I just realised schluups contract at crystal palace expires in the summer. Im hoping talks have started to get him signed permanently. I knew he would do a useful job but i must admit i didn't expect him to have settled in so well. he's been magnificent.
Now another player who i noticed is out of contract in the summer is VVD. I know its pie in the sky stuff but surely it would be worth exploring. he's almost 34 so could still play at the top for a few years yet. We would obviously need to break our wage structure which i can't see happen but 1 could only hope.
Johnston ccv vvd schluup/ tierney is a back 4 i could get on board with.

Van dijk ???? this isn't fifa.

Who said anything about Fifa?
Whats wrong with posting tongue in cheek about a very unrealistic but not impossible signing? Is that not what this banter page is about?

I mentioned fifa. Let's go all out and sign mo salah while we're at it as well.

why would we sign salah when we have maeda and kuhn. Have salah on the bench sure. Now who thinks they're playing fifa.

Laurence Shankland for me lads?.

Salah would definitely do as an impact sub.
{Ed007's Note - It's a lot of money in wages and remember we have Forrest to come back, would Salah get on the bench in front of him? ?

On reflection ed your a probably correct. Plus he would probably hinder the progress of yang.

I am not so sure that VVD (as to be regarded as a complete pie in the sky) .
This man will have earned Sky high at Liverpool for seven and a half yrs plus two and a half yrs EPL wages at Southampton, before that he was earning a few £s at Celtic . I don’t think VVD would be able to put all his money if he had it bagged in £1 coins in the biggest room of his mansion .
Maybe if he happened to meet big Joe Hart or Casper Schmiecel, they could remind him how they had such wonderful and previously unbelievable ends to their careers . VVD should believe them as it was Celtic who sent him on his way to millions .
If someone had posted 5/ 6 years ago that we would have goalkeepers of the calibre of Hart and Schmiecel, many of us who think we are knowledgeable would have laughed at him.
