To be fair, we only had to worry about it with very occasional signings. The Welsh clubs in the league have to deal with it for virtually every signing they make :lol:

Might even be because after applying for a work permit, I have a feeling Kadıoğlu would need to leave the country again for immigration purposes (even if he only flew to Paris for the day- I'm sure there was another Albion player before who did this. Jahanbaksh maybe?) and then return. You'd...

O'Riley won't need a work permit but he'll still need international clearance as he's been playing in a league which comes under the jurisdiction of a different football association. An anomaly of this is that every time Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham or Newport County sign somebody from an English...

His existing club has tweeted that he was on a flight to the UK to talk to Brighton, ergo they have evidently agreed a fee and given him permission to speak to us. He will have told the Albion he was interested ages ago, as otherwise they wouldn't have bothered pursuing it, and he will have...

Can't see the club selling him now for a second. He lost two thirds of last season to injury or illness, and is working his way back, but before he got the injury, would have had every top club in Europe casting their eye over him, and also Chelsea. His value now will be lower than it was last...

There was footage on some Turkish Twitter account yesterday of him going into the London hospital we evidently use for medicals. Perhaps he met up with O'Riley for coffee while he was there.

It appears they are favourites to sign the most Crystal Palace player there has ever been, Eddie Nketiah. I'm not sure what to make of him really. I don't think I'd be desperate for us to sign him. He's 25 and seems to have hung around at Arsenal for just a bit too long. No mug I'm sure, but I...

Er...OK, now I've seen another replay and it was a clear cut, genius, deliberate handball by our favourite Schijthuis.

If you don't like replica shirts, or want to be snobby about having names on them, then leave well alone as this is not the thread for you. Assuming you're not so precious: who have you got, or who are you getting? I had Mitoma and Estupiñan last season, but I have a personal rule of never...

No, but they're dusting off the banners they were waving back through the dim mists of antiquity in....February.

I thought the catering team were fantastic today. Left the top on my bottle of Coke, which is a right result. Don't tell PB!

He refers to Nancy Dell'Olio as "the Italian one" which is quite funny.

Anyone watched it yet? Just got into it and it seems pretty good so far. Very poignant of course (I thought at first it was a bit ghoulish given his terminal illness but it transpires they started filming six months before his diagnosis). They showed footage from his stellar club management...

I reckon Carlos and Georgi Rutter are going to get on like a house on fire. Both always smiling, both love playing up for the camera, both just seem like smashing guys, and are native French speakers. I sense a BROMANCE incoming, and I very much look forward to the club videos.

Own up: who poisoned Reynolds' pre-match sarnie?

They need money coming in, not simply players getting temporarily off the wage bill. Their annual points deduction is going to hurt even more this year after the start they've made.

If any The Leeds United supporters witnessed that celebration, they must have felt very conflicted :lol:

When I was a kid, Liverpool were dominant, so it was them I grew up loathing, with their army of plastic fans. I was reasonably pleased when United, in Fergie's words, knocked them off their perch. Equally, watching United decline since Fergie retired has been great. They've been average for...

Couldn't help but have a satisfying scroll through Palace Twitter after that, and I really do recommend it. The best bits: (1) Mateta, after his goalscoring run at the end of last season and during the Olympics when playing against a load of U23s, was getting some stick. Hopefully his hot...

I was too busy being grateful it wasn't Dunk taking it to worry about Billy swatting it straight into the wall.
