Its another example of other clubs being able to conclude business quickly and efficiently. Palace seem to procrastinate, bargain and "sleep on it", in the mean time another club come and wrap up the business in 24 hours. No doubt it will happen again before the end of the window. Dougie can spot a player, no doubt about that, but the business end of the deals needs streamlining.

Or maybe most players assume Crystal Palace can be outbid by most other teams, and they wait until a better offer arrives.

Exactly. Just bizarre really.

Not really it was year before and ipswich wanted £ 4 million. He then had a serious potentially career ending injury.
I suspect we decided that we could not afford another injury plagued player and were not interested. Swansea took risk and it has come off.

It was current Swansea manager Russell Martin who bought Downes for Swansea from Ipswich for £1.5 Mill rising to £2 Mill and W.Ham purchased him in a £12 Mill deal.

He has a 'Fire' to his game collecting 12 yellows in season 2019-20 and last season collected 12 yellows and a red.

Not ITK but sourced from the Athletic

“ Downes was at Palace training ground, talking with Vieira, when was whisked away to West Ham”
His agent is Mark Warburtons daughter.
So looks like everyone at Palace thought deal was done, maybe Dazza wasn’t far off

Seems better at collecting vards than scoring goals. Looking forward to playing ten man West Ham - provided PV has cured our tendency to lose against ten men.

He is certainly not a goalscoring midfielder, only scoring 1 goal in his last 72 games.
In actual fact he has only scored 4 goals in the last 5 seasons.

My last contribution prior to engaging in discussion today was at the tail end of April and perhaps HOL was all the richer for my absence !
Rest assured I never spent this period at some exotic destinations in high-end accommodation in the Far East !

Palace shows an interest. Player ends up at West Ham. Heard that before? Doubt West Ham has a scouting set up. It waits for Palace to identify talent and then outbids

We should be proud that a club who are playing in Europe in the coming season are interested in the me players as lowly Palace

I thought he was lured away from Palace to WH simply because he’s a Hammers supporter and it was a boyhood dream to play for them. Difficult for us to compete with those emotions.

 


The beatings will stop when morale improves.
