the reason why we've seen no signings so far...

Richard Cawley (South London Press) on Twitter:

Steve Parish on the back of today's SLP. He's been pretty stunned at the demands of clubs when #cpfc have enquired about players.

SP: At the moment we are just getting quoted stupid money. We have made enquiries and people have thought of a number - then doubled it.


i guess that's the price of being a premier league club now....

Agents no doubt asking for silly money in terms of wages for their players too...

Apart from the big clubs with all the money its been quite quiet on the transfer front..

the Mail claiming we have signed winger Jerome Thomas. LINK

next season's fixtures are released in the morning. i hope it's not a worse case scenario start for us!

Thomas is a good winger, I'd be happy if we picked him up.

Spurs at home first up! Would have prefered that one away as we have a good record at The Lane.

Man Utd fourth game at OT.

Spuds at home, that'll do. Selhurst will be rocking.

We're actually in the Premier League! How on earth did this happen?!

All seems very real now doesnt it. Some bloody big games ahead, love it!!

cracking 1st game to start things off although our home record against spurs isn't that great... good to have man united early i think what with moyes still being in his settling in period...

Looks like we may be playing Inter Milan in a pre-season game. Link.

Fee agreed for Dwight Gayle from P'borough according to 'Sky sources'.

Very highly thought of by Posh. Would be quite excited by that.

Stephen Dobbie has signed for Palace, instead of just being on loan.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23155809

First Dobbie and then Dwight.

http://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/article/g...ch-891970.aspx

Now the build up to August has started proper.

Gayle's fee reported to be £4.5m. Crikey, we really are Premier League if we're spending that kind of money now!

If nothing else you know he will probably stick around even if the worse happens so a good signing.

Good point, Mark.

Andre Moritz has left after failing to agree a new contract. Link.

Sierra Leone international defender Umaru Bangura has issued a 'come and get me' plea. Link.

Not too surprised about Moritz. I hope it means more time in the middle for Williams!

Looks like you might sign Dan Gosling from Newcastle.

Was a good player at Everton but been injured for a while.

Yeah, in terms of ability I'd be quite happy with him. But a big worry would be whether he'd stay fit long enough to show it!

Jerome Thomas has been confirmed. Link.

The pre-season game at Worthing this Saturday (13th) has been called off, although I think it was only going to be our youth side.

First team pre-season so far is as follows...

20th July – Dag & Red (a) 3pm
23rd July – Gillingham (a) 7.30pm
27th July – Crawley (a) 3pm
3rd August – Waterford (a) 6pm
6th August – Dulwich Hamlet (a) 7.45pm

i'm pleased with the signings so far but feel we need another striker and to strengthen the defence.

Alex Marrow has left and re-signed for Blackburn. LINK

and good news in that we have bought back our Beckenham training base. LINK

The club, stadium and training ground under one ownership! It's been a while.

Our opening game against Spurs has been moved to Sunday for Sky. Sun (h), Man U (a), Ful (h), Ars (h) also moved.

I'm already missing Saturday 3pm kick-offs.

Blimey, 5 live games before the end of October! Has that ever happened to us before?! Annoying that 4 of them are at home. I'm not a fan of 12.45pm or 5.30pm kick-offs.

Much more popular than Cardiff and Hull...and actually I think you will be the most entertaining of the 3.

We're massive.

Confirmed that we will play Lazio at Selhurst on Saturday, 10th August in our final pre-season game.
