Any done deals?

[Ginger Ninja]

i was told yesterday that we are very close to getting hooper and beattie

[James1979]

sounds good. You're not the first to suggest these 2, so looking promising.

[stainrodisalegend]

When people say they have been told do they just mean by some bloke down the chippy who may have heard it third hand or by someone who has a realistic chance of knowing? Just asking. Wd love Hooper and Beatie, that's a promotion winning front line.

Hooper should be our number 1 target,he would be a great signing,but dont believe for one minute he is a "done deal".iv heard that WAY too many times before on this board about other players and very few come true.

[stainrodisalegend]

Agree with that but at least a) there does seem to be some kind of budget to sign players of the necessary standards and b) we seem to be linked with, in the main, sensible signings - OK we can all have an opinion on whether people like Clint Hill are worth signing (I'm far from convinced) but at least they are players who know what they are doing in the championship rather than the di carmine type nightmares we had last season.

[Rebel R's]

I suppose we will just have to trust NWs judgement,even if he does sign players like Hill,but if we lose out on Hooper to another championship team i will be pretty pissed off.

[stainrodisalegend]

depends who we get instead. if we sign a beattie or a maynard it wont be the end of the world. we aren't the only club out there, and we certainly aren't the biggest. some of our targets will go elsewhere, its a fact of life. at least i can't see a repeat of the deadline day debacle when we were told we had just upped our bid for hooper and then the s****horpe chairman announced we hadn't even made a first bid, let alone a second.

[qpr]

Hooper would be tops.. really praying on this deal !!

[qblockpete]

Hooper is a target, other clubs want him

Danns and Beattie NO

Hi qblockpete, as you can see im a Palace fan and it;s interesting to see that you are now saying the Danns deal is a no, is that the same for many other Palace players which QPR were rumoured to be targetting?

From what i was being told before the weekend was that if Palace had of been relegated then it was likely you would have got about 2 or 3 of our players, but now we have stayed up and new ownership hopefully not so far away these players such as Danns, Speroni, Ambrose, and Clyne are likely to stay with Palace.

[qblockpete]

Think you'll probably right.

The only definite I know of is Clint Hill

As for Danns..been told its not going to happen

Speroni and Ambrose are targets, the latter is the most likely of the two.

All I know is that your administrator said that players will have to be sold, to cover finances, if new owners are not found rapidly.

With at least 4 clubs serious about Hooper I can't see anything being near a 'done' deal, when a player is wanted / in demand he can wait weigh up offers etc. Can't see them just going with the first offer. Wouldn't look to much into this at all. Hoping its true though.

[Nodge70]

Hooper is a definite No - should be going to Wolves to link up with Kightly again.

It could also be from voices within or something like that. Quite scary if you ask me??
