Dave Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 From Crystal Palace. Sixteen million. Crystal Palace signing the best available talent in The Championship. If this is a dream. Dont wake me up.
The Artful Dodger Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Disappointed we've accepted such a low offer, I thought we would hold out for 20million. I'd expect a Newcastle offer now. Obviously given up on play offs with Grosicki also going. Just flotsam and jetsam now, hopefully stay up.
Lucas Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 It can't be that low surely? If it is, that will get hijacked by someone else I think. Got to be an option for at least 8-10 clubs in the PL if Hull are panic selling. Ridiculous price. Personally hope he stays now, especially if Grosicki goes. Would only strengthen our arm in the summer if we go up.

I'd be pretty concerned if it was Southampton, Wolves, Everton etc but if he would rather play in front of those toxic fans with an energy of feeling like hes underperformed every season then more fool him. Ed Aarons has also name dropped Ebere Eze as a plan b. Hed really suit us I reckon. He reminds me a lot of what Wilfried Zaha was like at his age. Albeit given Spurs have been tickling him like they did with Sessegnon 2+ years before they signed him so I think that may kick them in to action.

Could see him at Palace as well. Some players just fit some clubs seamlessly and he is one example of this. I can't see him at Spurs with Mourinho, isn't his kind of player at all. Should test the water with Bright Osayi Samuel too. That kid is going places.

N U F C Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 This was one I was hoping we would get over the line, would have been a good signing and I thought Brucey's Hull connections might have done us a favour. Bit of a risk but he's a forward player that scores goals, a concept that is entirely lost on our current players.

I haven't seen that yet. He's trying to adapt - and we certainly are still going for it, we're just not very good. But I like the way we're finally starting to retool with players age 22ish - it's what been needed for an ageing squad. Need a proper DM in the summer, but Ndombele DM Lo Celso is a great midfield three.

Winks can do the role for now but definitely needs someone else in there. I'm impressed though this window - Mourinho's come in and got rid of the two most toxic players in the squad, and brought in permanently two young talented players in Lo Celso and Bergwijn, plus Gedson. It's what we needed. Just hope we can get a striker tomorrow but not optimistic.

Hes definitely progressed exceptionally well this season. I do like the look of him but I think he could benefit a lot with at least another year in The Championship even if it means paying more in the future. I think the same about Pinnock and DaSilva at Brentford.
The Artful Dodger Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Hope Bowen picks Palace over West Ham. Don’t dislike West Ham like most seem to but club is a mess from top to bottom, think it could harm his career.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 31, 2020 Subscriber Posted January 31, 2020 Jarrod Bowen set for deadline day medical as West Ham beat Crystal Palace to £22m deal. West Ham are closing in on their third signing of the January transfer window. (EXPRESS)

Dave Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 I'm not too bothered about anybody that wants to sign for West Ham over us. Absolutely toxic fan base that make you feel like you've under achieved every season. They're one of the very few football clubs I see no perks for any footballer to join.
Dave Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 Apparently our offer for Jarrod Bowen was a loan. Yep that's it. A loan. What a shambles we are at the minute.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 31, 2020 Subscriber Posted January 31, 2020 Jarrod Bowen issues 'come-get-me plea' to Newcastle United as West Ham move stalls. (YORKSHIRE POST)
Administrator Stan Posted January 31, 2020 Administrator Posted January 31, 2020 West Ham medical complete...
Administrator Stan Posted January 31, 2020 Administrator Posted January 31, 2020 Bowen has joined West Ham.
Smiley Culture Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Big ask for him to go into a team battling relegation. West Ham’s recruitment has been poor for a while but this is probably their most positive signing for a while. Quite interested to see how he gets on.
