Some decent signings though by Palace.

If I had to guess, I'd say some sort of Costa - Courtois swap deal is on the cards in the summer. PSG did seem strangely open to selling Cavani when we were linked with him (from what Blanc said) though.

JM was asked in a recent interview whether Courtois would be spending next year at AM and he said no so I doubt that will happen plus swap deals almost never happen, they're usually just made up by some mug in the media.

Yeah some decent lower-prem players, should keep them up, or at least keep them in the fight

JohnnyG · 31 Jan 2014 at 21:42

What's with the big Italian teams signing PL cast offs now, is it down to money?

Hennessy is a great keeper, Puncheon has done well for them and Scott Dann is fine CB on his day.

Berbatov is perfect for Monaco and French football.

Arsenal should have took a punt.

Pighardia · 31 Jan 2014 at 21:47

Hennessey is a strange one. Has he gone downhill?.... Cause there is no way he will replace Speroni surely!

Yup, would've liked to have seen what he could have done with our midfield supplying him, the interplay would've been delicious no doubt.

I think there was attitude problems, not quite sure, Akemi (sp?) replaced him in goal and did really well. Kept him out the team.

It would have been scary, he wouldn't need to run and therefore would be sublime!

Isn't he refusing to extend his contract with you, with it being reported that JM's threatened to bench him for 2 years if he doesn't sign a new deal?

JohnnyG · 31 Jan 2014 at 22:01

I haven't heard that, where are you getting it from?

Pighardia · 31 Jan 2014 at 22:02

I think Leeds might regret it if they don't do a deal for Mccormack today. He is clearly unhappy. Now might be the right time instead of having an uninterested player in their squad for the rest of the season.

Sell him, get someone in on loan for the rest of the season to replace him.

Just breaking that Liverpool have as near as damn it secured the headless chicken for £16m, good work.

BaZ87 · 31 Jan 2014 at 22:06

A fair few of the rags were reporting in a while back:

I think it originates from Marca.

At least he's going to shake Yossi Benayoun's hand!

you must not have watched him in the last 2 years at blackburn then. Dann is average championship level at best.

As a season ticket holder i dont know why we signed him in first place

Pighardia · 31 Jan 2014 at 22:09

Ha. Fulham fans seem to be happy with the Senderos deal!

G|mp · 31 Jan 2014 at 22:09

Is this Ukranian the one that ran England ragged in the qualifiers?

I've not seen much of him at Blackburn tbh but he was the better player out of him and Johnson when they were at Brum, always thought he looked decent.

zophiel · 31 Jan 2014 at 22:11

indeed that pairing at birmingham was very good, as individuals they have both failed badly.
