Row over Woozley fee

David Woozley

Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are having an arguement about David Woozley's transfer fee. The Eagles are demanding £50,000 for the defender who is currently on loan at Bournemouth.

Bournemouth manager Sean O'Driscoll would like to add Woozley to his side after an impressing loan spell, but the £50,000 asking fee is far more than cash-strapped Bournemouth can afford.

The 20-year-old is keen on a pemanent deal at Dean Court.

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."
