Palace to sign 2 attacking signings by 12... apparently (merged)

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I would piss myself with excitement if the club tweeted about 2 attacking signings TBH. You can rely on our clubs tweets though!

International clearance from Wales?!

I wanted us to sign Earnshaw a couple of years ago, but suspect he is past it now for Championship level. Would make a good signing for Crawley or anyone in League One though.

Maybe Palace building for next season?

It really is though isn't it. No blue and white specs or anti Palace thing.. IT's REALLY bad! REALLY bad

Am I missing something?

They are signing two players it's taking a little bit longer than they expected. Not really sure what is embarrassing about that?

Now if they didn't sign at all that would be a different matter.

International clearance from Wales?!

Yes. We needed it for Ryan Harley.

I would piss my pants if the signings fell through.....

it makes them look important

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Or perhaps the players have turned up at the training ground, taken one look around and said "seriously, are you kidding us?" and decided to sign for Brentford instead.

...... the Arthur Waite stand during their tour of the ground.

 

[CHAPPERS]

So they've signed a Cardiff player who has issues with booze, an injured winger from Barnsley and Yannick Bolasie?

Joke club

Yep you sure are missing somethnig - the point.

I'm reffering to the fact that a) Their chairman is on twitter b) He openly chats to fans about things and leaves himself open to abuse / awkward questions etc c) Have you seen how unprofessional his tweets are - and tinpot.

If that were Bloom i'd be embarrased...

It's a dangerous strategy to pre announce signings, because invariably people guess at signings way better than they are. Guaranteed to be a disapppointment. Especially as they don't have a pot to piss in.

 

[dadams2k11]

Looks like they are signing more next week.....

Have you cut and paste that line from their Official press release?

I think the fact that the owner/boss/chairman personally made fans aware that the deals would be happening by 12pm, as opposed to someone ITK, or on a transfer site, or other source. He, of all people, should know what's going on, so it's probably a bit silly to put something like that in the public domain without being 100% certain.

It smacks of unprofessionalism, to me, and risks alienating fans, or giving them reason to have less confidence in the board.

 

[glasfryn]

so does anyone actually know who they HAVE signed

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Hardly exciting players but I guess it fills some of the gaping wholes in their squad.

 

[gripper stebson]

A couple of them reckon it's Zamora - both think it would be an awful signing!

They are saying 2 of them will make BBS go into meltdown and if it was us (BHAFC) we would go into meltdown too.
