When you read about Inniss, he doesn't actually sound like a bad lad, pretty sure Palace would have got rid of him sooner if he were:
Inniss had a troubled childhood, as his mother's drug dependency and his father's imprisonment left him to raise his two younger siblings as a teenager.
He has three police cautions: one for a public order offence in 2011, one for common assault in August 2015 and one for being drunk and disorderly and resisting a police constable in March 2015.
On 9 September 2016, Inniss pleaded guilty to assault following an incident in a bar four months earlier; he was sentenced to 14 weeks in prison. He was released three days later after successfully appealing his sentence, which was suspended for 18 months; he was also handed 240 hours unpaid work, a £300 fine, and ordered to take part in a 20-day alcohol rehabilitation course.
Seems to be struggling as a result of his terrible upbringing and childhood being stolen by forced parental duties for his siblings... Given all his struggles he has managed to stay at Palace and earn loans at decent levels.
If Bowyer and Gallen think he's good enough and can manage him, then in them we must trust.
He has had a troubled life off the pitch and at 25 and being out on 10 loans from Palace needs an opportunity to show the talent that saw him rewarded with England schoolboy internationals at 15 and 16.
We have been too soft and too small for a while. Ryan would need believing in and supporting but he is at the last chance saloon after the biting incident.
Could be a cult hero if this free transfer happens.
That's an interesting one, I once played against him in a school game years ago when we both must have been about 15. I went up for a corner and he was marking me so to try and put me of he kept pinching my ass along with a few other dirty tactics lol.
WIKI: He returned to Crystal Palace after a re-occurrence of his hamstring injury in a defeat to Barnsley on 28 March. Page described him as "the unluckiest player I think I have ever met with injuries".
Injury record checks out
Sign him up ASAP
As long as hes not drinking and assaulting people off the pitch or biting and double footing them on it, then I guess as a free it's alright.
I remember many a fond Sunday in that place when it was the Lazy Toad. Happy hour on a Sunday you could get get 2 bottles of wine for the price of one. Going back a bit though...
Maybe some clubs won’t touch him because of his injury record and his past. Gallen and Bowyer may be willing to take a chance on him as he’s free. There might be a player in there if he stays fit and Bowyer gets his head straight.
Plenty of IF’s but that’s what this salary cap will do.

You seem to be suggesting that this excuses his behaviour at 25?
If you are, I don't buy it, his record suggests that he is a nasty piece of work and I would hate to meet him in a pub.
Having said that, if he is a good footballer, I would happily have him as our nasty piece of work, we need more of them.
With the salary cap we may be at the point where it’s a choice between players like Innis, who may have the potential to improve a lot further, younger and perhaps completely untested players on loan (not ideal to play CB) or older players on the way down (could be good like Pratley or past it like Doherty).
Innis might be seen as the best option. For a player of his age to still be at Palace they must see potential in him.
A few have said he’s free - isn’t he still under contract, so we may pay a small fee?
Positives: passes the CL height test, had a good start at Newport County last season, isn't Deji Oshilaja, whole career to date as a centre half. Notsopositives: has something of an "edge", two red cards last season including a 5 match suspension for biting, eligibility for Trinidad & Tobago brings risk of Concacaf injuries
CAFC very much a beggar with limited choice at this moment in time and the defense is desperately short of numbers Who the heck is SportsPeteO anyhoo? UPDATE whoevertheheck he is he has similar sources to Cawley, which'll probably do for me.
Me Chelski supporting chum and devotee of age group football reckons the young Maatsen probably better than Josh DaSilva at the same age - which might lend weight to the feeling that a much more acceptable offer is being considered for Alfie Doughty

Perhaps it was because you have a really cute arse

Not if palace have had enough of him and just want to get rid

Could they have paid his contract up to make it affordable for us under the wage cap like they did for Williams.? That way it doesn't take up a loan spot.

Frankie Frazer+ clan, would often have Sunday lunch there, quiet as a mouse one has to say and surprisingly very pleasant company.

Well I assume that’s the case, you can’t keep loaning out players forever in case they come good. He’s 25, he needs to move on permanently and get regular football for the sake of his career.
That doesn’t mean he won’t be good enough for us and doesn’t still have Championship potential (and maybe more than that).

I was thinking the same - if Palace were happy to do that for Williams, maybe they'll do the same for this fella.
Makes sense, perhaps ...... and we get a player for a nominal cost under the wage cap.

Inniss had a troubled childhood, as his mother's drug dependency and his father's imprisonment left him to raise his two younger siblings as a teenager.

Newport had one of the better defensive records in league 2 last year though.
But this could work in our favour, not going to hold Inniss' past against him (As Dazzler says, he had a rough time growing up by the sound of things)
Bowyer will be able to relate to that behaviour to an extent and reckon he could be the perfect Manager to help just concentrate on his Football
