48 hours from Roots Hall?: Decision time for Crystal Palace midfielder
Eagles midfielder Alassane N'Diaye is taking a couple of days over the peronal terms offered to him to join Southend United on a season long loan. Alassane N'Diaye: On the move to Roots Hall? Our report Sunday that speculation the Shrimpers are about to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Alassane N'Diaye on a season-long loan has taken on a new twist in that personal terms are now being discussed over the next two days with the decision likely the player will sign on the dotted line. With club captain Craig Easton actively talking to other clubs Blues boss Paul Sturrock is obviously looking for an alternative, which also helps cover any possible loss of fellow midfielders Kane Ferdinand or Anthony Grant before the start off the new campaign. At 6 foot 5 inches the 21-year old of French-Senegalese decent N’Diaye would certainly be an imposing site to opponents on match day. Michael Timlin; staying at Swindon? Where this leaves Swindon Town's out of contract and former loanee Micheal Timlin, who seemed to be flirting with both Robins and Shrimpers, we will have to wait and see, but the odds seem high now on him now remaining at the County Ground, unless Luggy knows more about players leaving Roots Hall than he's admitted so far. The Wiltshire side would be involved in both players mentioned as N'Diaye was on loan at Swindon Town towards the latter part of last season but only made 6 appearances, 5 as a sub, so made little impression.
