The thread title annoys me. I may be wrong but it seems to suggest that we are not ambitious by definition. Why not just say 'Huddersfield bid for Chris Wood'? That would be more accurate.

We certainly seem to be busy at the moment in terms of scouting/negotiating with players!

You do get annoyed when anyone questions you, don't you? It sounds like Hertha Berlin, who came sixth in the Bundesliga, were keen to keep him and are only selling him due to his refusal to negotiate a new contract. That, combined with the fact Albion want him if we do sign him, surely suggests...

It's best to ignore the trolls. Looking at Twitter, it amazed me yesterday how many Palace fans were paying close attention to Albion having a promotion parade on the day they confirmed they had survived in the Premier League. You would have thought they'd have better things to focus on but...

I am genuinely hopeful we can survive (and that would probably involve finishing 13th to 17th). Of the teams who were relegated this season, Sunderland are a mess, Middlesbrough messed up their signings over the season and Hull had a chaotic summer with all the Bruce stuff. I am confident we...

I think this is the reason the top seven have been so dominant this season. Leicester came top last season while Southampton came sixth and West Ham seventh. This pushed the big teams into action. Chelsea and Everton who finished outside the top seven changed their manager. Liverpool had changed...

He is 25 so I think we'd struggle to get away with him as an under 21 player.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous posts I've seen on here, and there's a lot of competition. You quote one Liverpool fan, who is clearly as clueless as you, and then suggest he would be no different to Sidwell and Norwood, when he clearly is different (and much better).

Would be a great signing for us. Type of player we need to play 4-3-3 more and the kind of Premier League experience we lack currently. However, while this is more realistic than YaYa Toure and one or two others I've seen linked, I think even if he leaves Liverpool, he'll get better offers than...

I would be very surprised and unimpressed if he is even being considered. Very poor scoring record for Palace and no improvement on what we already have (let alone what we need at Premier League level). My belief is if people are being told players are on our radar, they aren't on our radar...

I can't see this. He would surely be back up for Everton at the moment (in a year's time with a brilliant season in the Premier League, then maybe he could be first choice for them) so Everton are unlikely to bid the sort of money we'd even consider. By staying here for at least a season, he's...

Yes, a player who will be key to keeping us up is more important than a trophy which, while I understand your thinking, will largely be forgotten in a short space of time. But there's no point in debating as you just seem to want to ignore the arguments that don't back you up.

It is impressive for someone to get the facts so spectacularly wrong. Not sure there is anything in that statement which is correct.

I'd also argue that Karanka not coping with the pressure was not that surprising. He had stormed out before a game last season and looked set to leave before he changed his mind. Didn't he miss a game they lost at Charlton in the process? Don't think Hughton will have the same issue.

Well clearly it is not as easy as you think as 80% disagree with you. Quite simply, the trophy will be absolutely no use to us next season (and most people won't care who won the Championship last season in a year or two). Stephens, on the other hand, will be a very important player for us next...

Given the recent form of them and Huddersfield, they have a point. I think they start the tie as strong favourites. However, as we know, in the play offs anything can happen.

Would be more funny if they bottle it again in the final

There is none. Just the way he behaved when we played Burnley last season. Karma for Middlesbrough and him (separately).

Not sure what the question is for

Especially for Ramirez. Never the same after Stephens dared to take the ball off him. Maybe we could put in derisory offers for him for a laugh (same as Burnley did for Stephens last summer).
