That's very honest of you. Something we've all known about your team for a long, long time.

12 million for Collins, the game has gone mad, not rated at West Ham. Do not think Dunk is worth anything like that either. Until the premiership gets real, then football will struggle in this country and British players are over valued, thus teams get value from foreign players, making our England team weaker, it ain't rocket science? Thought the Palace hoodies were demonstrating against the money game a while ago, very quite now?

Quite surprised this thread has been allowed to rumble on for so long.

To flush out Collins , sorry Tomkins . I've never rated dunk pres , he makes a lot of errors and the red mist often descends . That's only my opinion but he has suitors that can't be denied , IMO he needs another solid season in the championship , cut out the silly stuff , then he will move on if you don't go up .
That's fair enough, when Dunk is good he's very, very good but does need to iron out the glitches.
Can't get excited about Tomkins though, Benteke could be either very good or very bad, but £30m is a lot of money for a Marmite player.

I think Tomkins is a solid experienced centre half who is highly rated by West Ham fans , he will be a good signing for us . Benteke ? Personally I rate him and in our system he would fit right in , he is the ideal spearhead . If we sign him and he plays regularly he will get back to his best , he has the pedigree .
Just like Chamakh and Adebayor they had pedigree.

Benteke is only 25 , he will come again . Those two will only be looking for a last payday . As you should be aware not all signings work out as planned .
You better hope so for that money. There is no guarantee he will be a success again, you know that, although you are right he has got pedigree.

To be honest, with Bloasie and Zaha either side, he should get plenty of ammunition, unlike at Liverpool.
Just depends if he fancies it or not.

Every signing is a gamble . Look at your record signing for instance . We must have the money or we wouldn't do it , Steve isn't silly with money and we saved a lot with the players we released . After our second half of the season it was obvious we needed to get quality in and by the looks of it we're doing just this .

Not signed by the current manager, who has got value for money in all of his signings to date and whos values have probably quadrupled since they came to Brighton.
Do you really trust Alan Pardew with lots of money to spend.- His most successful seasons at Newcastle were when he played with Chris Hughton's left over team team.- Once he was given millions to spend by Newcastle to bring in new players they blew up and were relegation threatened most years.
It is not about how much money you spend. It's about who spends it on your behalf and how he then sets about getting the best out of that money once they start to play
Palace are like that annoying bird on Facebook who is skint and post about eating KFC and McDonalds, then suddenly gets a rich boyfriend and is buying Gucci handbags and eating at fancy restaurants....Everyone still knows they are fake and common and will one day come crashing back down to earth crying!!!

Tbf, Chamakh was quality until he did his hamstring at the end of the 2014/5 season.
Adebayor was a gamble that didn't come off, well past his prime.

Anything's better than reading second rate political theorizing when it's constantly Pienaar, Kuensberg, Robinson and co on tv and radio.
