Why on earth do you think McCormack will be signing for Brighton? McCormack will be a Palace player as soon as Varney signs for Leeds.
What evidence do you have to suggest that Zaha will be sold? You're just guessing. It seems very unlikely to me.
Murray will not be a first choice striker for us. He'll be in rotation with Wilf/McCormack.
You are letting the rivalry cloud your judgement.

Unfortunately for you, Raul, Owen and Heskey are unlikely to be signing for you. McCormack is probably going to be a Palace player next year.
Zaha last year scored 9 goals and got 5 assists. Murray was a rotation player last year, and has the potential to do very well this year. McCormack scored 19 goals and hopefully will replicate that form with us

I kind of think you might be right. But for the life of me, I can't imagine why he'd sign for Palace when other clubs are reported to be interested in signing him. Everything about Palace just reeks of depression and decay.

What like Murray did, he is going to find it hard especially in relegation threaten team. He will realise this so he won't jump onboard your sinking decaying ship.

even if you do sgn McCormack you've got to get the ball to him so he can score and Ambrose was the only one likely to be able to pass it to him. you could have tried hoof ball up to him and Murray but Clyne has now left and you'll stuggle to get the ball much past the half way line.
If you don't make some very big signings then Palarse will be relegated

Dougie. It's all about Dougie. He's got some sort of Paul McKenna hypnosis technique that he uses. Every player that signs for us says that Dougie was the clincher. He has a massively persuasive vision for the club and he is very "hands on" with his approach.
(That and money, but that goes for any club)

Ambrose didn't play in quite a few games last season. He was largely used as a sub, and when he started he was taken off by the 70 minute mark.
Jon Williams and Wilf Zaha will be our main creators next season I think, but Dougie is currently trying to sign another creative player so who knows.

Just because you say it, doesn't mean it's true. Literally all available evidence points to Palace having a significant amount of money to spend. Dougie had a "play-off sized" transfer budget to begin with, and we've added to that with several million pounds worth of transfer fees.
You are just making stuff up because you like the sound of it

You're haemorrhaging millions every year though, with no real chance of earning significant income for the next few years at least. And is dippy Dougie really that much of an attraction with his much mooted negative style of play?

Then why the f*ck are players leaving Palace like whores out of a minibus on boat race night ?

Have you left out Rickie Lambert because he only scored 27 times for Saints last season

Nobody (apart from Clyne, who made it clear he was leaving last year) has wanted to leave Palace this season. Scannell and Ambrose were sold, they didn't ask to leave, as Dougie wanted them off the wage bill and didn't want them for next season.
Dougie is in the middle of a re-building job. Ambrose said he wanted a new contract, and Scannell had signed a 3.5 year deal last season. Dougie just didn't want to keep them. Ambrose's wages were too high, and Scannell apparently had some issues off the pitch as well as not fulfilling the potential he definitely had on the pitch.

I know everyone gets hung up on a 20 goal a season striker but last season only two strikers made that, Lambert and Vaz te, and they finished 2nd and 3rd. THe team that won the league, Reading, had a top scorer with 12 goals, only 1 more than Barnes, and their next top scorer had 8 goals, one less than CMS, so if the rest of the team chip in and you have a solid defence then it isn't necessary to score loads. 46 goals in total could win you the league. Before our poor run at the end of the season we were only 4 goals and a couple of clean sheets behind reading. Our defence is now looking good and so we should have more freedom and confidence to go forward so more goals should follow. You can look at the team with the best individual players or you can look at the team that plays the best as a team. Germany have shown that internationally that you can go a long way without great players but having a great team.

No these are the "top" two players of the teams in the championship for this coming season

Which great players has he persuaded to sign then? I must have missed them all! Dougie Freedman, his Lank Greasy hair, and obsession with young men is not going to be the clincher in getting any real quality to sign I'm afraid to tell you.
