Dobbie has gone!

[Syph]

Phillips is 40
CHAMAKH, is shit
Gayle, to much of a step up for prem not ready yet
Puncheon, Meh!!!!!

At 38 Phillips scored more Championship goals than anyone in your team (at Blackpool). At 39 he held his nerve to score an important penalty, after scoring 7 goals from January. At 40, he still looked classy. You judge Ryan Giggs? Don't judge Kevin Phillips.

Chamakh has a Champions League record and a good pedigree, before being marginalised by his own club. He looked good on Saturday. I remain optimistic.

Gayle is an Arsenal trainee, who dropped out and rose back up again, quickly. I remain optimistic.

Let's see what happens on Saturday and then you can see whether you're correct.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

All joking aside, of the Palace squad I'd have Speroni as a back-up to Kuszczak, Williams definitely, Bolasie probably, and maybe Campana and Gayle for their potential. I might have Dobbie back because I never thought he had a proper chance here, and he tends to come good in the playoffs. I've seen enough of Chamakh to know that I'd prefer Ulloa any day of the week. Jedinak? Sooner or later referees are going to spot the way he leads with his elbow on most headers and start dishing out red cards. Looking at their squad list, there's nobody else really.

Oh behave mate. Phillips is still a potent threat in short bursts but will struggle for longer than 20 minutes. Chamakh is mediocre at best and Gayle? You are having a laugh. Arsenal found him out very quickly.

Fair play on your optimism but your faith is misplaced.

 

[supaseagull]

You think that we're a laughing stock because we signed Dobbie ?

Yep that's pretty much it.


If you don't like it, then don't log onto a BHA message board.

 

[yxee]

Bolasie won't be near our first 11, we have just signed Puncheon who is ten times the player that Will Buckley is. You think Ulloa is better than Chamachk? Please.

Has chamackh EVER done anything in English football?

 

[saafend_seagull]

Has chamackh EVER done anything in English football?

Chamakh has three goals in THREE years.

Top 10 flop of all time in the prem.

Are you really trying to compare Ryan Giggs and Kevin Phillips? C'mon be serious, the only thing they have in common is their age. 1 is a journeyman and the other has played for the most successful English club in history for his entire career

None of our players have scored any goals for Blackpool in case you hadn't noticed.

Chamakh has a champions league record of what? Ask west ham fans what his "pedigree" did for him last season he's an overpaid slightly younger Wilbraham

Gayle is a trainee? £6.5m for a trainee that's the funniest thing you've ever posted on here.

Syph the palace numpty, the gift that just keeps giving. Looking forward to your next instalment.

Not sure if you can read, but what I said was Phillips scored more goals at Blackpool in the season that he was 38 than anyone in your team. He also scored 7 goals last season from January onwards. For someone who will make brief cameos, he is plenty good enough.

West Ham rate Andy Carroll, I don't think we need to debate that point any further.

The Gayle fee is nowhere near £6.5 million. He was an Arsenal trainee and was reeased. Lots of players get released from bigger clubs and make their way back up again. There's nothing funny about that.

I'm not a numpty, I just have a different opinion on our players than you. I've said leave it until the weekend, but if you lot keep quoting me, I'll keep popping back and replying with my opinion.

Not quite true - remember Hammond last year?! That was a fun afternoon.

But they're in the Premier League and we're not?

It's been widely reported EVERYWHERE the fee is exactly this, and it will rise if he activates certain clauses. Give it a rest you bell end

 

[Rugrat]

First six pointer coming up

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

But they're in the Premier League and we're not?

So Joel Ward and Aaron Wilbraham are technically Premier League players - would you rather see them in the Albion team than Bruno and Ashley Barnes? Some of us are unconvinced about Barnes, but Wilbraham has scored two goals in the last two seasons...

Jason Muncheon......


Im suprised Palace have not gone for Phillips from Blackpool

And Ulloa scored 11 between early feb and the end of the season, yet you still compared Phillips to Giggs

Chamakh is shit, he was shit at arsenal and he was shit at west ham. What do you think has changed in the last 3 years?

The fee for Gayle has been reported everywhere as £6.5m ( ) rising to £8.5m ( ) but you carry on ostrich style, I'm sure you're a comedy genius

I await your next comedy instalment

I'd probably take Joel Ward over Bruno (given the latter's injury record and age), but not Wilbraham over Barnes.

Whatever we say, though, the two Palace boys succeeded where ours couldn't.

Fact is that the fee is undisclosed, so people - including you - make up what they want to hear. We've confirmed that he was our record signing, which was around £2.75 million previously, so it'll be equal or more than that figure. Anything else is a guess.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Didn't Dagenham(?) blab the amount they received as sell on, which can be used to extrapolate back the total fee given the %age figure of this sell on is known

Can't be bothered to look it up and work it out, but I've a feeling it came out to around 6 million. Might be wrong.

£3m would be a great deal. He gave those Spurs defenders a torrid time on Sunday.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Seems Chamakh has already accepted Palace's fate.

From The Guardian: "Chamakh signed a one-year deal at Selhurst Park last week. "There were several opportunities in Greece, Turkey, Spain, France and even the Middle East. But I prefer another season in England because I love this championship. I know I'll have plenty of time to play here [at Palace]. I'm going to get chances, and find the net."
