Hope is beginning to fade on this one. Sh1thouse
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |

Let's be honest with ourselves guys... Was he ever going to choose to come to us??.... If I was a betting man I'd say he's never fancied coming to little old Palace!!
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

I think arfter our rumoured bid off £25 million that was rejected we ended out interest. he won't be coming to us, think he'll go to Everton which I predicted a few pages back. Or Sunderland apparently. I still think we are in there with a small chance

He'll only come to us if he doesn't get a better offer. Clearly not keen on Palace so if he signs it will be on deadline day. We shouldn't be spending £25m+ on one player. It's just not Palace. Would much prefer we spent more money on the Academy and buy cheaper, ambitious future talent. They're out there (ask Leicester) we just need to scout them!

I still think we are in there with a small chance I never really understand the fascination with Sunderland who given their supposed teams of big named players, have continuously battled to avoid relegation over too many seasons of late. Sunderland strikes me as a team to play for who do not mind spending big bucks for a mercenary response.

And how many times has that approach failed. We are in PL, the cost of players has just gone up by a good 33% if not more with the new TV deal. Look at Gayle I was one of his biggest fans but £10 million?

Sunderland strikes me as a team to play for who do not mind spending big bucks for a mercenary response. I read somewhere that Sunderland have to pay relatively high wages to convince players to move there. Mainly due to it not being fashionable place to live but also having a brutal team. I think Moyes will address the latter and they'll be comfortabley mid-table this year. It's difficult to know what's happening behind the scenes but the impression I get is that we're not 100% committed to buying Benteke (or Berahino/Sakho) and would prefer to shop around for a bit before meeting their excessive price tags. Fair enough to an extent but it's beginning to look like it will backfire.

Surely it's gamesmanship - We've come out and said we're in for 4/5 strikers but we all know CB is no1. Liverpool know we're their best bet to offload but now, two days after we officially state we're looking at 4-5 options, they miraculously find a few other interested clubs. I still think we're the front runners here. Also, Sunderland won't spend that sort of dosh on one player Edited by Palace_Jack (04 Aug 2016 9.56am)
