In our financial situation, if Chelsea were willing to send us players as a favour we would have had 4 last season and 4 this year. We burnt bridges, we arent being sent any life boats....as Mr Jody Morris alluded to. Burnt bridges? How so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to know why we didnt tap into that excellent relatiobship and get some quality on loan from Chelsea last season, or this.

Maybe the new management staff didnt forever want to be seen in the eyes of some as "they only did alright because the previous manager gave them a load of good players to say sorry for pi55ing off to chelsea" Some of our support still think Lampard got an easy job as let's be honest mount, wilson and tomori are premier league players. Put them in any side and they will get you 30points in their own with individual performances and goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Cocu went with the recommendation of Marcel Brands for Dowell, and Paterson was a last minute get a body in the door signing, in likelyhood recommended by someone with better knowledge of the league. January I assume we were embargoed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Bam Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Connor Wickham is my shout. Can hold the ball up, pretty mobile and always thought he's had an eye for goal although I've not seen much of him recently. Think he's had a few injuries which is a bit of a downer but down the pecking order at palace and potentially available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I had a watch of the Bosnia v Poland game earlier in the week (mainly to check out Jozwiak) and thought that the lad who was playing up front for Bosnia looked pretty useful. Elvir Koljic. Plays for Universitatea Craiova in the Romanian league. Already scored 2 in 2 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was in his 30s, surprised to see he is only 27. Also his current market value is 1 million, so we could get him fairly cheap, certainly no more than 5 million, although wages would be high. A loan with view to perm could work.

It's a fair price, about what Palace paid 5 yrs ago, count up his goals and appearances since and it's in the ballpark. Only if Anya's the pitcher, mind.

There was a comment Jody made around Sep/Oct last year regarding the way negotiations were handled for compensation for his and Franks services when he moved to Chelsea. Along the lines of you didn't do us any favours when we were trying to leave for Chelsea. Why would you expect any favours in return?

Inverurie Ram Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Rodney Trotter, has the Peter Crouch meets Ian Ormondroyd look about him, bound to be good in the air, and he can't half throw a ball, and I've heard we are in the market for him! or we could try Bob Martin again!

He posted "Those who burn bridges, then ask you send a boat", (sic) without any context or explaination well before he and Frank left the club for Chelsea. It certainly wasn't September/October time, and was definitely before his leaving message posted earlier. If you mean a different message I apologize, and look forward to you posting it.

A quick look shows that Reading have been interesting in Pedro Mendes, hence why I think they're keeping an eye on that part of the country.
