Summer Transfer Rating

[ASCPFC]

It was refreshing to hear our manager say he was happy with the business done. He also confirmed we turned down bids for Wharton and that Sarr needs time to sulk.

Sarr needs time? Pathetic. My mum died, and two days later I was back at work. As many of us would have to be. f***ing pussy.

Feel like Sarr is only hurting himself at this point. I’d tell him to either get his act together, or I’m selling him to Saudi or Turkey for a ridiculous fee and he can go play second rate football until his prime is over.

Yeah. We have strict rules on areas you can walk in and can’t. Like a warehouse or factory. We have a “safety line” 15 yards in from each touchline. Go in it and it’s a fine and warning

Roy used to fine someone if they went near the penalty area let alone have a shot 🤣

Just to add to the confusion, I think the 2 SCR systems are based on different 12 month periods. If I am correct, the EPL SCR runs from 1 Jul to 30 Jun, whilst the UEFA SCR is based on the calendar year so 1 Jan to 31 Dec.

That's Handy 🙄

Palace were determined to add greater squad depth with a Europa League campaign ahead, but also to add an X Factor to Pierre Sage's options

That's a fantastic article and, if correct, shows there was a plan and it was not as chaotic as it may have seemed. It also sounds like we may have dodged a bullet with Fofana. When family are involved, things always get messy, as we know with Wilf and his brother.

I hadn't realised Osario was someone Freedman had put on his list, so that gives me reason for hope.

Another thing was the gentle dig at Glasner at the end with the reference to bringing some individual flair back to the club.

Thanks for sharing.
