Malick Fofana.

Sunderland plane and a bail-out over Croydon

He is either going to be a success at Sunderland or a failure at Palace. Pick your poison
 
There is a flight from Lyon that just landed at biggin Hill, nothing from Either Lyon airport to Newcastle or Teesside as I can see it.

Of course I am s*** at using flight radar
 
Could be tricky between agent and player. If as some reports claim Sunderland have buttered the agent up but as other reports say the player wants Palace.
If true the agent will be doing his nut on his player. And if true it stinks, he should be acting for his player not himself.
 
Tragic if Sage has no pull for one of his former players over Sunderland. But I'd imagine if the agent is getting more money for himself, he'd be getting more money for Fofana as well

I’m sure we only have the money or playing room for 1 or 2 of the 5 or so players we are rumored to be chasing so with Osario sounding nailed on I would imagine our interest in Fofana has subsided.

Chilwell will be the other incoming if I was a betting man.
 
All is not lost. We should submit a loan offer for him in January. All good films deserve a sequel

The Timber deal looks like its a loan to buy, so I wondered if the Fofana/Osario deal was connected to Sarr.

If he went we could afford to buy Fofana, if he didn't we'd have to loan Osario and buy him next summer after Sarr had been offloaded.
 
I find this whole saga embarrassing for the club. It's the type of scummy trick that clubs like Wet Spam pull off. We have done nothing wrong but it stinks of a second hand car dealer tactics. If this had happened in the middle of the window then fair enough 2 clubs fighting to sign a player but on the last day, nah.

It's quite clear that Sunderland had a deal agreed and we tried ti hijack it at the last minute. If we wanted this player that much why did we wait so long.

I imagine Sunderland fans are not happy with our behaviour and I don't blame them.

And to make matters worse we didn't get him. I expect he decided that as Sunderland had been pursuing him for some time he was better off going there, we seemed a last minute thought.

I hope we don't do this again. C'mon Steve we are better than this.

I expect the agent got in touch with us, in all fairness. Or put out the feelers to get a bargaining stronghold. You can't really blame him - it worked. People who play fair in the Premier League don't do that well. It's full of rule bending at best and cheating at worst. And in the world of transfers - who knows what's going on.

The Premier League should centrally regulate transfers - but could they be trusted? I think we see that every week on the pitch. In the media, and with what happens to Chelsea and Man City vs what happens to us.

It doesn't sit well but maybe Steve wanted to dick them about as a bit of Wickham payback. Sure a club chairman has nothing better to do on the last day of the window.
Looked him up and last year he was playing for Dubai City in the UAE 2nd Division - 6 games/2 goals.
