I hear in this thread that 2024 player sales are funding the £160m stand.

But almost always transfer fees are paid in instalments over many years. Whilst construction companies, architects and consultants are paid almost immediately. The former have to be, margins are tiny, subcontractors are usually paid promptly.

They’re going to have to borrow big from someone.

….and the squad will be massively weakened in the meantime. Shame. :lol:

Unfortunately Chelsea are offering BOGOF deals for any of their squad.

So I wouldn't be surprised if Palace end up with Trevor Chalobah and another decent Chelsea defender (Chilwell?) that the Cobham Cowboy bought on a whim.

Hopefully they'll run out of time and sign a couple of useless players in a last minute panic.

Chilwell’s game has massively declined, as an Albion fan I would be very relaxed that he won’t star for CP.

Scouse colleague at work reckons Liverpool are sniffing around Wharton…..
If they were to lose Guehi and Wharton next week………..
Wharton!

Another overrated player that looked like a world beater Vs teams with nothing to play for last season 😊

Palace the most undeservedly overhyped team last season....

Nonsense. That money was ringfenced years ago and is sitting there untouched.

Also when West Ham scored their first the hoardings basically gave way in front of celebrating hammers fans and trapped a ball boy underneath. Luckily he wasn’t really hurt it seems but what a crap ground.
The same hoarding that’s constantly fallen over like when we were there - typical of them to not act on an unsafe ground and not worry about sticking a kid right in front of it eh.

Probably not want you want to read.

Not ideal but played ok in both games IMHO the better side in both games, shit happens and hopefully Glasner learnt a valuable lesson.
