Don't you have to name a 25 man squad by a certain date meaning they will have to wait now ?

Clubs do not have to name a full squad of 25 if they do not have that many contracted players and in this case they can add free agents outside the transfer window. However if they have 25 eligible contracted players, they must be named.

This is why they had to release the player above, or they would have had to include him.

I think they released him before naming the 24 which allows a potential free transfer. (May be wrong)

I can see Steve Parish picking himself as Centre Forward - much like the PE teacher 'Mr Sugden', played by Brain Glover in Kes.

That's a shame. Their goals are bound to dry up. Oh...

We haven't scored for 6 games, can't see it being too much of a problem.

It's an opportunity for someone, you have to expect the replacement (and the player bumped up onto the bench) will be making the most of their chance and trying hard to stay there when Benteke's available again. An injury is not always the worst thing that can happen.

This is one aspect of Palace's misfortunes I'll not laugh at with HemedStampGate hanging over us.

Why is this a blow to Palace? They've had him in the team for 6 games and managed 3 efforts on target. So what exactly are they losing?

I'd take Benteke in January for £8 million. It would be a gamble and I wouldn't want to pay much more.

Which would leave Parish without a nodding donkey to carry his sandwiches. Won't happen.

The thing is I'd rather he was fit because he clearly doesn't give a toss. Anyone coming in can only do better than him.

Palace will just use this as an excuse. Because their form before he was injured was brilliant.

Sam Allardyce must already be receiving phone calls from Parrish lining him up to return as the saviour in January - it's nailed on.
He will want Palarse about 5 points adrift from safety so he can still save them, whilst demanding about a £5 million bonus if he does it.

Big Sam is the new Harry.

One of many despondent posts on BBS this afternoon:

"I'm just angry that our board has allowed this to happen.

How many times does a last minute transfer get screwed up before you realise that is a bad idea to leave it that late? And for key positions as well.
The idea that it is good business practice is a joke. How is getting relegated good for business?

There will be repercussions at the end of this season for sure, when we are inevitably relegated. Don't be surprised to see us selling in January rather than buying, because we could be down by then.

The whole thing is a bloody disgrace."
