Hope we can stop paying his 50k p/w and make him wait until Marseille offer a fee remotely close to his ability. I hate shit like that. I would be all for a rule that says that not only can a club stop a player's money immediately but that any transfer as a result is increased to twice the value, and to include a 50% sell on clause.

Dave Posted June 24, 2017 Author Posted June 24, 2017 Any loyalty bonus in his contract should be null and void at the very least. Something went on that Allardyce wouldn't put him on the bench over Speroni. Sad situation all round as he's a class Goalie that could have been a club icon. Quote

Administrator Stan Posted July 4, 2017 Administrator Posted July 4, 2017 the real reason is to keep vampires away https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40497542 Quote Crystal Palace have kicked up a stink around Selhurst Park this summer after using garlic to prepare their playing surface for the new Premier League season. The Selhurst Park pitch has been having problems with microscopic parasites that weaken the roots within the turf. Liquid garlic is a pungent but effective way of treating the problem. "Think of your garlic at home and times that by 100," Palace head groundsman Bruce Elliott told cpfc.co.uk. "We have a problem with nematodes, which are a microscopic, parasitic worm-like creatures that live within the root zone. "When it gets in there it can distort the roots system and creates a weak plant that is susceptible to disease and wear and tear." Palace's first pre-season friendly at Selhurst Park is on 5 August against German side Schalke. Frank de Boer's side host Huddersfield on the opening day of the Premier League campaign on 12 August. Hopefully, Palace will have more luck with this unusual method than Darlington did with their own novel approach in 1999. The Quakers introduced 500lbs of worms to their flooded pitch to help irrigate it, only for them to drown. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 4, 2017 Administrator Posted July 4, 2017 Like Ake to Bournemouth, I wonder if Sakho will push through a move to Palace due to the successful loan deal during last season. He certainly settled in to Palace well and fans certainly took a liking to him. Wonder how much it will be for... Quote

Dave Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 It's a shame there's no garlic strong enough to deter some of the locals from living round there. 1 Quote

Dave Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 Southampton are interested allegedly. I can see this continuing throughout the majority of the summer due to Liverpools high asking price for a player they don't clearly want. I can't imagine any club in Europe will want to compete at that price. Quote

Given we've gone from being linked with Adil Rami, a defender with experience whose best days look behind him, to Davinson Sanchez, a young and expensive investment, makes me think the media haven't got a clue about what we're doing.

That would be a good outcome for both club sides i.m.o. Great defender but no chance of future time under klopp. Very capable of filling a van dijk shaped hole in the saints backline and at deal would still leave them comfortably 30m to the better....

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 6, 2017 Subscriber Posted July 6, 2017 Quite liked how he played Palace and realistically he has no chance of a great amount of game time at Liverpool. Quote

Dave Posted July 19, 2017 Author Posted July 19, 2017 Jairo Riedewald has signed for eight million. The general feedback from those that know him is he's a top half Premiership player so for eight million it seems like good business. Quote

Honey Honey Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Quote Crystal Palace have signed Netherlands defender Jairo Riedewald from Ajax on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Riedewald, 20, previously played for new Palace manager Frank de Boer at the Dutch side, making his first-team debut under him in 2013. He made 93 appearances and was part of the 2014 Eredivisie title-winning side. Riedewald is Palace's second signing of the transfer window after Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek joined on a season-long loan deal. "It is a great opportunity to be working under De Boer once again," Riedewald, who has three caps for the Netherlands, told the Premier League club's website. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40710117 Fee rumoured to be £8m Quote
Dave Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 From what the people that have seen him play regularly are telling us we're getting a top half quality player who will suit what De Boer wants to achieve. We've done little business so far but what we have done feels pleasing. Quote
