January Transfer Window - The Verdict.

Perez would be a downgrade on Bailey in my opinion. Had 1 god season at Newcastle and a few months of looking decent at Leicester but has been shit for 2 and half years now, he's right up there with Drinkwater and Barkley as the sort of player we shouldn't be going anywhere near.

Just speculating for players. I can think of worse and wouldn't put him as same trouble label as Barkley and Drinkwater but take your point

I think the whole point of the January window was not wanting to go out and buy squad players who will end up being on the fringes. Anyone coming in has to be a serious upgrade. Ayoze Perez is not that upgrade

Zaha's no spring chicken and would want silly wages, but I can't help thinking we'd absolutely spank loads of teams with him in the side. Sheer quality and end product.

It's not that he's trouble, it's that we'd be signing the player he looked like 4 years ago rather than the player he is now. People have made similar arguments against Coutinho but he was at least still putting in good performances and having an impact, just not £143m impact.

If we're going to sign someone in their late 20s or early 30s I want them to have just come off the back of stellar season where they were in the form of their life, because at that age once your performance starts to dip it takes a lot to turn it around, especially when you're rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Ayoze Perez would be a good signing for one of the relegated teams, maybe.

The bigger problem is that we'd then have a player I think is a massive c**t and it's been a while since we had one of those.

I'm not aware of anything objectionable about him off the pitch. My in laws are big Palace fans and have met him a few times and say he's a lovely bloke, my niece basically worships him.

If he's a c**t on the pitch and winds up the opposition, I'm all for it.

He was interviewed on the Channel 4 documentary series about the Palace Academy and came across really, really well. Which backs up your theory. I'd be all for it too. I think Palace fans will wish him well when he goes but are hoping he goes abroad. The guy in our office laughed at the thought of him coming to us, so now of course I really, really want him too.

Yep, if you want an arsehole in the dressing room then he is your man.

[Lastfootstamper]

He's a pantomime villain. I'd take him.

Most other Premier League fans think Big Emi is a twat, whereas we all love him. Similar story with Zaha I think.

Yes but do his team mates?

Why wouldn't they?

Because he is a twat.
