    Reports in Turkey suggesting Kamil Grosicki is flying there to complete a move to Bursaspor.

    No doubt sustainability will get an airing.

    Problem with the sustainability card is, in the long term it isn't sustainable.

    As I've said before, there's no sense in trying to make the club sustainable unless they're planning on sticking around. They are supposedly trying to sell, so either they're lying (and not trying to sell) or they're trying to sell AND make the club sustainable, perhaps to entice a buyer.

    I can understand about making us sustainable but the way it's lookingthat sustainability Is going to be in league 1 or 2 as it looks like they are refusing to pay the going rate for championship players.

    I think they're hoping clubs will abandon claims on loan fees, or greatly reduce them, as the deadline draws near and parent clubs will be lumbered with the wage.

    Trouble is, most of our rivals seem not to be doing this, therefore meaning we **** out.

    That said, there's probably enough out there to improve a lower Championship club but at the same time, can we really see much (if anything happening)?

    What ever does or doesn't happen, I reckon we might well see a 'Salibur' again.

    With the cost of running a club of our size, surely sustainability would be best in the Premier League, given the prize money available? I can't see how a team with a 25,000 seater stadium, a pretty decent youth set up and a sizeable squad on decent wages could earn income without investment from somebody else?

    Players should be lucky to get what they're offered, Norwood obviously was a greedy **** with a greedy agent.

    Nothing to do with Norwood. We couldn’t/wouldn’t meet the Brighton asking price.

    Not when you have already agreed to 2 stage payments. I agree from the beginning they should have asked for the lot up front, but if you have agreed to do something then you should stick by your word. Not something the Allam's is good at.

    But to get in the PL you have to wildly speculate Sterling. Apart from one or two exceptions.
    Some clubs are going to be in **** street end of this year or the next season.

    Your "IF' is way too small.

    There you go Ehab.

    Crystal Palace have become the first Premier League club to offer players to sides in lower divisions for free, on the condition they are picked to play.

    The Times via BBC website Gossip.

    Edit: Jason Puncheon?

    Oops we'll have to wait

    Crystal Palace have become the first club in the Premier League to write to lower league clubs to offer them loan players for free, but only if they are picked for the team.

    The offer has been sent to all clubs in Sky Bet League One, League Two and those in the National League. It was made amid growing discontent among lower-league sides at the amount that top-flight clubs are charging for loan players.

    This will be the same Crystal Palace who are managed by Woy.. Who spat his dummy out and slated us while boss of Liverpool I think it Was, when we loaned one of their players and complained he want get enough game time or got injured (something like that). From memory seem to recall it being a goalkeeper but again my failing memory may be wrong

    It was Ayala, we refused to release him early from his loan when he was injured and they claimed we'd made his injury worse.

    I agree if we lived in an ideal world but sadly we don't. I know thew Allams have a track record in this regard but first off we're taking the word of Artur Klinski as gospel and we're assuming Buraspor's president is telling the truth. In fact he could be just as big a twat as the Allams.
    Second if I'd agreed staged payments with someone then found out or heard something to the effect that the second payment wouldn't be made I think I'd want to renegotiate the terms.

    Still think the Allams are twats but they might not be the only ones.

    If I recall correctly, RH was just using us as a diversion from the pressure he was under
