Thomas Ince has today joined Crystal Palace.

on loan for the rest of the season, decent signing for them I guess, glad we don't have to hear anything else about his tour of the uk with daddy mind.


Crystal Palace sign Tom Ince on loan until the end of the season after paying Blackpool £1million fee

The in-demand 22-year-old will spend the rest of the season at Selhurst Park before he becomes a free agent in the summer

Done deal: Tom Ince will spend the rest of the campaign at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are signing Thomas Ince from Blackpool - and won the race by paying a stunning £1million loan fee.

Palace supremo Steve Parish has seen off his rivals to land the England under-21 cap ahead of survival rivals Swansea, Hull and Sunderland.

Ince junior was cleared to leave by the Seasiders after his dad Paul was axed as boss. His father has guided him through the whirlwind talks.

The negotiations came down to who would pay Blackpool most for Ince's services for the rest of the season.

Palace had cash to spend on the deal after losing out to Cardiff City on Wilfried Zaha when he left Manchester United.

Swansea pulled back from the move as they felt it was too expensive while Ince's seniors mates Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes also withdrew.

Ince junior will be a free agent in he summer, with Palace a possible option for him.

However the one-time Liverpool kid may join Monaco, a potential move that sparked the rift between the Ince camp and Blackpool.

So Moody could get him there but not here... Guess he's free to go on tour again in 6months now.

Don't believe that it is a done deal yet. Once source has Palace as favourites and another Stoke. He is also talking to Liverpool and I think he would jump at an offer from them.

Apparently Ince is only looking for a loan deal until the summer as he has 'arrangements' in place with Monaco.

Funny how it has ended up.

We had a better squad coming up than Palace. We have bought better players than them. We have a better squad now.

Yet they are above us, spending peanuts and have just got a player we've been throwing money at for months on a basically free loan :laughing6:

I prefer their tactics myself.

Palace have a decent chance of pushing on now with pulis in charge and a high profile signing like that. Although im not sure he will cut it at this level. We will see.

The reason he will go there is because he will be their main player and he will love the attention
