Where do you get the idea that Nketiah is coming to Palace? Arsenal, allegedly, turned down our bid. Will Eze be PL fit this season? I dont think so

I really thought we had sorted out our transfer policy over last summer. We finally focused on young, quality players who were in form. Olise and Guehi joined off the back of excellent seasons in the championship and have arguably been our best (permanent) signings.

I don’t understand why our targets now are 2 players who have barely kicked a ball this season in VDB and Nketiah. They are both ridiculously overpriced and limited to positions we already have lots of options. The lack of consistency with our transfer policy is baffling.

I think the short honest answer is - We dont score enough goals out of the chances we create - PV says at almost every post match interview that if we had taken more of our chances the result would have been better.

Schlupp. He’s good he’s permanent and he is not going to cost £6m for 10-15 games.

I reported done deal and it wasn't.

Now they say done deal with Everton.

And I'm not sure that's fact.

From now on I'm reporting nothing till it's on CEEFAX

Or Eze. Of Rak-Sakhi. Or Scott Banks. Tired of seeing good prospects being moved on aged 23. If AWB had not come in to cover Ward’s injury he was due to be loaned out to Colchester. Would have been sold to Yeovil or MK Dons by now.

Of course, Mason Greenwood may have scuppered any deal

I think you were correct though

Deal done with the club. Everton has done a similar deal now

Van de Beek is now due to decide whether he prefers a move to Everton or Crystal Palace.

What makes you think that you know better than Patrick Vieira whether academy players are ready for the rigours of Premier League football?

DvdB Girlfriends dad is Bergkamp - played for Arsenal, he is more likely to have a decent house in London & the pregnant girlfriend would be nearer her parents - (mostly speculation on my part)

Everton - Haven't offered Lampard the job yet & he hasn't accepted - Maybe things will happen on Monday morning ? - So news now are asking readers to consider that Lampard on his first morning in the job demands that Everton sign DvdB on loan - Everton are in a downward spiral, would adding another wage bill to that help them ?
What assurances can Everton give DvdB that he is anywhere in their plans for the rest of the season, they dont even have a director of football or a manager with a plan - I am not saying he wont go to Everton but if he does then someone within Everton must have had a serious influence on the boy to get him to make that choice.
