DC has said that he would like to add another player to the squad, but he’s working on the basis of one in and one out.
Who do you think would be the one out?

Was he referring to the keeper. Very odd that he loans a keeper out (our best keeper) and then has to loan one in?? There must be more to the story about Slocombe than we get to hear about. Let's hope Bonham does well for us.

If I had to guess then Rollin Menayese. I would imagine he will be loaned out to somewhere in league two, he doesn’t have a squad number, hasn’t appeared at all this season and probably needs a fresh start after his conviction. Swindon were quite keen on having him back for another season.
It would free up space for the centre back that we desperately need to reinforce our back line.

Agree Rollin Menayese is a possible if fit but given our defense I rather he was not loaned out.
Mensah is a possibility and half a season with a league 2 club would be good if he gets game time.
The trouble is neither are on big wages and so would not give DC much spending power in the loan market.

He was given some positive praise at Swindon and seems just the type of player we have been lacking. Are we pushing him out of the door after his conviction or is he going to be welcomed back and given a chance to prove himself? Without knowing the facts around his wrongdoing, it seems harsh to let him rot.

Should we not be looking at Crystal Palace's offer of players on loan for free? The catch being that they must play regularly, which hasn't happened too often with DC's loans.
Get a CB on a season loan and a left back on a short term loan.

It's hard to believe the owners are willing to risk relegation rather than pay for a couple of decent loan signings.
Very misguided as the cost of relegation or terminating DC contact would be a lot more.
Being badly let down by the owners.

Yeah I’d be happy with that as long as the Center back is tall and strong

Get a CB on a season loan and a left back on a short term loan. No idea how good their defensive options are but we should absolutely be taking them up on this offer. Desperately need a new defence and if we can get some for free, happy days.

So I can see why they won't give him extra, if he's already spent the amount he was given. It's not like we are short of numbers. Just short in certain positions.

He said he would never sign a loan player, that has to play, like a lot of clubs do. He might have changed his mind, but I doubt it.

Strange move by Palace really as surely players earning the right to play is all about player development.

If that's the case I wouldn't find that hard to believe as we are probably ahead of where they thought we would be when they took over anyway.
It will just give them another excuse not to push forward with the training ground and/or new stadium.

They are more likely to recruit a couple more bean counters than bring in players to keep us up. I wonder how all these ancillary roles will be funded on league 2 crowds?

Not uncommon for a club to stipulate a clause like that for loan players, Liverpool being the main big one. Maybe if we watched them first we might have an idea if they are good enough rather than rely on advice of outsiders.

Don't get me wrong, I think players should have to earn the right to play. However, I'd be surprised if Palace don't have a defender in their ranks that could slot straight into our backline? Worst case scenario is if they don't play, we pay. We'd be paying for any other loan? I don't know, maybe it's just me but seems like a good opportunity if they have someone worth taking a punt on.

Yet he signed Craig who seemingly has to play every game? His signing still confuses me. Somebody who played their entire career in and around the London area who would surely have had plenty of options from other lower league clubs last season but chose to join us?

Whats the worst that can happen if a loan player is deemed not good enough? He can go back in January and we damage our relationship with his club. Or maybe the clause means you do have to contribute to his wages if he doesn't play enough games.
