Quote:
“Palace have offered Patrick Kisnorbo the chance to earn a contract at Selhurst Park.
Kisnorbo is available on a free transfer after being released by Leicester City following four seasons at the Walkers Stadium.
He is currently training with Palace and manager Neil Warnock confirmed his interest in securing the Australian defender on a contract.
"Kisnorbo is training with us," Warnock said.
"We will have to act quickly if we want him because there are a couple of other clubs who are interested. He is a smashing lad."”

Lol! They showed the goals on Sky Sports News this morning. Maric, Ertl, Djilali, & Thomas with them.
Warnock was also going on about how he still wants to get Danny Webber in before the start of the season.
Quote:
“Crystal Palace would like to inform all supporters that the pre-season game on Sunday 2nd August has been subject to an opposition change.
This decision has been made by AS Nancy-Lorraine who have called off their entire UK trip, in which they were also set to play West Brom, due to concerns about Swine Flu.
However, we are pleased to announce that a fixture has been organised already against League One side Gillingham Football Club.”

“Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock is expecting striker Danny Webber to join Championship rivals Middlesbrough.
Webber is available on a free transfer after leaving Sheffield United and has been attracting interest from several clubs.
Warnock had been keen to sign the 27-year-old after working with the former Manchester United youngster during his time in charge at Bramall Lane.
However, Warnock is resigned to missing out on Webber and believes he will sign for Boro following their relegation from the Premier League.
"It looks as if Danny will be going to Middlesbrough - it's difficult for us to compete with their money," Warnock told the Croydon Advertiser.
He added on Sky Sports News: "Danny is a good player and I know he has got one or two offers, which I'd expect for a player of his quality."
Warnock saw Serbian trialist Goran Maric score in Thursday evening's 4-0 friendly win over Boreham Wood and confirmed he is looking to sign a striker with a physical presence.
"I need a taller, bigger lad to start with," commented Warnock.
"We will have to see in the next few weeks when we probably come back from America as to what's available and what we're going to go for.
"We need a bit of luck, like anybody else."”

^ Following on from that, Webber has come out and said that he is yet to make a decision as he has had a number of offers including a couple from abroad.
Its our first game of our US tour tonight.

result of our first US tour game:
Crystal Palace USA 2-5 Crystal Palace
Goals from Alan Lee, Freddie Sears, Alesanne N'Diaye and two own goals from Zack Flores give Palace a convincing 5-2 win at the UMBC Stadium.

Interesting that Alan Lee played. Be quite ironic if he is still there come the start of the season.
Good to see Sears on the scoresheet. I reckon we've got a real gem, there.

Quite clearly he wants to play for us, sign him up!
Alan Lee could do a Kuqi. He managed to change peoples' minds, at least for half a season.
barnsley are still interested in alan lee. they have made an offer. but it looks like any deal with him going to norwich may now be dead.

That's a no-go, now. He has signed for Plymouth.
Harrisburg City Islanders 1 - 3 Palace (Sears, Ambrose, Danns)
OK so it's only 2 games against small teams, but Sears is sounding pretty good.

Yeah, I may be jumping the gun, but I'm beginning to think that in Sears we may have a 20-goal a season man. Something we seriously lacked last season.

Unless its an offer we simply couldn't refuse I can't see Warnock wanting to sell any of our top youngsters just yet. That goes for Victor Moses, too, who has also been linked with a couple of Premiership clubs.
some good news: steve bruce has come out and stated to sky sports that he is not interested in nathanial clyne and will be making no bids for the player.
james scowcroft has signed for leyton orient.

Unfortunately its difficult for me to get to games midweek at the moment.
Result: Brentford 2-2 Palace
Blimey other Palace fans! I thought I was the only one.
Not sure what to think about next season we need a couple mores strikers, we can't keep up with only Alan Lee who is useless and Freddie Sears.

I seem to recall Moses throwing a tantrum at some point but as far as I know all is well now.
We definitely need a couple of more strikers in, as Willz mentions. Still no news about Danny Webber and where he is going.
