29 Jan 2019 9.20am) Edited by spartakev2 (29 Jan 2019 9.44am)

He must be on more than Dann and Roy is probably quicker than him nowadays.

Originally posted by s.rix@xtra.co.nz 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. I read every single posting on the CPFC 'message Board' and every time I look there are 3-4 negative posts versus 1 positive/optimistic post. 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

We still have one loan space available and I’ll be very surprised if we don’t use it. We’ve been linked with Tosun, Bolassie, Mcarthy and Cahill but I don’t think it will be any of these. Hodgson wants another striker so I’ll watch tomorrow’s developments with interest.

I would be fine with no new signings if we can keep our powder dry for a bit of investment in the summer.

Didn't someone from the FYP Podcast suggest that we were waiting on any RLC developments? Using our final loan place on Loftus-Cheek I'd be happy with. We only have 19 fully fit squad members (according to the podcast) so another midfielder would seem about right. We have 3 strikers already and I can't see anyone available who is better. As W12 suggested, I can see the board looking to the summer for any improvements up top.

Originally posted by Mapletree 5 goals in two games not good enough for you? Whilst of course I was delighted to beat Tottenham one has to put the win in perspective given the relative strengths of both teams.Our weakened team beat their weakened team so I cannot take too much from the win. Looking at the strikers, Benteke is back from injury and when did he last score ? Wickham has scored but with his recent injury woes there is always the chance he could break down yet again.Ayew has been far from effective and until recently was being pilloried on here.Sako hit a bit of a 'Purple patch' last season over a month period but overall what has been his contribution to the cause ? There wasn't a great demand for his services in the summer and I suspect WBA supporters haven't been too critical of their club for allowing him to leave. Of course I hope these strikers come good and fire us to safety but I suspect quite a few of our supporters might not be so confident that they will make positive contributions. Probably one or more will score tonight now that I have posted this !!!! Edited by Willo (30 Jan 2019 10.40am)
