TrueOwl Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I would have him back if we sold Rhodes because I think he'd do better under Carlos because he's pace-y, he's tricky and he doesn't need crosses which is good because he's not going to get any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomas613 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 All well and good another player that can score in champ however doesn't guarantee CC plays to his abilities just like with Rhodes. So what's the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) If he's not turning up unfit and still injured it's a yes from me. Been saying a while now why keep signing players on long term deals whom if /when we get back to the Premier quite a few would need upgrading. Better to see if you can get 3/4 really good loan signings in that kick us on and if it doesn't work they go back and were not stuck with them, if it does work and we go up your not trying get rid of good solid championship players to replace with Premier class.

Fast, strong, skillfull and strong mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Genuinely forgot Wickham existed. Sad really. He should be our talisman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about??? Dean is nowhere near the standard of Joost, he will be worth a hell of a lot of money this time next year. Note: I am making a very uneducated guess as I hadn't heard of Soost or Fean until today. Edited August 30, 2017 by Spookone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha :-) I'm not talking about the quality of the 2 players, all I am saying is that if we where that close to FFP as we have thought for most of the summer I doubt we would be able to spend 4 million on a CB.

This is more likely:- A singularity means a point where some property is infinite. For example, at the centre of a black hole, according to classical theory, the density is infinite (because a finite mass is compressed to a zero volume). Hence it is a singularity.

Palace look set to sign another striker today so potentially Wickham has moved down the pecking order, so would surely be worth a punt on a season long loan?? would be an ideal way round FFP for this season and could even free up money to strengthen other parts of the team?? ok this might be pie in the sky BUT it stacks up Typical feckin Owlstalk huh ??? CC ,n, DC spend the whole feckin transfer window building a plausible excuse for not splashing cash around like a pair of drunks at a wedding so that we don't get our pants pulled down when we finally sign some bugger and you blow it all to bits with one post.

mark.flem Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd do it in a heartbeat. Think Hooper & Wickham could form a good partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOH !!!!!! Yes, I don't think we'ere close either. In fact, it was said when we signed Rhodes that we weren't. It is a smokescreen, as you say. It might be an excuse for selling unhappy players too.

DuttyTeabags Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If we got Wickham for season on loan and managed to get within 1m of what we spent on JR in selling him then this would be a result. Get big Adthe out on loan means we've got Hooper, Winnall, Joao, Fletcher and Hirst until Wickham is fit. I'd feel a lot more excited with Hirst on bench waiting to come on than Rhodes tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueOwl Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Connor Wickham is on 60k a week so unless Palace are going to pay at least half his wages I can't see it happening unfortunately. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/pics/pictures/4618/Every-Crystal-Palace-player-s-weekly-wages-revealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Wickham is a more rounded player but clearly has injury issues and may not be be quite the player he was. He is one player though I really wish we had done what was possible to get here permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
