I don’t call that decentI said decent not great, I think he's one for the future who's clearly shown enough to be offered a deal, that makes it worthwhile picking someone up that late.

I doubt anyone’s on a low wage at city now sydAll relative I suppose, in comparison to Vale and Salah I'd say someone coming in who whenever he's been asked to start hasn't looked out of place and is (presumably) on a pretty low wage I'm pretty happy with.

"kick out"Every time ? Think they might twigg
Coyle?It's definitely a long-term project and it's been made harder as we have to alter some of the business done last year but I'm pretty happy with the window so far. It's also easy to forget but Jones, Macca, Coyle, Slater and Vaughan have all signed long-term deals this summer too. It ain't exciting but it's really necessary and they've all got their best years ahead of them.
No I didnt. I was thinking about his "best years". To be honest I thought he was older than 27.

You would think so. I like him. Maybe his girlie hair makes me think he's going through a mid-life crisis.I'd say he's right in his prime, so might not be his best years ahead but they certainly aren't behind him.
I'm aware, but whether we're paying Newcastle or Darlow himself, the package is still under 2m and is more than reasonable. Hell, if we'd been quoted 2m as a transfer fee ignoring wages I'd have thought that was reasonable for him. Didn't we pay 3.5m for Sinik (no clue what he's on as a wage)?
If we signed Darlow to a 4-year deal, it'd take until the end of the third year for his wages + fee to have cost us as much as Sinik's fee alone.
Writing off the debt has no bearing on FFP. While they sold their ground and also wrote off highly valued player contracts during the grace period of COVID, they 'should' have been much more heavily restricted this summer, so I wouldn't expect them to be spending too much going forward.
Are you talking about Ebiowei here? He came through the Arsenal academy, not Crystal Palace.
I thought the other day when Rosie mentioned it, how is he not fit….turkey finished their season after us, he went to St George’s park for fitness. Ok he had a few days off for his wedding but I don’t suspect he ate all the buffet and wedding cake. So how is he not fit and if all these preseason fixtures are about fitness (like most on here suggest) why hasn’t he played. At this rate if we see him again it’ll be OctoberThis is the one that's ****ing us. Sinik. I can forgive everything else last window and I get this is with a heavy pinch of hindsight but Sinik's package is hampering us for his non existent output.
Even more infuriating is we haven't seen him this year and he's supposedly not even fit

I know but when he joined Palace from Derby he initially went into their academy setup, not the first team.
It wasn't just the fee, it was the overall package. He is getting £25k a week at Leeds and we would rather spend that money at the top end of the pitch as we have a good GK already here.Was specifically said that the fee was too high for Darlow, now with what’s come out today god that is a very embarrassing look for Rosie/Tan/Acun.
