Some Crystal Palace fans have been left fuming by the transfer recruitment of the club and the ownership of it.
The Eagles look close to missing out on Jarrod Bowen, with West Ham now on the verge of signing the Hull City man. The club are looking to sign West Bromwich Albion youngster Nathan Ferguson, but the deal is reportedly being held by a problem in the medical.
Can Palace sign anyone before the deadline?
We'll get Ferguson
We're getting no one
A page called Matchday365 recently posted about Palace’s financial dealings in recent years. This left many Eagles fans angry about how the club is run.
Embarrassing

even though we got a squad with an average age of about 47, no depth and our best player off in the summer

Care to comment @CEO4TAG on this? Not really backing Roy are you?

But, but, but we’ve never had it so good and they saved us 10 years ago

I like to think we’re a patient bunch, with low expectations but this is unbelievably poor. Oldest manager and squad in the league. No long term ambitions.

So far in the Premier League, Roy Hodgson’s men are 11th in the table. They have 30 points in the bag and are only four points behind fifth-placed Manchester United. They’re also only four points behind Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur.
The Eagles have scored only 22 goals in the whole season– the second-worst tally in the campaign. But they have let in a total of 28 goals in the Premier League and have the fifth-best defensive record in the division.
What do we think?
It is clear that the frustration from Palace fans is boiling over. Their inability to complete the signings of Ferguson and Bowen is affecting fans and that is leading to them thinking in a negative manner.
