The main issue there is that you have Gus Poyet as your manager. Will he play him...

Which basically means he hasn't been sold, and it's not set in stone. As we found out with Notts Forest and George Boyd, if a club decide at the last minute not to but a player they can make up any excuse (not 20:20 vision) - so if Palace decide they don't want to buy Dobbie (eg, if he doesn't play well) they don't have to. Given that that's the case, if Dobbie is a world beater, we should be able to change our mind too (or up the price).
That makes no sense. If Dobbie (a striker) is scoring loads for you, and then you can play him, how will replacing him with Jonathan Williams (who hasn't scored all season) help?
I think it's because they play in the same position roughly. JW has only started a handful of games to be fair.
My first view of the Dobster last night and I thought he looked fair/good.
We normally play one or the other in the hole, just off of Muzza.

No chance. There's a gentleman's agreement in place that Dobbie won't be able to play for us if we face you in the PO semi's or against us if we play you in the final.

So, IS Dobbie the first player to score for both Brighton and Palace in the same season?
So? If Dobbie is banging them in, how is replacing him with someone that hasn't scored all season not a problem? You were talking rubbish.

No Trig, i wasn't. This is the problem with you, you think you're right EVERY time and that if someone disagree's with your opinion they are talking shite.
My point is that i believe Jonathan Williams to be a better player than Dobbie (who i still think is class), so Williams would get into my starting X1 ahead of him.
Calvin Andrew? Maybe?

Until we get the cash nothing is tied up but its a virtually done deal , Palace no doubt will end up saying it was only an emergency loan in the first place and it wasn't a loan to buy deal if he suffers a serious injury. I don't know what the situation is if another club comes along with an better offer for Dobbie before the end of the season as he is still officially our player.
And you think you're wrong every time?
At the moment maybe, but if Dobbie was banging them in (and that's what we're discussing here) then only a fool would drop him for Williams.
Indeed. It feels like an intent to buy, but either side could change their mind.

No, as the transfer has been agreed between the two clubs. Much like the Gary Dicker situation when he first joined, we had to pay a loan fee for him which essentially meant we got him in the summer.
Mr Pedantic strikes again...You keep talking about the hypothetical Trig, I'll focus on the real life here and now. Williams is a better player than Dobbie IMO so Dobbs missing the semi's or play-off final is not something that concerns me.
In regards to your last point, the fee and contract has been agreed for/with Dobbie and neither side can change there mind now, this has been confirmed by our board. He is a Palace player in all but name, he just has to 'officially' go back to you after 93 days as the rules don't allow him to play for 3 permanent clubs in 1 season but let's be honest, really he will stay on and train with us.
