Palaver is defined as prolonged and idle discussion and is probably going to be apt to the rest of my input to this thread.

This is effectively a Premiership thread, but I title it as Palace as well to give me scope to go on mad, selfish, rant essays to be completely ignored as the rest of you have more intellectual discussion about your teams in this league.

This is here for you to post up anything you have on anything Premiership and hopefully will be a good source of convo as the season gets under way.

Would be pretty impressed if this gets ignored, as that would be a big no you won't to me and fair play to you guys for inflicting that pain, but in my haste I am going to kick things off and say that Palace are reportedly in for David Vaughan as a serious interest and Jerome Thomas.

We have also been reported as putting in a bid for Birmingham's Nathan Redmond of around £2m and Matt Phillips and Tom Ince of Blackpool but the latter two have extortionate price tags of £6m and £8m apparently.

As the Palace team stands I would say Yannick Bolasie is our most exciting prospect along with Jonny Williams, they are the two to look out for and may shine in the Prem imo.

We are in desperate need of a striker as we would be currently starting Aaron Wilbraham if we don't, with Murray injured for the start of the season, then the rest of our team are of good Championship quality, where you would expect a massive overhaul is needed for us to compete in the Prem. However, there has been talk from the chairmen, the main nucleus of the side will remain intact, which may be interesting. They did confirm though that we are likely to be breaking our club transfer record this summer of £2.75m.

Holloway has had the pain of relegation before with Blackpool and I think that experience is going to really help us despite the odds people are giving us to go straight back down, there is a funny feeling in me that we will stay up as we have Holloway at the helm. The same feeling I felt that on Playoff final day we were gonna do it, just because Holloway had been through it twice before. 

Anyone excited? Probably same old for you guys. Nearly 2 months until the start of the fixtures, but I thought I would get this in early. First up is Spurs at home. Nice, easy start. Sad.

Cheers Flushy, anything to recreate the atmosphere of last season is fine by me, maybe without Zaha firing on all cylinders for us you will have a chance! Cheesy

Gonna be following the Championship fervently still too, probably as escapism from how we are doing in the prem Smiley

Dwight Gayle to Phallus for between £4m-£6m depending who you believe. Happy Ant?

Seems a lot to spend on an unproven prem player. Would have thought it would be more like £2.5m with quite a few add ons.
I know you always speak highly of him chompy. Do you think he can cut it in the prem?

Any player yet to play in the Premiership is unproven at that level natch but Dwight would have more chance than most. He's a natural goalscorer who's quick and composed. Think Defoe with a much better attitude.

I'd like to see him do well. Same as Boydy - who also gave us 100% every time - there's no point in him wasting him time at League One level and we've already used some of the £££ to secure Jack Payne, who's a great Poshy signing.

He was loaned out to division below conference last year! He's 23 in a few months.

Ashley barnes is worth £6m then!
