It would appear the transfer window does not apply to just football clubs. No, even the naughty, nutty, neo-Nazis like to jump from one disastrous ship to another every now and then. Sometimes, like football, it is just a loan move with a view to something more permanent. Or not.
Like most loan deals (if you are a Palace fan) these normally end in disaster. And although we are very excited at Selhurst Park about the arrival of Mr Loftus-Cheek, I bet that is nothing compared to the excitement over at Britain First with the imminent arrival to their ranks of the one and only Andrew Edge.
