Banks Robbed

Smart move from palace. Sign him up to a new deal and then if he rips it up over there they will have a valuable asset on their hands.
 
St. Pauli is a huge move for him, they’ll be expecting to compete for promotion to the Bundesliga.

Just another example of Nixon being a surrogate for agents.

He doesn’t have any actual sources at clubs, only agents who feed him information to get his clients better deals.

He first reported Stockport were interested and that he was available, then we came in, then Blackburn, then finally St. Pauli.

He’s less of a reporter and more of a prostitute to agents.

Just been reading their fans' reaction on their message board and they are questioning why they have taken on a young player from England who has only played in the 4th tier here, so nowhere near their equivalent 2nd tier in Germany, who apparently has defensive issues to work on and has just extended his contract with Crystal Palace beyond the end of the loan period so not like he would be free to sign for them afterwards if he does end up a success.

Yeah doesn’t make any sense at all; foreign country, much higher standard than he’s used to, with massive expectations. What could go wrong?

All gone quiet on the incomings for us, be good to carry on the momentum

We’ll have 2 more incomings that are of the caliber of the Norburn/Pennington signings I’m certain of it.

We have momentum in the league and the squad as a whole is very strong so additions aren’t needed immediately. We’ll bide our time and wait for the right players to become available for the right price.

We have the money, and seeing that we’re in the market for players like Banks/Moxon shows we’re looking in the right places, just need patience.
 
I’ve a feeling that we’ve bought what we want already.
Critch is waiting for Prem (championship) clubs to leak to squad players that they’re not going to get much 1st team action and therefore can go out on loan.
That ‘open season’ should start this weekend.

I'm not so sure, he sounds very much like he wants more. The fact we've been linked with £500K (Banks) and £250K (Moxon) bids suggests we very much want more permanent signings.

I used to live around the corner from their ground. My time there in 2001 coincided with their first promotion to the top flight in many, many years and they had a massive party with tens of thousands of fans on the land next to their ground called Heiligengeistfeld. What an experience that was! 😄

Loans come cheaper?
A. we don’t pay all their salary.
B. Any problem, send them back without paying them off.
C. Clubs like citeh hoover up a lot of promising starlets but can’t play them all, all of the time. On the other hand, we are a “developing” club where opportunities can be had.

I'm sure we'll get a loan or 2 in but for me they are very short term and don't really fit with the model of the club. If we can't find the players we want permanently and they are better than we would otherwise be able to sign, they are a useful option. I don't want a team that is underpinned by 4 or 5 loans however.

On point B. you'd still be liable for the wages until the end of the agreed loan.
