Woozley to join Bournemouth permanently?

[Eddie McGoldrick's tash]

Teamtalk claims that the Wooze may go to Bournemouth in a permanent deal - possibly around 50,000 pounds.
I wonder if the Linighan sacking may change this? -
I personally would like to see him stay because I think he has something to offer - and certainly shouldn't be sent backing before he's had a real chance to prove himself.
What do we think?

Woozley fee row

Palace are believed to be demanding £50,000 for David Woozley, whose loan spell at Bouremouth expires after Saturday's game against Rotherham.
The 20-year-old has impressed since arriving at Dean Court and would be a valuable addition to a Cherries squad that is still missing Eddie Howe.
Fortunately for their manager Sean O'Driscoll, Woozley is keen to make the deal permanent, but the £50,000 asking fee is far more than cash-strapped Bournemouth can afford.
O'Driscoll said: "David has said he would like to sign for us and we would like to keep him. He is a left-sided defender and has done well for us in his first month.
"We have already spoken to Palace about the situation and they have put the ball back in our court by asking us to make an offer for him.
"Originally, we were keen to sign David on loan for the rest of the season, but that was something Palace were not prepared to entertain.
"We felt that if David was not in their plans then having him on loan for the rest of the season would help us out defensively and also put him in the shop window for them.
"However it appears Palace would rather sell him and although we are not in a position to pay cash up front, I am hoping something can be sorted out where we pay over a period of time."

50,000!!!!!!!!!!!!
there has to be a law against selling a player for that amount...
everybody's worth more than that these days.

i would keep him by the way, he's good enough

Another major mistake by Palace .... and another player we shouldn't be looking to get rid of.

Smith's policy seems to be clear out the youngsters or anyone to do with Coppell, a return to the dark old days of football. I'm almost afraid for the club's footballing future again .....

Correct. I'd have him in the side ahead of Ruddock. Plus he's versatile enough to fill in at left back if needed.

Woozely or Harrisson ???

I know who i'd rather have in the squad.
