Ifill on trial after all...

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

How can he be an Albion fan and have played for CP?

A rumoured 9grand a week might have swayed him. That and the only other option being Leeds...

 

[sam86]

Trial, sod that, sign him up!

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Another player with a big point to prove so definitely the kind of player Slade appears to like signing. He has been very injury prone though. Is he fit? He used to be a very good player and if he can re-capture the form of previous seasons, he could be a top signing. Worth a punt I say.

I think it shows the direction we are going in by giving players of this quality a trial rather than just jump in with a contract offer only for them to be unfit.

 

[NF9]

Class player, would be a welcome addition.
Could this spell the end for Cox

Not sure he has that much to prove as has been brilliant in the championship and played in a cup final

Yeah, was being a bit silly.

met ifill the other week , dont really think hes worth signing though !

That I would doubt. Big Russ has always sounded a big fan of Coxy and (crossing aside) I think Deans form took a massive jump after Slade took the managers job.

 

[Napper]

Be interesting to hear the resident Palace fans opinions ?

I expect eight grand a week eases the guilt.

I'm not sure about signing him though, he's a quality player, better than Wright, but we have signed him, we've got Cox as well. I suppose he might play on the left, we don't seem to be looking at any left wingers.

 

[Napper]

Isn't Ifill a right-winger? If so, why do we want him when we've already signed Mark Wright? Seems like both would demand first-team action and big wages, so it would be stupid to sign both for one position. I'd rather get a lefty.

f*** that , teams going for promotion need strength in depth, besides I think he can play left anyway + up front if need be

Big squad - full of quality is what we need

There can be nothing more humiliating than being released by Palace so has huge point to prove. We know Ifill WAS a very good player but injuries and other factors have meant that his career has not gone the way that perhaps it should have. I note Millwall didn't snap him up last week...

 

[Del Boy]

Doesn't really make much sense unless he is cheap. We have Wright, I would imagine Ifill is getting some fitness with us until he signs elsewhere.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Am I right in thinking that Wright can play on the left? If so then that'd be perfect. I think Ifill would be a quality signing.

 

[Rookie]

If he is fit we have to sign him up simple. A fit Paul Ifill would rip this league to pieces. Still only 29 would be a great asset.

Navarro ain't a bad player either, bit defensive though.

 

[brighton_tom]

im pretty sure ifill can play on either wing. and the fact that he played 38 games for palace last season might suggest he is past his injury worries.

would be good to have some more championship experience in our midfield.

did any happen to see any of his palace appearances last season?

9 large a week? Color me skeptical. For all but the Real Madrids and Yankees of the sports world Rule One, Two and Three of player acquisition, regardless of the sport, is not to pay for seasons the player's already had. What's the usual peak-performance age for someone at that position?
