UPDATED: Dale Stephens SIGNS 3.5 Year Deal

[El Turi]

A deal can't be very close if he is playing for Charlton tonight.

Starts for Charlton tonight - let that be a lesson to you Mr Bridcutt

May be the club put bid in today.

 

[portslade seagull]

god this is starting to get desperate. I'd rather we didnt sign anyone rather than the Palace scatter gun approach to signings. I'm quite disappointed that Oscar with his Spanish contacts hasn't got any Spanish flair in and Burke seems to have over estimated our appeal to players.

Wait until the last day scatter gun will be pointing everywhere, can't believe we have had bags of time to replace both players that have gone but yet once again we fail to deal and leave it to a last minute poke and hope

Agents holding out for the best deal, for themselves.

That's how it works though, it's brinksmanship by all the clubs involved. No club wants to sell a key player unless they've got a replacement lined up, hence Bridcutt hasn't gone to Sunderland yet.

On the last day there will be a frenzy of activity as usual, Jim White will spontaneously combust, there will be reports of sightings in all sorts of places and snippets of hugely exciting player news.

And then we'll sign Dean Hammond.

Oh. Improved deal at Charlton it is then.

Are we running a scheme whereby we get a cut from the agents that use 'interest' from us to get new deals

You beat me to it.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

jones is assistant coach not a manager for good reason , nor is he head of recruitment for good reason , he is assistant coach thats all nothing else

Well, you can't argue with that sort of in-depth analytical assessment.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Stephens is so obviously going to get injured tonight.

Stephens is so obviously going to get injured tonight.

Makes you wonder how serious we were, most clubs would insist on the player being withdrawn to prevent potential injury .. AKA Bridcutt

 

[Surf's Up]

If he does play tonight it would indicate that at least he's not suffering from the Bridcutt Syndrome.

 

[Footsoldier]

You beat me to it.

Was meant to say we sold Barnes without getting a replacement in and agreed with what you said.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

We don't sign players unless they're injury prone...

Perhaps Charlton haven't accepted our offer.
