Just the one.

On 7th August we are all excited about rumours everywhere of a major new signing and later we find out that that we have acquired another goalkeeper.

Then Kouyate arrives at Selhurst Park in the afternoon of 9th and is impressed by Roy’s plans. Everything looks promising until, at 16:58, just as he is about to put pen to paper, Sullivan phones him and tells him Porto will double whatever Palace are offering…..

We'll get one in out of the blue that we weren't linked with at all and barely anyone will know anything about them.

We'll get one in on loan from either Chelsea or West Ham.

One we'd have hoped to get through will fall apart as it's too late on deadline day after their team didn't get the player they wanted so will keep the one we want.

So 2 in total, maybe the other loan spot will be taken up in January, I expect a midfielder and flexible winger/forward.

If he's on anything like that sort of money, then what you've said will apply to pretty much every club in the world. Also, he will be priced out of the 'sale' market too, unless he's prepared to take a pay cut.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

December 27th. Just in time to get excited about the January window.

He's on 85 not 170

I think there may be more piegates with Parish before December 27th if there’s no signings before Fulham.
