I actually dont think hed be that bad in his last 280mins of foootball hes scored 6 goals. Hes also a creative player and proven at PL level

Proven in what sense? He's got about 30 goals in 250 PL games. It's grotesque stats.

Are you ready for an Ayew masterclass Vs Brentford? 

[Wymsey]

He's on for Palace now.

[Cropwellfox]

Playing as a 9.

This will be happening, at about 6 million and we all Fvcking know it. Horrific, hate it!!!!!!!

Cooper is filling the squad with mediocre journeymen who we will be stuck with you for years. It's so depressing. 

[Dahnsouff]

Well this guy is not imminent I guess

He’s got less assists than he does have goals, 25 assists in 275 PL appearances 👀

[marcymarc666]

Jesus, we'll be signing Rustie Lee next as a centre forward !

[ealingfox]

Rudkin preparing the 10m bid as we speak

[MPH]

Ayew will get injured and throw our transfer plans into disarray…

[The Doctor]

absolutely honking, 6m fee and a 80k/week 3 year contract incoming

No way will it be 80k a week.

 

the reason we are linked to players like this and BDCR is due to FFP.

 

We are quick to moan when we massivkey overspend (based on FFP anyway) but this is the new reality if we want to comply with FFP.
 

Thats why the FFP rule makers are the ones we should be more p*ssed off with than the owners. They need to adjust the rules its penalises the sides with lower incomes and our income is one of the lowest

This thread is the one of the transfer window that just won’t flush!

Agreed, it reflects the managerial appointment of copper on the first place. We can all see it but unfortunately the board aren’t. It’s a real shame but it won’t change until Top either leaves or wakes up and  surround himself with people who know what they are doing. I don’t know who it is, but go out with your wallet open and go and get the best DOF and recruitment team you can. 👌

Tbf, we offered Vesty, Reid and Wilf contracts before Cooper got here.

Cooper really is clueless. He'll probably be sacked before the end of the season but he is doing untold damage saddling us with ageing journeymen on big wages for years. We're going to end up being the new Stoke.

@Finnegan do we need to put Nixon in a higher tier…?

[FoxesWalk]

£4m bid still in according to latest Percy article 

[Mark]

Everyone playing a part in this should be sacked for even considering it. 100x worse than Bobby Reid given we actually want to pay for him, horrific

[Babylon]

If it's a two year contract, and he's supplementary to another younger signing as well I don't mind him signing. But we know we hand out three year contracts and honestly the last thing we need right now is another aging player on three years.

Whilst agree with most of this one of the things I do blame the club for is voting in favour of these rules. What were they thinking?

We didn't vote for their implementation, I don't believe we were in the league for that vote. I think we've voted on changes though. Can't remember exactly, we've been over this before in other threads. 

[Edingleyfox]

I can’t see why Ayew would come on a short contract if he is still getting game time at Palace

I’d be tempted to look at Whittaker at Plymouth can play attacking midfield or RW bagged 19 last year and is only 23 so good investment
