These were not the comments of an "Attention seeker" in any shape or form and those who truly know me,as opposed to those who hurl barbs from the safety of a keyboard, will attest to the fact that I am not a gentleman of ludicrous grandiosity ever willing to be at the forefront of the debate for self-promotion. I have nothing more to add on this matter, may the debate PLEASE concentrate on 'Latest News'.Thank you. Given the thread is entitled 'latest news' I wouldn't hold your breath. We could all indulge in the make believe world of another if we want however... Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

This is an important window for the club . It’s been as chaotic window as I can recall with merely good or even inexperienced and unproven players requiring transfer fees in excess of £50 million. The agents (and Brighton) are having an absolute field day. Over the last few days the papers would have you believe - Olise to Chelsea or Manchester City Anderson to Newcastle Guehi to Manchester United or Arsenal Eze to Tottenham Doucoure to Liverpool I hope none of the above materialises and in recent years we haven’t been a selling club, only really losing Bolassie and AWB and even then on our terms and for good fees. I think we have a different model to Brighton who practically invite bids for their players and welcome interest, confident that they can replace those who leave with even better. In contrast I think we are trying to build a team and want the players to grow together to emerge as a team capable of pushing into the top 10. If we lose two or more of the aforementioned current players this window it could mark us down as another selling club like a Southampton who have all but given up hope of progression. Some will disagree and think Freedman will pick up some more gems to instantly replace those who may leave , but it’s not that easy with Brighton being the exception to the rule.

Just heard Simon Jordan bemoaning the signing of the Ecuadorian captain, Ivan Kaviedes. He said Dowie 'slung him out of the door ' after 5 minutes as he was no good. He contrasted this to Brighton who sold the Ecuadorian, Caceido, for £115 million. I couldn't remember Kaviedes at all and, looking him up, he only made a few appearances for Palace.

Name rings a bell but as you say didn't make too many appearances. We have had a few foreign duffers. Seem to remember the Hungarian "Wayne Rooney", more like Mickey when he played. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld
