I'm not panicking at all , hence I've hardly been on , for it's as expected we will be late window movers , and slow starters as a result . It's only possible to judge our summer on September 1st.

So we've missed out on Redmond, and he seemed a top target.
I reckon missed out on Townsend too and Batashuyi
Behrahino seems to be playing games and looks like we could miss out on Benteke, who I would be fascinated to hear why we are not in for him. If Benteke was a number 2 choice and goes before we get Saido he is holding all the cards, and I don't think it will go our way.
It seems we've been gazumped by Everton for Witsel too.
If we don't get any of Witsel, Behrahino and we haven't got Redmond I dare say I think we've lost all of our top targets which should be classed as nothing short of a complete cluster fuck
The years of Wenger and the media laughing at us has its effects, we've got a long way to go to improving our image to the footballing world and possible players
This was a big year for transfers, we should be close to finishing the squad and shipping out deadwood. At present it feels like the world is passing us by

I don't buy it about Peace. If you want the player you go hard and get him. We always appear to fanny around. I'm glad you're not anywhere near the running of my club ta.

We might be linked with 6 or 7 players in the media when in reality we've probably got about 20-30 targets depending on how the summer unfolds. Missing out on Redmond just means we'll be signing someone else who will tbh, be just as good or even better, same with Benteke.

So if, say, Southampton wanted Ryan, they could just 'go hard and get him' and that'd be that? How does that work exactly?

We were so close to sign him but then a French club hijacked the deal. We were all gutted and even Hughes said he was very disapointed as he thought we were going to get it over the line. Who was our back up target? A certain Marko Arnautovic.

Peace is a notorious pain in the arse for both his own managers and others when it comes to transfer dealings. He's made this an issue of personal principle over the last 12 months and to cave and sell him so early in the window - for less than the kings' ransom they'd originally ask for - would involve a certain amount of humble pie on his part. So he's unlikely to make this easy for us.

My comment came across as being a bit smart and it wasn't meant to be It was a genuine question as nobody from the club has commented on players we are linked with when in years gone by they've done just that ? Is it s change of tact or were we genuinely in for him ?

As I've said before to everyone, just relax because we WILL sign some good players, just got to give it time.

I'm also glad you are happy with the way the club operates and also treats it's own supporters. i don't think the club operates too badly , ok there's always room for improvement but steady progress since promotion , we are the envy of plenty of fans of bigger clubs than ours I can tell you that for fact . If its a dig at transfer policy your having then what do you want ? The own cheque book go out and get em approach ? Leeds and QPR anyone ? Oh and while we're at it , "treatment of fans " ? Are you for real ? We've probably got the best chairman in the country , no season ticket increase since being in the championship and free away travel again , the envy of most other fans again . You need to take a step back and get in the real world , we've been the 9th best team in the hardest league in the world 3 years running . That's Stoke City we're talking about , yes our Stoke City , not bad if you ask any fan whose been going since the late 70's

Palace signed 2 players yesterday and are reportedly very close to signing 2 more. All 4 of them would be great additions to our squad. I agree we should all calm down but it's a lot easier said than done! It's tough to watch our rivals signing decent players whilst we haven't done anything. I know there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes and that we will eventually get decent players to sign on the dotted line but the worst thing is the long wait over the summer. The window is just way too long. Should just be one month.

Proper target man, strong on the ball, got a fierce shit. If he can rediscover the form he had for villa before his injury I'd snap him up and personally I'd take that gamble!! It's what....TWO+ seasons ago since his injury....that was one hell of an injury!!!

So we've missed out on Redmond, and he seemed a top target. I reckon missed out on Townsend too and Batashuyi Behrahino seems to be playing games and looks like we could miss out on Benteke, who I would be fascinated to hear why we are not in for him. If Benteke was a number 2 choice and goes before we get Saido he is holding all the cards, and I don't think it will go our way. It seems we've been gazumped by Everton for Witsel too. If we don't get any of Witsel, Behrahino and we haven't got Redmond I dare say I think we've lost all of our top targets which should be classed as nothing short of a complete cluster fuck The years of Wenger and the media laughing at us has its effects, we've got a long way to go to improving our image to the footballing world and possible players This was a big year for transfers, we should be close to finishing the squad and shipping out deadwood. At present it feels like the world is passing us by Majority of those players are JUST rumours, are we actually in for them????? Stoke will be no doubt working their asses off to be getting players in and for all we know, it may not be ANY of those mentioned ...... apart from Berahino !!! They'll come, Hughes knows, Coates knows.....we ALL know, they have too to keep progressing in the Prem, stop werittin!!!
