Not thrilled with this one. He's not very big and doesn't score many.
We’re thankfully almost at the end of the window when all will be revealed.
Big decisions loom on Guehi, and who replaces him if he goes.
Looks like we’ve been knocked back on Akanji , Gomez and Salisu and I understand that Diomande , who was supposed to be to be our main target, is injured as well as being too expensive.
It seems likely that Guehi will go, so the main question is whether we can get in an experienced replacement.
On the attacking options, Bournemouth have been adamant that Brooks won’t be sold and Austrian forward has said he’s staying at Leipzig.
This leaves us with the possibility of El Khannouss, Nelson or…… Sterling.
Sterling would be an odd one as Glasner explicitly denied interest in him a week or so ago.
Finally there’s Gallagher, who is supposedly now a target for Manchester United and Spurs.
I just can’t see Palace competing financially for his services.
My best guess, and it’s only a guess, is that we end up with El Khannouss and Gomez, with Guehi going out.

A sorry state of affairs, I’m affraid.
The targets, transfer fees and personal terms should have been agreed weeks ago on the expectation Eze and Guehi will be sold.
It now feels like a last minute scatter gun approach with us being linked with a new player every hour. We’ll be held to ransom as clubs know we’re desperate.
The Europa League debacle must have been a influencing factor as I suspect we could have attracted better players had we not been demoted.
I hope I’m wrong and Parish has a trick up his sleeve/masterplan, but it feels unlikely that we will unveil the required 4 additional new signings today.

I think the scattergun ( hopefully ) has more to do with the media reporting . You’ve got to think they got plan A - G and beyond .
Also swings both ways , clubs who have bought and need to sell , can also get motivated
Lots of ball's in motion and SP has been doing for over ten years
Comes up to someone blinking , another club buying and a regular somewhere with WC aspirations realising they ‘re going to be sitting in a bench

Agree, the transfer window will always appear scattergun until deals are done. Whether the reality is or not is difficult to tell.
The only real known factors are the arrivals and departures announced and comments made by the club. We’ve signed a keeper, a wing back and a (highly rated) winger. One of our stars has left for a fair amount of money and the other hasn’t signed a contract, we’ve offloaded a couple but others we would like to offload remain. Beyond that, who knows what is happening.

It seems that SP performs best, or believes he performs best in the eleventh hour. When he took over the club it was at two minutes to midnight and every deal since then has been the same approach. Whether this is his only tactic in deal making or he just can't get things done otherwise remains a mystery but it needs to change.

The timing of our transfers are the main frustration as Glasner has said himself. Although, I understand it's hard for a club like us because we need value and can't pay silly money or wages. Plus, this year I agree that the Europe debacle has cost us potential players as others have mentioned. Even money wise as the Conference League rewards half the amount that the Europa league pays out.
However, I trust that we'll get the right players in with the right mindset (which is very important given the cohesion of the team). Generally over the past couple of years all the players that we have signed have worked out well and contributed. Even Kamada, who looked like a flop at first, came good once settled in. I can't think of a genuinely bad signing over the past few years with some real gems in there too. The only real question is whether we get the right number of needed players with so little time left.
