McCormack to Palace for £1M

[peterward]

Steve Parish has already said that the fee was not £400k. Like most, you're simply guessing. Why would we accept less than was offered in January? That'd be silly.

Do you have any press reports to back up that figure? The People reported the McCormack deal and valued Sean's transfer at £900k.

We're going to be a very upset bunch when all of these top class players decide that we're a "little club" half way through contract talks.

the people? pmsl.......450k + add ons and thus why I said JUST OVER 400k (and thats not from a tabloid newspaper)

 

[Foolg]

Every media source I read was reporting 400k

No no no, you don't understand. You increase every figure related to Palace, like how Zaha is worth £15 million, Scannell £900k, and the attendances include all freebies and those who don't attend. Even those with season tickets were on BBS saying how one week it would be announced 14k, the next week it would be half as busy, yet it would again be announced as 14k attendance.

 

[peterward]

Admit it (I can tell by your bitter post) you'd be GUTTED if this came off!

if it comes off i would be suprised McCormack (whilst getting big wages no doubt) would be so devoid of ambition. Gutted? dont flatter yourself, you finished 17th playing boring shit football, in a half empty dump with groupon deals to try and halt the decline in fans . your club is a joke, Admit it youre DESPERATE to try to and catch up with us.

Did he fall about laughing?

When he was shown a dvd of the 1-3 win at the Amex, yes

There's some real sh*t posted on here but this takes it to new levels.

1) due to the recession.. lol is palace the only ones to suffer
2)the defensive football.. and sht team
3) the stadium ..lol wake up there is not going to a new stadium or complete refurbishment, the best will be is a quick fix

Off course the recession will have an effrct on crowds, it will do at most clubs. The reason it doesn't at your's is because the novelty of the new stadium and the novelty of the new division. But if it wasn't for the recession, I expect there to be more demand.

Shit team? The same team that beat Man U and took 4 points off your tinpot outfit.

The stadium, well I'll believe what our chairman are saying over some biased seaweed

17th.

so they can afford £25 in good times but not £10 on groupon in hard times, same recession is in Brighton mate and guess what its a sell out.

you beat man u reserves and whilst you did well at the Amex it shows youre a good cup team by winning your cup final but youre a shit league team

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If you're be sarcastic then I don't know why? The 3 players mentioned are all class acts at this level.

I'm not I'd be suprised if the playoffs were the height of your ambition this season, with a player like McCormack you should be aiming for an automatic place.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

deletebeepbeepbeep is a Palace convert who came out as a one man Dougie Freeman fan club on another thread recently. As any Roman Catholic, Jew or Moslem will tell you, converts are the most fervent of the lot

Just recognising that they have made good signings recently, they show a lot of intent and will do well this season IMO anything less than playoffs would be a massive dissapointment for them.

With Sune Alunko that would be 4 players in their team at least too good for this division.

You really come across as bitter Mr Ward! 3-1 still hurts obviously, as does all the other vicious beatings I'm sure you have witnessed us deliver to you over the years. And just when it looks like you would finally have your revenge and a few years of dominance over us you come across a Palace side blessed with attacking players like Zaha and Williams and now potentially adding quality like McCormack. Must be pretty soul destroying.

 

[severnside gull]

Where have Palace conjoured this cash from? 1m would be a steal.

Yeah. Stolen from the tax man

(mud sticks when you've got form................)

Not entirely in disagreement that they have some good players and I too think they have a useful manager but the ground is a cess pit and this is a Brighton forum............. for that reason alone I don't think we should be encouraging the parasites from breeding off the success of this site

I now see the error of my ways

 

[philsussex]

From our chairmen, who have already said that there is a large transfer budget available for Dougie. Also, we've just received (apparently) £900k from Scannell and £2-£3m from Clyne.

There's a lot more to spend.

Oh dear. Spending money that you have no hope of earning back with your pitiful crowds. Heading for admin number 3?

If by 2nd season syndrome you are referring to us, would that be the same 2nd season syndrome that palace posters were this time last year telling us would reduce our season ticket holders?
