Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 This is the main board; I know the rules! There are other clubs interested in him also, but we're hoping to wrap up the signing soon. Palace are deperate for some money. lol, since when did you start following rules!? Sounds good though, an ideal signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 So you wouldn't think that if Palace need say 1mil in a hurry and a player wanted 250k a year extra in his wage packets to leave that a deal to give him an extra portion of an inflated fee in lieu couldn't be worked out by a dodgy agent? Not saying it IS the case, but it could be a possibility Yes it could be but from experience it will depend on the player in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Patrik Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Palace plays home to Bristol tomorrow and If he is left out of the squad the he is probbably coming to Saints. So waiting time ahead I guess. If the game can be played offcourse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitySaint Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 According to their site, seems he is staying put. Not fussed, seems a lot of money for an average player in my opinion, do not want to be wasting £1.2 million on someone I've not heard a lot about. Remember we are a league 1 club, and I think Cortese has commented that organic growth is the way forward, not opulent spending. Elliot Ward for £300,00 .... Yes Please.

Foxstone Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Erm http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/sport/eagleeye/4841007.Fonte_turns_down_Southampton_move/? Maybe he is waiting to see whether he is paid or not.. If he is not, then as the article states he can tear up his contract and might be able to negotiate better personal terms with us. We would also save on a transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 So, to clarify things, as they stand: We have bid 1.2 million or 1.5 million for Fonte, which has been accepted, and he is currently having a medical with us or training with Palace and will sign today or stay in South London, as he doesn't want to leave the area?

Arizona Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Damn, looks like the transfer's off. "On January 8th 2010, Fonte retired from football to set up a ghost hunting agency with Carsten Jancker and Dereck Acorah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Palace's game is still currently on tomorrow. Will be interesting if Fonte is included in the squad or not should the game go ahead.

No player can really be "forced". He'd be well within his rights to say no and see out his contract and Palace couldn't do a thing (apart from not paying wages which they are currently struggling to do).

Matthew Le God Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 The only time this doesn't happen is if the day the transfer window closes is a weekend.

Saint Charlie Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Seems very likely. Then. Great signing, a really good CCC defender. Look at this, he can actually play a bit: Some Palace fans saying he didnt really want to leave but they need the money. They really rate him, seems like their loss will be our gain.
