Totally agree, but find it a little annoying we are dictated to by bloody Palace. Just hope that sometime in the future we can hold a gun to their head. Non the less, he is a bloody good player.

Palace told us what it would cost to get the deal done, as is their right. At that point we had a choice. I’m delighted that the club showed the ambition to bring in a potentially game changing player. I can’t see that Palace have done anything wrong at all, I’d hope we’d do the same.

Can’t wait to watch this lad running at Bogle 😁

If it's true that us, Burnley, Leeds, Hull and was it someone like QPR? were sniffing around it sounds like they could almost name their prices anyway as if one club didn't agree the other probably would.

If he's here because he wants to play for United after spending some time with the club then he's alright by me
 
It makes you wonder, though, about the dreaded "Parachute Payments" and how a lot of teams in the Championship hate them and think that the only reason relegated teams can build a squad and get promoted back there, is because we have money to throw at new signings.

But thinking of our new signings - and let's take ourselves back to the start of this 'new season', all those players that moved on that left us with a pretty threadbare squad. We we're probably in the same boat as Wednesday, and a lot of Championship Teams, in regard to who we had as players. Yes, we had the Parachute Payments - that could have allowed a team to throw that money at players, but as we know, the Prince hasn't really got that much money to blow it all on a 'Premier League Return' season.

The main point of this new season, hasn't been, who can we spend our Parachute Payments on, but 'what is our standing?' 'How attractive are we, to players, who want to progress?' Also, in the mix is 'How well have we progressed youngsters from established Premier League teams' and finally, 'what teams higher up in the League, see teams that will progress those players?'
Being in the Premier League for that first season, and our return, and our development of youngsters, is a far bigger pull than who we can blow cash on.

Someone mentioned it in a thread somewhere (I think it was Bob Flatulent), we are attractive to youngsters, and to loan players. It's not the cash, or the wealth, but our reputation.

We've basically established, what I think, is an automatic promotion squad, not by using the Parachute Payments, but by simply being one of the best, and attractive clubs that young players, loans, freebies, and out of contract players want to join.
Yes, the parachute payments will help the Prince to cover the financial losses, but we are miles ahead of teams like Wednesday, in regard to attracting players to come here.

Let's not worry or put the club down, after this transfer window, it's obvious, we are a better run club than some on here would have us believe!

TLTR? Even without the Parachute Payments, we now have a baked in reputation, that will attract players, for the foreseeable future.

I can't remember al the details but a couple of seasons back or so I was looking at either a Middlesboro or Sunderland forum at transfers rumour stuff. Either we were supposed to be selling to them or buying from them. Can't remember the player for the life of me but I was curious in seeing what their opinions were.

I remember one of them remarking how they'd been looking on our board and saw we had someone called Rifleman claiming to be ITK and wondering whether it was the same guy that they'd just managed to get rid of from their board . The general consensus was that it probably was because it sounded exactly the same and the general attitude regarding him seemed to be very similar to ours now.

Yup

At least we’ve wiped out the minus 2 points we won for not paying transfer instalments and aren’t under a transfer embargo.

I agree with most of what you say, we have a good reputation for looking after loan players.
However, I’m sure we have invested some of the parachute money into big wages so I don’t think it’s just our reputation as money always talks in football.
We have done very well on the recruitment front, I didn’t dream we could have been in such a good state a few weeks ago so well done to all involved including PA.
 
Exciting signing - one I’m looking forward to seeing pull on the red and white. That he’s been good in preseason for palace is a positive and he should arrive confident and ready to show what he can do.

I suspect a lot of the 2m or 4m is just going to include the fact we are going to be paying the 20k or so per week that he’s earning. And that we would have to pay for a first team player irrespective of if they were on loan.

Phrased like that to show palace is a favourable light by a palace journo. And you can see why the extracted everything the could after having knocked back a 15m bid for him. But we dont do similar on permanent signings like cooper - went he is also going to cost more than just a transfer fee.
 
Nearly got enough new signings with associated bed wettings for Craig David to make a come back

Harrison Burrows on Monday
Michael Cooper on Tuesday
Jes on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Beating (hopefully) QPR on Saturday
And chilling on Sunday.

All that panic and none of them went to Leeds

I've been hidden in the dirty kit bin at Shirecliffe since last Friday.

I can associate shirt initials with individual sweat smells. There were two new ones yesterday Coopers (Lynx and Aramis), and a new one (Lynx again and Joop), which I presume is JSR.

I'll report back later, post showers 👍👍

He's definitely here, same smells and a JRS shirt hit the bin just after 1pm.

There's another one that smells of sweaty moobs, Henderson's and Peroni. There are no initials on it - any idea whose that might be?

Anyway, my time here is done. Nip through the fire escape, home for a wash behind the ears, and go to go tomorrow.
