McKirdy has won the PFA fans player of the month for league 2 in January.
That's him buggered for the rest of the month then! |

Thinking longer term:
1. I would like to sign McKirdy to a 3 year deal
2. I would like to sign O'Brien. I'd pay decent money for him!
3. I would like to take a punt on Davison at the end of the year. He clearly offers something.
4. I'd like to sign Simpson and try and develop him.
5. I would extend Aguiar's contract. I think he has promise.
6. I'd like to sign Tomlinson.

McKirdy has signed a new contract. The club hasn’t said how long.

I think they can only offer 1 year deals under the rules of the umbongo |

I'd still like to sign him (and O'Brien) for 3 years!  |

Much as I’d like it,I’d be shocked if Palace would offload O’Brien for anything we could afford. They only signed him 12 months ago and I would imagine that coming here is part of a development journey that could lead towards their first team squad. Surely they’d only sell if they were convinced he’d never make it.

Depends on many factors some of which you’ve outlined. An eye watering sell on clause with a decent upfront chunk might do it. |

Surely a buy back clause also? |

Are any of our present loanees likely to be available to sign permanently in the summer? I realise that will depend on what league we are in.
O’Brien - no chance Palace would sell, maybe another loan if we go up
Tomlinson - possibility, chance that us and Posh will be in the same league
Cooper - possible but not likely.
Davison - the most likely to be available
Barry - zero chance. Again, maybe another loan if we go up

Cheers I couldnt quite hear who else he said, good for them to get game time at a better level than U18s.

I think Davison is out of contract at Charlton come the end of the season and I don't think they are looking to keep him based on conversations with Charlton fans. From what I have seen so far I think he'd be a great addition. Strong, good in the air and improving game by game. It will be interesting to see what happens with Tyrese Simpson in the summer as well. The other loanees I think we'll struggle to make permanently, but you never know with Ben Chorley around what is possible! |
