Holloway might have seen him while he was Blackpool boss last season when we played them.

Permanently? If it is I'd say that's zaha off.

Loan till end of season

 

[lordsummerisle]

Will score on his debut.


Likes to get his goal for the season out of the way early.

Bollox,
Holloway is a top manager he knows talent when he sees it

Knew palace were doing well but already in the premiership?

Quite right. That's why he sent fleck back as soon as he could.

Word is that Utd are signing him for nearly £15m.

I heard. What I will say is the absolute tripe spewed about City spending their way to the title and United doing it the right way is clearly not working here! £15 million for a player who's only played in the Championship (and a fleeting glimpse in an England shirt in some non-descript game) is not what I would call being savvy!

The big difference kg is that Utd's wealth followed their success rather than precluding it. One club became successful the old fashioned way, the other just chucked oil money at it.

Fair enough. I just hate this misleading argument about how City have spent their way to the top but Utd haven't! United spent big sums back in the late 80's/early 90's for players that won them the title - Schmeichel, Bruce, Pallister, Robson, Hughes, Cantona. All of these cost a lot of money for back then!

United spend as much as city I would guess,

Ah but Utd were a big club even then off the back of Busby's exploits. No Qatari oil tycoons

 

[kg82]

Won't disagree with that! But they had gone a similar route to city - relegated in the 70s, not great in the 80's!

 

[kg82]

In fact, they were probably like the Liverpool of today!!

Still a bigger club than City were pre-sheikh!

 

[kg82]

Aye, I'm not saying they weren't. I meant more hadn't won anything but thought they had a god given right to!

Did you see Dalglish is being rehired? That guy could murder kittens and still be worshipped up there.

I did! In some ambassadorial role - they really need to let the obsession lie with him! It's a bit embarrassing!
