Some transfers come to light only when a footballer is spotted relaxing on the yacht of a rival club's billionaire owner or dining at the favourite restaurant of their chief executive, but a young Crystal Palace player has moved the whole business into the modern era by posting details of a proposed move on his Facebook page.
Ashley-Paul Robinson, an 18-year-old winger who has been with the Championship side for five years, wrote a message on the social networking site announcing that he was having a trial with Fulham. His 194 Facebook friends were not the only people able to read exciting news of his dalliance with the Premier League club, however. The message could be seen by all 2.7m members of the site who have joined its London section, unwittingly breaking the story to supporters of both clubs and to anyone else in the capital interested in reading candid transfer gossip.
Robinson posted a message on Saturday which read: "Ashley-Paul is goin fulham on monday. If i pull dis off im on dis ting." On Sunday he added: "Ashley-Paul is travling 2 Bath With Fulham Fingers Crossed."
After news of the move spread, he posted a new message yesterday afternoon saying: "Ashley-Paul has been very naughty lol!"
Palace, however, have not found Robinson's frankness a laughing matter. "It's pretty embarrassing for the club that this guy is telling the world he's looking to leave the club," said a Palace source. "Perhaps someone should tell him to be a bit more private about what he's putting on the internet."
Robinson has been at Palace since he was a 14-year-old academy player and he broke into the first team at the end of last season, making his first-team debut as a late substitute against Preston North End in March. A month later he was offered a new contract by the club's manager, Neil Warnock, but a parting of the ways now seems inevitable. "We feel it's probably better that he looks elsewhere to further his career," said Warnock.
Isn't it HAHA or what?

命运就是这样爱玩弄人。当你设法铺陈；想见一个人时，就偏偏擦身而过。在最不恰当的时候，他就偏偏出现在你脸前。以后抓鼻孔时要小心喔，你的心目中的女神有可能出现啊！
十面埋伏
闻说你时常在下午来这里寄信件
逢礼拜留连艺术展还是未间断
何以我来回巡逻偏仍然和你擦肩
还仍然在各自宇宙错过了春天
只差一点点即可以再会面
可惜偏偏刚刚擦过十面埋伏过孤单感更赤裸
总差一点点先可以再会面
彷佛应该一早见过但直行直过
只差一个眼波将彼此错过
迟两秒搭上地下铁能与你碰上么
如提前十步入电梯谁又被错过
和某某从来未预约为何能见更多
全城来撞你但最后处处有险阻
只等一个眼波
轨迹改变角度交错寂寞城市又再探戈
天空闪过灿烂花火和你不再为爱奔波
总差一点点先可以再会面
悔不当初轻轻放过现在惩罚我分手分错了么
分开一千天天天盼再会面
只怕使你先找到我但直行直过
天都帮你去躲躲开不见我
