We need someone with PL experience or someone from the Championship who isn't new to the country. I don’t think there is any good PL player available now. Well, Benteke, but thats it. I don’t think there is a proven championship player without being overpriced (the likes of Brentford won’t even sell at all). Glad that we had Samatta, next one should be easier and without much of stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not available according to Woy and demonstrably not good for several seasons. Getting decent "PL experienced" players from another PL team in January in our current position is virtually impossible that's true Edited January 21, 2020 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had all the details with HMRC to hammer out and get all the relevant paperwork sorted well before the club had agreed to let us talk to the player and the player had agreed to come to us. I'm sure they would have been happy to receive speculative paperwork. In fact we should have paperwork submitted for every player that might be on our radar, just in case. Just cannot understand why we didnt do this. Baffling. 8 hours ago, av1 said: All this incompetence nonsense is ridiculous, does anyone really believe there is a single person at the club that wouldn't have preferred signings through the door on the 1st of January? 'But we knew we've needed astriker for months' - yes and spurs have known for 3yrs they needed back up for Kane. It's not that simple. It’s easy to be sarcastic but we knew we needed attacking opitions before Wes got injured, we should have had these sort of moves lined up. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy with the signing but feel we’ve dragged our heals in this window given the necessity for reinforcements. I hope I’m wrong but we may look back on these 3 fixtures and think if only we’d had a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s trying to play a hard ball and not give up easily. I won’t be surprised to see him going out on loan coming February. I think Palace knows that the only possible takers for him in the PL are us. No one else will take the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Surely Woy can see that insisting on only releasing Benteke for an actual sale not a loan doesn't exactly say a lot about the player & if anything devalues him further? It's like some dodgy salesman trying to force the money out of you before he lets you see the goods. "Avoid" would be my reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSteveUK Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Apparently permanent deal only for CB - £10m - but that would mean he would have to take a pay cut. - from £120k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's signed an extension until June 2021 assuming on less maybe 80k per week. Still garbage money for 4 league goals in 62 appearances and injured yet again.

That is obviously something the club has consciously tried to change with their summer recruitment policy, buying ‘potential’ rather than the finished article. It does make for a nervous time whilst they develop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
