This is for all those fans who seem to be cutting their wrists at the fact that Murray is having a great season (2 years after he didn't renew his contract with us): By taking Dobbie off our hands, Palace have enabled us to have Mathew Upson for the last 18 games of the season. They have also...
In that case then, I'm surprised that there isn't a thread on a Palace message board questioning the reasoning behind freeing up 30K a week's worth of wages to one of THEIR promotion rivals!!!
So you'd be happy to pay somewhere in the region of 20K a week to keep him in the stiffs just so that he can't play (averagely) for someone else. And do this rather than having a former international centre back covering our shortfall in that position?!
This would be correct if he had been any good for us. He was any expensive bench warmer at best, and Upson has done way more in 5 games than Dobbie did in half a season.
