I would be very happy with Sounare and AWB, AWB and Schupp would be ideal WBs in a back 5, not Schlupp in a back 4

If West Ham buy that Chelsea LB then, according to BBC, means a summer spend of £125m. No points yet. Waiting until the deadline day when the overpriced panic buys have been taken up by other clubs could work out for us.

I imagine lots of people like bargains. In SP's defence I would say:
1) I think I'm right in saying we got in early for Eze 2 years ago.
2) We did most of our important business early last summer.
3) We did some early business this window. Doucoure dragged on because we couldn't haggle with Lille on price and ultimately had to pay what they wanted. I can see already why we wanted him.
4) I suspect we have a limited budget this summer after last summer's virtual extravaganza (in Palace terms) and the club/SP want to stretch it as far as they can.
5) The apparent interest in bringing back Gallagher combined with Eze's start to the new season has possibly complicated things in the midfield area.

Anyway, we still have another 9 days before the window closes and whilst it would be good to bring in a couple more before it closes, I don't see us being in a desperate situation requiring panic buying. Also, I suspect there may well be one or more loan options if needed.

PV said the same last year he wanted another 2-3 and didn't get them.

SP made up some excuses about having deals in the work but time running out and quickly changed tune to doing great business.

We must have money we have been linked with another player who went to West Ham who came in at medical stage so this means a fee was agreed.

why is it taking so long this annoys me with Palace take so long every time (its not even a case of we end up getting bargain prices in transfer fees or wages)

I would have expected a loan to have happened already.

AWB came on for United could this be a sign he will be used as squad player for them?

Dazza, which 2 off your list do you still expect us to sign, to go with the one that we have?

So it will have to be 2 from the 3 that remain…..I’d settle for that.

I was of the opinion that Colwill is on loan, as part of Curcurella deal

I think it is going to be a very unnerving 8 days for us before the deadline finishes, have a feeling Wilf may go, hope he signs a new deal otherwise i think 25m and we will take it

I can't believe that Chelsea are that keen on Gordon. He is really enthusiastic and works hard but last season his end product was awful. In a team scrapping for survival you need that enthusiasm, but I don't see him improving a CL team for a few years yet. If Chelsea want quick results Zaha fits the bill, but thankfully it seems that story may have been paper talk. Arsenal seem the only other viable PL team, but they seem to have an U25 policy.

I think we have a strong enough team to compete but if we are serious about progressing we still need a couple more of real first-team quality. With no real strong leads for a while it feels like this last week of the window might be a bit of a damp squib.

The Sarr collapse at Villa worrys me, does he know something and has been told to hold his horses, can i patent "Hold your Horses"
