Its simply a matter of GOING LARGE in Jan on a striker.
The recruitment on the cheap of midgets hasnt worked. It really really really is that simple.
Anyone who doesnt see it needs to take their head out their arse.
Its a fair point. However its generally recognised that the club loaning still pays the wages (or in some instances the majority: such as Bridge, Ward etc) so I think that we could have actually got him relatively cheaply.
But like you say we will never know sadly while our midgets run round...
To be fair it is a loan with a view to a purchase so Palace could call him back in Jan I think when transfer window re-opens. HOWEVER I would be very interested to know why we were not first in the queue and that is the ONE question I want to put to whoever is in charge.
Did we miss a trick or...
