I didn't say that. If I were a Brighton fan I'd be delighted with the window so far. I like watching football and I've kept track of the major signings coming into the PL, yeah.

He's not an attacking midfielder. He played in defensive midfield for Schalke last season. He's also incredibly talented and would represent arguably the best signing of any side this season if we can pull it off. And he wants more than 80k per week :moo:

:bowdown:

I didn't realise the transfer window was over yet. We're expecting a couple of midfielders to replace the one we've lost, and potentially another forward as well. Bringing Vicente Guiata to the club was an excellent piece of business. He was very highly rated in Spain and replaces our weakest...

Why bother typing this out when a quick google search would've shown you that we paid £26m for him? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41080393

No, I don't think that his value has increased by 25%, which is why I didn't say that. £30m however is a completely fair price for a player that a) Palace have no desire or need to sell, b) is one of the best defenders outside the top 4 and c) is still only 28.

If he were to be sold we'd be getting every penny of our £30m investment back. This is utterly irrelevant though, as he won't be sold. "The pit of despair" is actually a rather positive place at the moment considering we've had a good pre-season and it's looking increasingly likely that...

Sakho was out for a few weeks with a calf strain. The medical staff cleared him for a return but he said he was still feeling the effects of his innjury and wasn't confident in his fitness yet. He came back to the side shortly after and was back to his brilliant best. It was a weird situation...

Immediately dismissable shite. That'd be the same Mamadou Sakho who has 28 appearances for France and has been a regular in both Europea League and Champions League sides? The only reason Palace were able to sign him in the first place is because he has had fitness issues. He's an outstanding...

Thanks for that no doubt well-founded guesswork. You know as well as I do that he was signed on a free, but you shouldn't tell lies because the other children might believe them.

Sakho has had injury troubles, it's true, but when he's fit he's sensational. The best CB I've ever seen at Palace. Fair enough, we can't compare Milivojevic to Bissouma, but I've no doubt in my mind that he's a better player than Stephens. There we go, ta. Sako made 43 appearances, many of...

Cabaye, Loftus-Cheek, Sako and Lee off the top of my head. £200k/w was a conservative estimate, it's likely to be more.

We had a bid accepted last night. Stop talking rubbish. We haven't signed anyone else yet, so it's hard to know how much they'll be paid!

Fair enough. I do believe that we'll strengthen, there are some pleasing noises coming from the media at the moment but we'll have to wait and see how it goes. You're not wrong, we've had a huge financial advantage over you in the last few years and you were playing catchup last season...

How on earth was I boasting? Palace had a large wage bill last season and that is largely because our squad contained several proven Premier League players. The likes of Sakho, Cabaye, Zaha, Benteke etc. have all been outstanding at PL level in the past and obviously command a hefty salary. By...

And yet we're bidding on players and he hasn't been sold yet. Perhaps (and I'm aware this is an outlandish suggestion) Roy was exaggerating slightly as part of a negotiation?

Palace were an absolute shambles behind the scenes last season - some of the issues were self-inflicted and some were just plain bad luck - and yet we still managed to survive comfortably and found ourselves in midtable after taking 0 points and 0 goals from our first 7 games. Roy's Palace side...

Like last season, you mean? Palace at one point had 50% of the senior playing staff at the club injured. 12 out of 24. Literally half. We still finished 11th and above you.

Murray vs Benteke was definitely a win for Glenn last season, but Benteke scored 15 PL goals for us the season before and was utterly brilliant. Last season's troubles were unexpected and out of character, hopefully he returns to his usual self this time around. Townsend has been great under...

I don't think we need to be worried about the strength of our squad. We need to replace those who have left (Cabaye, RLC, Sako) but there's still a lot of quality in there. The likes of Milivojevic, van Aanholt, Guaita, Sakho, etc. are all excellent players and would start for pretty much every...
