To be fair, didn't we mock a Ghanaian Tweeter earlier only for the tweet to be accurate?

Which one? They were all adamant he was gone last summer. Pretty sure everything today has come from the athletic journalists

From an ambition perspective, Bristol City would be a pointless move. They do have a lot of good youngsters but some of those will be sold in the summer just to balance the books which aren't in the best of health. The only thing that Bristol City will offer is a load of cash such is their mantra and philosophy of doing things.

Could we potentially be stuck in a situation where Semenyo will hold off as long as possible to see if Palace come back with another bid?

Yep, if he doesn't want to go to Bournemouth we can't force him. His agent might be telling him that Palace will come back in for him in the summer and to wait til then 

From press conference today - confirmed he was looked at in the summer, is here to earn a longer term contract, will be on the bench on Saturday as wants to keep Max in the team

Sounds like we have some irons in the fire... same attributes as Semenyo...

Do we reckon semenyo will still be with city end of transfer window ? 

Looks like it if Burnley and Bournemouth have signed decided to go for other options!

Weird one. Goalkeepers seem to reach a certain age and then just settle for being backup, he isn't going to challenge for the first team there and if Sa isn't good enough Wolves will buy someone better than Bentley.

Difficulty with all these is knowing what the offer actually is. £10m could mean 'up to £10m' and only a proportion of that is certain. Its fine judgements, his contract is less than Scott's time wise so we need to tread with some care. I am sure the club are aware of all that and are balancing it all as best they can.

Yes clearly someone (Semenyos agent?) is leaking all this stuff to the press to put pressure on the club... 

Bournemouth playing hard to get I see...

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but how can they agree personal terms before a bid has been accepted?  Surely they're not allowed to talk to the player before being given permission and a bid accepted?

Yes usually happens these days, clubs should give consent for the player/agent to discuss terms with club and then they can agree a few if the player actually wants to move there. 

Wow! No words.... What an absolute weapon of a man 

What a photo, made up for the kid. Got a cracking future ahead of him.

Just trying to quantify what was said to explain this 4 page thread. 
Not a single person in 4 pages has been able to clarify anything about this incident. 
Just think it would be good to know, so that we can all make a proper judgment. 
Not saying this was or wasn’t the right course of action - just would be good to understand the full context. 

There was an arrest and police and the club have confirmed homophobic language was used. But until you know exactly what language was used you can't make a proper judgement? Bit odd. 

Any of his England under 19/20 teammates at Wolves?!

Has now left Yeovil by "mutual consent". 

"Forwards Britton & Scrimshaw both leave the Club via mutual consent. Scrimshaw, who arrived in August, made eight appearances in all competitions, whilst Britton played four games and netted once, against Taunton in the Somerset Premier Cup."

But but but Pearson made a massive mistake letting him go and he is a championship level striker....

FFS...you wake up from a decent hard earned point on the road, and your first thought is to post this.

Yeah last 3 new topics have been weird anti Lansdown agenda ones. Proper weirdo 

Palace views here

The trend does seem to be appointing an assistant or youth coach from a bigger club who are looking for their opportunity to manage.

Michael Beale, Kieran McKenna, Neil Critchley, Kolo Toure, Michael Carrick... 

Looking at the list of available managers I can understand why

I'm sure if we asked Ashton nicely he would let us have Kieran McKenna on the cheap...

Not heard the interview and not seen the context for the quote so don’t want to jump to conclusions.

What I would say is the vast majority fans have been far more patient, trusting and supporting of Pearson than might be expected from the results alone and you would hope he and the club appreciated that.
