CONFIRMED: Stephen Dobbie signs for Palace on loan
CRYSTAL Palace have signed Stephen Dobbie from rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on an emergency loan tonight.
The Scottish striker, 30, now looks set to play for Ian Holloway again after playing under him at Blackpool. And he will be in line to partner Kevin Phillips and/or Glenn Murray up front.
He told www.cpfc.co.uk: "I know Ian really well and I'd heard there was a little bit of
interest and when that became concrete there was no doubt in my mind to

come and play for him. I've played for him
twice at Blackpool and he gets players playing for him, and he's a great
man and a motivator, and I just enjoyed working with him every day."
Meanwhile, George Boyd's move to Nottingham Forest is off after the player failed an eye test during his medical. The winger had held talks with Palace on Wednesday morning before going up to the City Ground afterwards.
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony is furious with Forest officials and claimed live on television that another Championship club "near the top of the league wouldn't have a problem with his eye sight" and hinted they may take him on loan at the end of next week.
That club is believed to be Palace.

“petetheeagle,
i have to totally disagree with you, Adomah still has 18 months to run on his contract.
Finnigan, Adomah`s agent said when Adomah wants to leave, he is looking for a move to a Premiership Club, so really he wasn`t interested in a move to us or Bolton.”

“Boyd's Fee,Was,Agreed but Player Declined &,as Agent Tony Finnigan Said,with Albert Adomah at African Nations,Permanent Move Always Unlikely.”

“Rambo, have to totally disagree with you. Boyd's fee was realistic because of his worth and the fact that he is out of contract in the summer.
With Adomah the board upped the bid twice so Bristols valuation was realistic because making further bids would suggest that the buying club is close to what the selling club is asking.
All these inflated prices nonsense is coming from the board and fans believe them. Same out chestnut, a club sells a player for a huge fee and then when they dip into the transfer market, other clubs know you have 10 million banked and the asking price rockets. Both Adomah and Boyd, their contracts are almost up.”

“Players are Over Priced in the January Transfer Window,You Shouldn't Pay inflated Prices,&,though I Expected More the Loans of Stephen Dobbie & Kevin Phillips,Will,Strengthen the Squad for the Run-in &,if Necessary,the Loan Window Opens in 7 Days & Could,Possibly,Go for George Boyd,After,the Fiasco of his Move to Nottingham Forest.”
