If we do sign him I think he'll just be known as Raddy or Rado!

It finished Palace 0-1 Chelsea.

Was able to watch the game online. We played some good stuff at times especially in defence and midfield. But it's so very clear that we lack a cutting edge up front without a decent striker. That has to be priority for Burley this next week or so.

I know it was only a friendly - but everyone must be pleased at the score?

It is also very encouraging that there was a crowd of over 21,000.

Let's hope that we can start the season with a full team, preferably including a striker or two!

Only watched it online, but how good was it to see us passing it about!?

Hope we can take that kind of play into the league.

i managed to get there. we played well but god we need a striker. calvin andrew works hard and gets into good positions but he cannot finish. he is our emile heskey.

seeing us pass the ball around was good to see and the attendance & atmosphere was great.

we get a good striker or two in the new season will be one to look forward to.

From everything I've read it seems that Davide Baiocco impressed the most out of the trialists. I personally liked him, he kept the ball well and knew which pass to make and when. Looked comfortable with the ball, too.

Radosavljević had a decent game. Broke up the oppositions play on a number of occasions.

Both would be good additions if we can get them.

i agree with all that especially with biaocco. he looked real good. bridcutt is the other one i liked.

only trialist i wasn't impressed with at all was anthony ouasafane. looked out of his depth.

I was there, we weren't too bad otherwise and their goal was rather good IMO.

17 quid for a ticket! Even Chelsea was only 15.

Julian Speroni linked with Celtic over the weekend but Burley has thankfully played it down:

i'd be amazed if he goes anywhere after the way he pledged his allegience to us a couple of weeks back. the speculation doesn't help though.

The pre-season game at Croydon Athletic has been postponed.

Linl

We have officially signed Lewis Price.

Link

Lewis Price is a good addition.

we're edging closer to the end of the 28-day appeal process for the CVA.
if HMRC are going to lodge an appeal it will have to happen in the next few days.

Following on from that we have now arranged a pre-season game at Bromley instead.

Link

birmingham have reportedly upped their offer for nathaniel clyne again. this time to £2m. this transfer rumour refuses to go away.

We drew 3-3 with Dorchester last night in our latest pre-season game. Two goals for Ambrose.

Link

Parish has apparently said Brum must up it to at least £3m
before he will even consider a bid.

I think today is deadline day.


Even £3m isn't enough IMO. He's got to be worth at least £4m.

great news. the cva deadline has passed without any appeal.


link

that's top news. we can all finally relax.

and more good news is we have our first pre-season win.
we have beaten Exeter 2-0 this evening. Ambrose has
got both goals.

Delighted about the CVA news. Now we really can look to a bright future.

Hopefully we can get that elusive striker signing sorted in the next week.

Everything's looking really positive right now.

i went to the game. ambrose is priceless to us. without him we would really struggle for goals again this coming season. especially as with two weeks to go theres still no sign of a striker coming in.

Burley is trying to get both Nile Ranger and Ryan McGivern in on loan.

Link

ranger would be good but not so sure about mcgivern. from what i have been reading lots of leicester fans saying he was their worst player for them when he was there last season.

i remember Charlton fans saying the same about Ambrose but look how good he turned out once he wore the red & blue. same could happen with McGivern.

Speaking of Ambrose, he's now signed a new 3 year deal.
