can't see this deal going though utd are taking the piss with the offer it's been going on forever they had 2 bids turned down and doesn't seem like they any nearer to our valuation of AWB thought UTD were a big club your having a laugh ain't trying to penny pinch and get him on the cheap

Whatever it’s for the club needs money, AWB wants to go and we have a buyer and would prefer to sell AWB than Zaha at the moment for football rather than business reasons.

The club is stretched in transfer business, wages and at the bank. I don’t know what’s so difficult to understand about this. You cannot specifically say which area the sale is for because the club has issues in all major cost areas holding us back.

Whilst it’s obviously sad to see a young, potentially brilliant player leave us, we do need a sense of realism and perspective of what sort of club we are at present and who we are competing with.

Yes, we all want to progress and I believe we are getting better as a team and bigger as a club outside of this transfer deal which is quite simply too good to turn down.

We’re in a vulnerable financial position as it is anyway with or without the stadium developments and this money will sure appease the difficulties.

People need to think about the holistic elements of Palace as a football club, not just an 11 man team.

I doubt whether anyone will put in "serious cash" unless they have a controlling interest if not 100% ownership

On the BBC Sports News, there's a piece from Aidy Boothroyd, the England U21's Manager, in it, he states that all this speculation has affected him & has had his head turned.
He also states that, Obi-One is a quiet & shy lad that doesnt say much or let his feelings known. Boothroyd also said that talks & the medical were done in a hotels not far from Englands base.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

NOPE.

Phil Jones may not now be England quality but I think he would shine for Palace. Sort of versatile player that Roy loves. On £50k a week (apparently) at United so not out of the question but it all depends on how much they value him at.

Obviously not popular on here though!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Actually, they haven't.

I'm most certainly interested in Palace being a PL club and that is because I'm not an idiot. And since, as you suggest, I have supported Palace for 50 years, most of which have been in the lower tiers, you should have already realised that your statement is dumb before you posted it.

Harris and Blitzer will be seen as a good decision if they stump up the money for the stand as claimed. If not, then what were they for?

Haha,we don't won't Phil Jones,give us the £55 million and take out Zaha sell on clause or f**k off.

We don’t need Phil Jones unless a CB leaves. We have 4. Sakho, Tomkins, Dann, Kelly. We don’t need another Prem wage level CB.

We don’t need, or I hope want him as a def mid.

Negotiate hard.
