Defoe training with Spurs ahead of a move to Palace?

[Shania]

Swansea said they wanted to give Gomis a chance now that Bony is on his way. Anyway, not that he impressed that much against us....

[QPRDave]

I suppose others felt the same when we signed Remy and Samba. Leicester have spunked almost 10 million on a player that's been playing in the Croatian league and palace are willing to spend 8/9 million on gomis (who I thought was shite against us).

yeah could be mate.....must agree about gomis..

[superhoop67]

all these fowards can't touch Charlie Austin ,get someone in who can provide the chances ,or liven up Adel

[QPRDave]

Think its still early days tbh Dave and no one knows whats going on behind closed doors. BUT agree I think Palace and Leicester will make at least 1/2 good signings each. Especially Palace, reckon Pardew will really want to make his mark straight way...

and gesteade seems to be on his way to wba.

all the teams around us are getting stronger.

Feels gloomy don't it....as Fordy says we signed big a few seasons back and went backwards....

all jokes aside, i really hope we can stumble over the line this season mate.

but we do need management change for next season.

[stanistheman]

Don't think Crystal Palace will pay Defoe 80-90k a week.

They might if Pardew convinces Parrish that he will keep Palace up.

Can't see it myself, Palace's top earners won't be on half of that. Would also leave them with a massive headache if they do go down!

Anyone else got a sinking feeling?....I'm looking at Palace and Leicester making a statement, while we are sc###### around looking for loans.
Whatever else these signings will do, they will def give the clubs/fans a lift. I think we need a lift, i just get the feeling we've stalled

I have a horrible feeling that we are just being left for dead, two seasons ago we through silly money at a cr@p side that in hindsight was a mistake.

This season I feel that with a few million spent on the right players we will stay up as we have a much better
team with a good team spirit this time around.

[West Acton]

Palace won't spend big parish came in on back on administration and his whole tenure has been based on financial prudence

Our main aim this window 'has to be' getting someone in who can replace Hoilett. If we can get someone who can put a decent ball in then we're laughing IMO! Doesnt have to be a 'name' just someone who can do his job.

Who's to say that we won't sign what is needed... all this talk about us not having money etc could all be a rouse..
I'm hoping that we may all be pleasantly surprised.
If I were the board, I would sign Defoe, amongst others.
A decent winger, Townsend/salah esc, another defender and we're sorted.
Prem league safety I reckon with not a great deal of outlay ..

You have a decent argument there. Just frustrating, bearing in mind the importance, that it wasn't all tied up weeks ago, with them all being finalised early this week.

All the noises seem to be very down beat coming from Harry though.....He seems to be saying he needs money and the board are saying no ...I'll just have to bite me nails till feb 2nd

Remember this is harry we're talking about .... Don't believe all you hear I'd say.

I reckon the Defoe deal could be closer than we think ..
