Forssell - Is he or isn't he?

[Slimbloke'H']

I’ve checked most of the information sites, including the official CFC news page, and have found nothing concrete to say he is definitely coming to the Palace. Does anyone out there have any info?

A Chelsea supporting colleague tells me their web-site confirms that he has come to us and will get regular first team football as a result.

I asked him if there was anything on there about the "notice period" if they want him back urgently, but there wasn't.

From www.chelseafc.co.uk (http://www.chelseafc.co.uk) :

Also on the move for 1 year is Mikael Forssell who is returning to Crystal Palace on loan again after a short spell there last season. It's hope the loan spell will see him develop his full potential in the way the management hope and his future is very much seen to be at Chelsea. Hutchinson added "He is a player of outstanding potential but with 4 strikers ahead of him he is going to struggle to get many games this season. He needs to be playing and it's hoped a full season of first team football in the first division can see him return next year ready to contenst for a place at Chelsea."

Thank you MAW, It helps if you read the whole damn thing rather than look for the titles!!!

James, you may close this thread if you wish, it has served its' purpose.

One more thing before closing. I think the finnish word for eagle is "kotkka". Quite a challange for the Holmesdale to create a chant to that. "superkottka,superkottka"!

It will be nice to have him back. I thought he was just finding his form, towards the end of last season.

He's a good player but I firstly don't like the idea of us signing loan players, as I've said before we are no ones feeder club. Secondly I feel that the priority up front is to get an experianced physical striker in to compliment Morrison.

ajp, I didn't hear you complain about loan signing when Palace took on Phelan, Cole and Forssell (first time round) on loan last season.
