I believe it's a NHS MEDICALto save a few bob.
We are waiting an appointment.

Palace 13th 2017/18.

I understand he was flown to Mumbai for the medical as it was cheaper.

as weve already overpaid for 1 left wing back now were properly getting our pants pulled down for another left wing back.

we may aswell play kelly & let schlupp cover him.

it just seems like were throwing good money after bad...thats all. if it was 3/4m i would be all over it but nobody on here would pay £100 for a pair of dunlop green flash so why are we accepting our football club doing so?

‘Football isn’t instant coffee. You have to work at it. You must grow the bean, grind it.’ Ian Holloway

Because we don't accept your analogy.
Like it or not, van Aanholt played and worked well under Sam last year and was part of a team that was apparently dead and buried at this stage last season. Nobody at Palace is currently playing consistently well. Whether that's due to fitness, confidence or basic ability is open to debate. The inescapable fact is that we need new faces to dig us out of the hole that is if our own making. If van Aanholt makes a positive contribution and we stay up, the money will have been well spent.

You needn't worry I doubt it will go through, I heard he has heart issues. As no announcement made after the medical, I expect we may pull out or renegotiate the fee.

Once upon a time we didn't really know much about players that didn't play for us and so any new player was of interest, just to see if they were any good. We've obviously moved on but I kind of look at this one as a bit of a throw back. I've heard different opinions and whatever happens it'll be interesting. A bit like this season. Love you Palace.

Proper excited about this signing. Finally got some balance in the team and just look at the strength in depth on the bench now with these two signings coming in. With the way the team is currently set up the below looks pretty well balanced to me!

Mandanna

Ward Tomkins Dann Van arnholt

Zaha Mcarthur Cabaye Schlupp

Puncheon

Benteke

Subs
Hennessy
Delaney
Kelly
Ledley
Townsend
Kai Kai
Remy

Add another signing which i believe we will, so i dont have to see Kellys name on the bench and you know what lads.....with the right performances we will be alright. I reckon alot of teams will look at us and acknoldge what were doing at the min.......that above team is pretty decent you know.

Thing that worries me is with all the water that's gone under the bridge what with the transfer request and all the comments from Sam about him and what not just hope it doesn't go pear shaped for him coz if it does his career will have a large black mark against it

Apologies if I am wrong but I've always thought Palace were more likely to release a statement early the next day rather than late in the evening...like I said I may be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if PVA was already a Palace player.

Out of interest why does everyone get so flustered? SA said he was having a medical that should be a foregone conclusion. So why is everyone in such a rush to hear he is now a Palace player?
