Bloody hell, you lot are sounding like whiney Arsenal fans. We'll do just fine without any signings if that's the way it's to be.
This!
C'mon surely you are not that stupid. We'll do just fine? Hope you are still saying that when you have Church and Piggy paired together up front. In fact, even one of them starting a game fills me with dread.
We have people moaning when we have a couple of strikers in Vetokele and Tucudean that we would've loved 6 months ago.
When people start using words like "incase of injury" etc etc, it shows to me how far we've come.
Church and Pigott isn't ideal but if there isn't value in the market at the moment, they'll do just fine. They managed last season.
I think Reza's move being more complicated than anticipated has made RD reshuffle his cards a little - if anyone does come in it will probably be on loan and presumably via the network. That said, when I look at the current squad I really don't think we NEED anyone desperately. Another striker would be helpful, perhaps Pope's run in goal suggests more experienced back-up would be useful, but I don't think we'd be crippled by the loss of any one player. Igor is in form right now but won't necessarily keep it all season, but I think Tucudean is still going to come good, Church looks reinvigorated, Big Bob has a knack with youth by many accounts that will bring The Pig on in time. We'd be weaker minus Vetokele but by no means completely screwed.

Take igors goals away what position would we be so the people that ain't bothered about getting anybody else in you better cross them fingers and toes that he doesn't get injured or lose his form
To be fair, in 97/98, if super Clive had been injured where would we have been...
I'm being spoilt and so are other people. When you think of our strikers last season Igor is better than all of em put together, plus we've got a better defense, JBG, Moussa, Buyens. Bulot could be good for us too. We have a decent sized squad, I think the urgency has come from the fact we beat Wigan and Derby and with a couple more signings we could be certs for play offs.
I'm happy as it is, would like to see a striker come in on loan though, just in case.
He's been on the same pitch as igor and who gets taken off all the time and who stays on to score the goals I'm happy with the team just not the back up/competition
Rumours Bryan Ruiz on a loan deal - just ironing out wages. No idea if true but someone claiming to be ITK from Fulham seems to be saying it. Could be interesting if true

Well we wouldn't have been promoted but that's the risk you have to take... you can't have five Super Clive's on your books "just incase" the first four are injured.

seems like Warnock is hoping to not only relegate Palace but destroy them while he is at it
Pity we know the ending.
Although what I would say is that every year the club does always tweet something on deadline day (ie someone says they are off home).
It has been really strangely quiet.
