As our academy is better than theirs, I think we could poach players from them if we wanted but they're not allowed to take players from us.

Define better?

They have nothing.......... Why would any great prospect want to join them ?
Only PL football 😟

Why do we need an Academy in Sussex when you gave us a quality striker for free:thumbsup:

Err...in recent games....seriously? Not even a blinkered **** like you could back him based on recent performances....could you? If that's your benchmark of 'quality' I think we're better off signing Leon Best on a permanent contract.

Surely they have right to have an academy where they like, just like us. It's up to the kids and parents to decide. I know that we are picking up some very good players from the London area and beating teams like Chelsea on selection. Leave Palace alone they are only doing what we are trying to do.

Agree Murray is quality and in hindsight we should have not got rid of him, but he was not the reason we did not go up the year you did, we had no problems scoring goals that year to be honest. We could have done with him this year though.

How can anyone say he's not quality and is the sole reason you didn't get promoted and we did, Only Brighton would give a player of Muzza's talent away on a free.

Did we really. Now there was me thinking he came to the end of his contract and he refused to sign another.
I suppose that has never happened to Crystal Palace, only Dikgacoi, Derry, Danns and Ertl spring to mind.

I see it as healthy competition. At the moment we've had a massive area and failed to produce anything of note, maybe if the talent spotters, coaches and general set up pushed harder they would find and develop the right kids.

Charlton have been doing Summer soccer schools in Crowborough for years !
About time Brighton started sorting their academy staff and scouts out, sounds like a joke.

Well Ok now you put it like that, you clearly missed his potential and fooked up and didn't offer him what he was worth.
I guess all we can say is thanks Bha.
