Not sure of the loan rules but he does NOT need to be included in the 25 man squad we announce at end of the month.

Enrique must really be struggling if he is behind Sakho - every time I see him play he looks clueless. There must be better options out there.

As you say it was in the press at the time and neither club disagreed. A loan fee and agreement to buy at an agreed price with loan fee taken into account

With Murray Reading said such an agreement was in place We (SP and Colin I think)said there was no such agreement and that Murray was going to Reading to get game time on a short term loan and this would be reviewed in the transfer Window.

In contrast with Sanogo there are no similar rumours about a long term deal.

I think it is perfectly possible we will try to buy Zaha in this window but he is still not proven at EPL level so 5 million (plus loan fee) is too much, considering the 2 Spurs wingers are reportedly not much more than that. I suspect SP will try to renegotiate the purchase fee to nearer £2 million ( which probably equates to around 5 with the loan fee etc). The real question is do Man United want to sell and I think they do

Zaha still wants to go back to manure he said.

Offer them 2 or 3 mil max....why would you pay more for a squad player....hes no better than ince was.

Completely agree about the buy rather than loan.

I have no issues with the player, those saying he's not good enough for Liverpool, so what? We are Crystal Palace. He is the most proven realistic option. Everyone else would be a gamble but we know we'd get a decent Premier League left back for a mid-table side in Enrique.

But it doesn't show much ambition if we have to loan him. That seems quite desperate actually. Sanogo makes sense because he's an Arsenal youngster, the Zaha situation makes sense and if we could loan someone like Ashley Cole that would certainly make sense because he's out of our realistic price range/stature for such a player.

But I think we can afford a couple of million and be of a decent enough stature after 2 years in the Premier League to lure someone like Jose Enrique to the club without much hassle.
