I do hope so, but got a feeling this could be another P diddy saga..
This story is 100% true.
Two reliable posters on the BBS (Clapham Grand and Sandown Eagle) have both confirmed we are trying to sign Davids. 2010 are unhappy the story has been leaked to the press.
I expect they are! I'd imagine that it's a lot harder to get a deal done when the story breaks prematurely.
Not only that, people like Warnock may try and beat us to the signature!
I can see that happening!

Which is usually why the player's representatives break the story - to see what other offers there are out there. We'll see on this one...

That qoute :-"I will personally eat my fingers if Davids plays a solitary minute of Championship football with Crystal Palace"
And has a sharp knife ready,gives me the impression that he doesn't reckon this is gonna happen.
And makes out the P Diddy rumours were unsubstantiated, although it has since been proved that really was a thin but concrete substance to that one, is this guy from Findus?
Well I hope he has to and gets indigestion.

He's reputed to have been training with Ajax. So really have no qualms about his fitness (apart from, that is, match fitness).
If it's a pay as you play deal; and is willing to fit into the club's wage structure, then it's a no-brainer, really. A chance to have a player who has done it, seen it, and worn the t-shirt. He would bring more revenue to the club and he's influence around the place would be positive (especially for young players such as Garvan, who would learn a lot from a guy of his quality).

With the communications system we have in place now it's virtually impossible to stop such stories finding their way into the public arena.
However,I don't thinks it's likely to be a bidding war with the likes of Warnock as I reckon it's probably be a one off situation.
I could well be wrong though.

have'nt read all of the previous post so don't know if anybody else has the same same thoughts as me but this has the smell of Thomas Brolin scenario to me. The only contract he should be offered (if any) is a stickt pay as you play deal. Not keen myself

The guy is a modern icon of free-flowing football.
Even if his being with us just enhaced our public image and helped to wash away the nasty aftertaste of jordan'n'warnocks reign I'd be in favour.
I think it would be a great addition to out young squad to have a seasoned pro like Davids on board!

If this is a goer what sort of time scale do you think it'll happen on? Would be great if we could get an idea of firm interest before the weekend and have it wrapped up next week

Hopefully in the next few days we will get a decision one way or the other.

Would be a brilliant signing although pay as you play is probably the best option for Palace, not sure Davids would agree with that though. Still can't truly believe this is going to happen but hope it does.

If he wants to choose us for the london lifestyle then our only chance of being gazumped would be QPR or god forbid Millwall, and maybe Watford then?

Watford are in all kinds of financial problems arent they?
Doubt they would even appeal because they dont even have a history.
