Palace after Buckley. (according to Palace journo)

[Mellotron]

They can have him for £3m.

Corrected.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Oh dear, it's time for me to find a dark room & turn The Smiths up to full..'Panic on the streets of Falmer'

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

A bidding war is a good thing. He's yours for £2.5 million, £3.5m if you stay up.

So £3.5M if he goes to Sunderland , £2.5M if he goes to Palace.

 

[KZNSeagull]

And where will he fit into their 68 man squad or however many it is they have now?

 

[Footsoldier]

Would sell him for 2 million even if it was to them.

We have to give Watford 15% so that is a shit price to sell at.

 

[nwgull]

2m is a good deal. He's played in 18 out of 28 competitive games and was probably not 100% in most of them. We miss Conway far more right now.

I think the plan is to recruit players to keep them in the Championship next season and avoid what Wolves did.

We do miss Conway, but we desperately need some pace in this team, selling our fastest player isn't going to resolve the situation.

Buckley fit for the game on saturday ? is he ? thought he done a Hamstring 3 weeks ago

 

[MattBackHome]

I would sell if the bid tops £3million - maybe less if his injury problems are likely to be a recurring theme.

Would be a £2million profit on a player who has been inconsistent and struggles with injuries and does not seem to fit into Oscar Garcia's approach which seems to favour more central players than out and out wingers.

That isn't to say I don't rate/like Buckley. I do. But that sort of fee would be a club record, could be part used to tackle the annual losses and reinvested in the squad. Also, likely to be a decent earner, so wages could be reinvested elsewhere.

Happy if he stays. Won't be too bothered if he goes, for the right price.

Totally agree with all of this. I appreciate his value to the squad, and he can be devastating, but I would be halfway to Torremolinos by now if they offered £3m.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Hopefully with teams showing an interest in him it might make him up his game a bit. Been poor this season IMO & £2m+ would be a great price for him & allow us to bring decent reinforcements in.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Swap for Jedinak or Murray if Ulloa goes, anyone?

 

[grummitts gloves]

IMHO it would be a huge mistake to sell him now. I don't have a problem with the players we have sold so far and although I'd rather keep Bridcutt, I can see the potential business sense, plus he's asked to leave. Can't help feeling we will need 'Big Willy' for the run in to the end of the season. Just relying on Kaz & Solly won't be enough, even if Conway does come back. Buckley offers us something different to what we already have, when injury free and on form. He hasn't become a crap player overnight. To summarise, I'd be gutted regardless of who we might sell him to.

Or have the opposite effect like Bridcutt.....

Oh boss I can't play today I don't feel I can give a 100%

Would love to try that line on my boss.....

Christ I didn't think of that. I was in the real world for a minute & forgot how precious 'professional' footballers can be.

Not great this season but he's often been used in the wrong position. A fit Buckley, playing on the wing, with his pace, is a huge asset to the team. Remember how many times he destroyed full-backs last seaon? He will be difficult to replace if he goes.

 

[backson]

Agent Buckley, you know what to do. Get in there, f*** em up and come out again. Good luck

Garcia would say "you haven't been 100% all the time I've been here, what's new?"

There is no way Palace would sell Jedinak to anyone if they had a choice, yet alone loan him out. Jedinak's sale would end any chance of survival in the Premier League which puts his value to Palace at an astronomically high figure. Buckley for Murray is almost as laughable.
