Scott Sinclair joins Palace

After just three appearances as a substitute for Charlton, 19-year old Chelsea winger has opted to join Crystal Palace for the rest of the season. Leroy Lita will, however, remain at The Valley for the rest of the campaign as he searches for his first goal for the Addicks.

It is possible that Sinclair will find Selhurst Park a less challenging environment as the crowds there are smaller than at The Valley.

After the news was released, small groups of fans gathered at The Valley and Sparrows Lane wailing and rending their clothes. Fred Grumbler from Slade Green said, 'As soon as I heard the news I got on the train and came up to the ground. If Palace go up at the end of the season and we stay down, the board and Pardew will have some questions to answer.'

Pravda (the South London Press) is also reporting that Lee Cook is about to leave The Valley. The Fulham player was bigged up in the programme when he arrived, but has struggled to find his fitness.
