been more impressed with Dickinson than Barker....he has more of a physical presence

I believe Dickenson is quite highly regarded at the club, I have been a little surprised not to see him on the bench at times this season. Still only young though.

But I'd love either of them to be given a chance, while at the same time appreciating the risk involved.

SSN did say last night that Sharp was likely to be heading out on loan.

They also said that Southampton are playing hardball and will only let him go if 100% of his wages are paid. So that makes it seem. Very unlikely that he will be coming.
I think it'll be someone who has just been pushed down the pecking order of a Premium team but are still part of their plans. ie fourth string from City, Spurs, WBA...

The word Push was written on the front cover of Bros' debut album 22 times.

What's yours?

Well apart from the train punctuality stat, somewhat of a passion of mine, I do enjoy comparing The Major's attendance figures to pre AMEX attendances to see if there is a positive correlation.

Pretty sure they will have to come down from that expectation. They are probably hoping a parachute payment team come in for him but if they don't they've got no chance.

Why is seaside allowed to post in this thread it has nothing to do with the gimps?

I'm going to guess that it will be one of the three perennial loaness: Obika / Kane / Afobe.

Surely it must be our TURN to have one of them?

Sharp would do it for me. Stains might want 100% but can't see them getting it unless Adkins goes in for him. FFP or not I'd imagine we've got a bit in the kitty given our lack of activity and he'd be perfect for our needs.

How many goals has Wilbraham scored for Palace over the last 6 months?

If we are looking for a decent impact striker on loan we could do a lot worse than Kevin Phillips. He could also bring a lot to the training ground and the dressing room.

He has ZERO in 24 league games.

FTR Super Kev didn't defecate on the floor matey.

Nor did anyone else, but don't let that ruin your story eh?

Phillips? No thanks. Wilbraham? Good grief: we're after a striker, not a big, immobile carthorse who makes Michael Ricketts look like Lionel Messi.

And personally, there's no need for me to be "glad Ulloa is staying", because I was 100% confident he wasn't ever going to you (or anywhere else) at any point this window.

Quite. What are Josh McEachran & Andros Townsend doing this week too? Not strikers I know, but as you say, we must be due a go at some stage.

Can we not just ban this tedious c***? Please f*** off back to your own board you inbred ****.

Am I the only one sick of all the Palace mongs on here over the last few days?
