We are in a real mess if we're looking at players like Isaac ****ing 'Success'.
Winstanley resignation letter must be freshly penned if this is true
It must be horrible being you.

Seems more like a desperation scattergun approach to me than the fabled 'cluster' recruitment. I wonder if anyone still toeing the line will suggest this is all being calculably orchestrated.
Throw some bids around for some promising strikers, get rejected on a first bid and end up with Barnes and Success. Maybe not even them, since Naylor brought expectations down from two strikers down to one and more recently Barber from one striker down to zero.
Let's hope it's all a bluff.

Absolutely appalling if true. Even as the loan option with another good striker coming in. TB would want more than this. Still think the club will do better than this.
Exactly - Hughton said a few days ago he was happy with defensive numbers. We're now signing 2 today (albeit one extra if CG goes on loan)
We’re not going to get a striker are we?
Success makes niasse look like lukaku
I think fans taking the piss out of palace could end with some serious egg on face!

They can spin in how they want if that's their plan. Fact remains we have an injured Murray, who I don't think can cut it for 90 mins in the Prem especially when isolated (still believe he can play a part though), Hemed who is even less of a threat and the frequently injured Baldock who is not proven at all in the top league. This has been the case since April if not before. I hope the noises are part of a plan to not look that desperate. Not that other clubs are listening as it's their transfer deadline day too.
Any clubs that we're in negotiations with will be picking up what we say in the media about those talks, surely?

We simply must must must sign a striker or 2 today otherwise we are fecked. I don't care if it's a championship striker at 11:59 if we can't do any foreign deals. Even Billy Sharp is better than Hemed
11.59 may be a little too late
Alex Song off to Birmingham, possibly the most Harry Redknapp signing possible.
Sadly I am beginning to think you are right
Take the talk with Deportivo over Andone for example - we've allegedly already bid £17m but they want more. Do you really think TB/PB will risk putting anything out there that might give Deportivo a reason to think they can get away with upping their asking price by another million or five? Of course they're not.
No, Deportivo probably aren't listening to Talksport - but TB/PB realise that anything they say on Talksport might well get picked up by Sky etc. If they said "we need a striker and realise we'll just have to pay whatever it takes" and that made it onto Sky Sports News, then yes I reckon Deportivo would hear it.
