    Never forget that we are a selling club. Les would sell each of us if he could.

    Honestly, I wouldn't rule out that happening.

    He might be happy, because he's signing for W.B.A tomorrow. Lol

    That is very true. So true in fact that I believe it could, quite possibly, entirely invalidate my point!

    To be honest, I go back and forth on it, as well. It could also lead to teams being outrageously impulsive every time their form dips, or any number of other irrational behaviours to which football teams seem to gravitate.

    Worth noting: if one looks at other professional sports that have a trading deadline but no windows, a de facto window system tends to come into being. Trades are made in the offseason, followed by a lull where (generally speaking) only small moves occur, and a frenzy takes hold with a few weeks prior to the deadline, which is usually ~60% of the way through the season. So it could be that it would look almost exactly like the situation we now face, only with a few smatterings of activity through October - December.

    How much do you think we'd get for an old curmudgeon like you?

    If Palace wanted him, about £10m!

    WBA still said to be interested in Jay, but I doubt we'd part with him even with the arrival of Gabbiadini. Firstly, because Manola is untested in the EPL and, secondly, we'd be back to two strikers again with Austin a long term injury.

    To be fair, Charlie could be back in March...

    That said, for £10m his value won't alter between now and the summer really, so why take the risk? If it were £15m, id be tempted...

    Won't believe it until I see a photo of Les Reed's chubby digits pushing a pen into the hand of a startled looking young man

    Didn't they suspend bets on de Boer, then we signed Puel. Have little faith in the intelligence and insider knowledge of the average punter.
