Martin Kelly to palace 1.5 million

[Premiership Dream]

Priced out by a Premier League team, it's not surprising. There's a few weeks to address the gaps.

The berk was a harmless play on Burke. What was your insult?

"you Berk" was directed at me so returning the compliment x

 

[Stat Brother]

We've done really well haven't we with the £8 million from Ulloa.....weve really got some great players

****!

So it is September, right oh I'll just go and turn my calendar over.




***I'm in no way saying the squad will look better in Sept, just that's the time to 'panic' about things completely beyond our control***

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Good player, nice bit of business. Way beyond our means though.

 

[drew]

Im not say we would of got this deal..............but its bloody good business and well negotiated is what im pointing out .....we cant even land a half whit from hudds over boro

How do you know it's good business? Do you know the signing on fee or his salary and bonus structure?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We've done really well haven't we with the £8 million from Ulloa.....

We lost £14 million last season so that will help to offset that so that we can beat FFP penalties. If you have a million a month to spare then maybe you should contact Tony Bloom.

 

[Black Rod]

He wasn't that far off the England squad that long ago. To pick him up for £1.5m is an astounding bit of business when you consider the premium there is attached to young, English players

 

[VHA on NSC]

Newcastle appear to be lining up a £4M bid for Winifred.

He may have popped in a couple of goals against your team in the biggest game of all, but at least you get to call him Winifred. Touchè indeed.

I heard from a very reliable source that they offered Caulker £70k a week. Dreamland for us right now

Your "reliable" source is wrong.

No-one is on over 40k a week, and they don't want to cause the usual problems.

Money to spend elsewhere first!

 

[Southern Scouse]

Gutted to see him end up at palace. Good business for them but if he can get the games and stay fit I would expect him to move onwards and upwards pretty soon.
At his age he wants PL football and ofc the beniifits that go with it. They will love him.

Because he's an very injury prone defender, and Liverpool didn't want to stand in the path of him rebuilding his career now he's reached mid-20's after devoting all his football years to them.

 

[8ace]

Liverpool to Croydon. One ****ing toliet to another.

 

[CPFC G]

Would seem to be a great signing for us for £1.5m, Just needs to pass the medical.

I think he can cover anywhere along the backline as well, Handy.

I think your 'reliable source' has Palace mixed up with money no object QPR, Fingers crossed they get relegated again and the football league deal with them severely over FFP.

Oh the irony

 

[CPFC G]

Oh the irony

FFP was not in place when we got promoted but if it had been we would have done ok,We got promoted on a smaller budget than the teams around us at the time (apart from dodgy loans Watford) Final table and wages paid-

Cardiff - £32.8m
Hull - £25.9m
Watford - £12.8m
BHA - £21.0m
CPFC - £18.8m
Leicester - £26.1m
Bolton - £37.4m

QPR as you well know have spent silly money on gaining promotion twice over the passed three seasons.

Source is a close friend of his. I was told Palace offered £70k a week but he didn't want to go. He's used this to his favour. QPR offered £40k, then £45k and ultimately £65k to get him due to the wages on offer at Palace.

Utter drivel, I'm afraid. It's quite well known by now that Palace pay low wages and make up for them in bonuses for survival etc.

The irony is that a palace fan is criticising another club for poor financial management when palace have a shocking record ( Two admins etc)

For as much as I hate palace, why would you want to go to a smaller club on less wages? I think your source is sauce.
