Bizarre.

Great potential but massive ego and terrible attitude is what I'm hearing but, as we all know, if anyone can get the best out of a player, then it's Paolo. Hope Bostock really takes his chance here; I'm sure he'll have heard about what happened to Clarke and to a lesser extent Montano, so he'll definitely have to be on his toes and up for making an impact. At the very least, it gives us some form of cover for Ferry who we really have become too reliant on.

As for Bodin, I honestly can't understand this one. The Torquay move did him the world of good and he came back with some good League Two experience and chomping at the bit to be involved here. Paolo didn't let him return there because he wanted him involved here, yet he's readily let him go to Crewe when, in my opinion, he offers us something more significant up front than both Tehoue and Murray. Either way, I hope this temporary move is exactly that: temporary. Massive, massive potential to be a star and would like him to be here next season.

Or maybe he saw Torquays climb up the table as a bit of a threat....with Bodin,s goals doing the damage as the reason he didn't go back to Torquay.

Dont think so, still at the talks stage.  I wouldnt be at all surprised if he went in the summer which would be a real shame.

Really though this 55% wage cap ...... I am guessing there a million and one ways around it, or the finance director is creative in the extreme?

I read the other day in the FL paper that Swansea have been looking at BB.

I just watched his interview and he seems like a nice bloke, who comes across as level headed, with no arrogance or attitude. I think he's going to fit in well.

Maybe Bodin is going to Crewe so they can run the rule over him as a possible player+cash move for Nick Powell in the summer - would need to be a shed-load of cash, though

Agree. Will be off to a Premiership or Championship side in the Summer. Looked quality both on the opening day of the season and on Saturday.

He's not shy in saying that Sheff Wednesday love their hoofball. Comes across pretty well, if he gets stuck in he could be class for us.

Didnt Simon Jordan quit Palace because of his disbelief at the amount the tribunal agreed Spurs should pay Palace for the at the time very highly rated John Bostock?

I would assume him and Foderingham know each other, both coming up the youth ranks at Crystal Palace at similar times, hopefully will help him settle and if he does well hopefully Wes can have a little word.

He left Palace a couple of years before Wes joined from Fulham.
