Winifred Zahaha £4M?

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It tends to lower the standard of posting.

Really ?

 

[Sheebo]

You chat so much shit

There's a difference to what Barnes does and what Zaha does. Barnes goes down under a slight shove/push (just like Murray does) and Zaha runs and runs and runs, starts to lose balance then leaves his leg around a player to 'go down'.



As for Mackail Smith, 12 goals this season and that's more then any one of your players so what you've basically said is that your team is a failure in the Championship

You've just proved that most of you Palace fans are thick as f***.

Spot on. CMS is well worth what we paid and that will show next season. Palarse fans haven't watched him regularly and are guessing. And even if we had paid too much what's the big fuss? We're OK for money thanks Palace. As for Zaha - great player but a complete cheat and cheated to scrape them the draw at shitehurst (otherwise it would have been THIRTEEN points we THRASHED them by THIS SEASON). Sweeeet.

PS - VERY VERY VERY much doubt Palace turned down SEVEN MILLION POUNDS in Jan. Paper talk / deluded Palarse talk.

Really ?

Yup. Every thread would be like the away end, and would get hijacked by your lot every other post.

"Haha Palace only have 9000 ST holders"
"Shut up you weren't selling out a 7000 seater stadium"
"Haha Palace are poor"
"Haha Brighton are JCL's"
"shut up pikey"
"go and have sexual intercourse with someone of your own gender"
etc.

I thought that the BBC were about as reliable as it gets for football info.
BBC Sport - Wilfried Zaha: Bolton offer £7m for Crystal Palace winger

In what way is that NOT sustainable you loon? Isn't "selling players to cover your losses" what you were saying we SHOULD have been doing while we were overspending? Isn't that what you have been doing for years and claiming that it makes you honorable and sporting? You can't have it both ways chap.

We lose roughly £2m-£3m per year without any cup runs or player sales. If we sell a player like Zaha every 3-4 years we make all of our money back. Geddit?

Yes that is what we were doing but even then we were losing money and the model is simply not sustainable. Without falmer we could not have continued like we were with player sales and the directors pockets plugging the debt. It is also a very risky way to run a business as you are gambling your future on the hope you will always have a promising academy product to plug the debt.

If you seriously think that is a sensible way to run a business then you are even more of a retard that your numerous deluded posts on this thread suggest

And you say I am welcome on there. Thanks for that.

I agree they normally are. That article doesn't have anyone aknowledging the £7mil at all. Certainly can't see Bolton offering it. If he goes for less than £7mil it would prove that January talk was wrong...

And when you get the calculations wrong or the players are not so good - you have your fall-back position.

You haven't sold a player for anywhere near the amount we rejected for Zaha, nor even the amount suggested in the pisstake of an article in the OP. It gets a lot easier to settle debt when your best player is selling for £10m, rather than £1m at most.

Had we not sold Moses during administration, we would've got a lot more. Even so, we got £3m and a large sell-on fee. We could've easily got double that if we were financially healthy like we are now, £3m was a pisstake. Zaha looks to be selling (when he eventually goes) for a lot more than Victor. Williams is coming through now, and looks a more rounded player even than Wilf, and could go for a massive fee too.

We've got Reise Allisani (sp) who is the highest paid youth player in the country because he is so good we had to match what Man City were offering him. Gus Sow is coming through and is almost as highly rated, as is Kyle De Silva.

I don't think we have to worry about our academy struggling to produce top quality players, especially once we get the Category 1 status under EPP (still an unfair system even though we will benefit from it). Evidently, Steve Parish has similar thoughts.

Was that the first one ?

 

[Glenn-Murray]

And you say I am welcome on there. Thanks for that.

I didn't say you'd like it

There are some decent posters (Fur Cough, Wigman...) but they are outnumbered by the dickheads (wehatepalace, 17yearsold, Easy 10 etc.)

Also, a model based on selling your best players may balance the books, but will not gain palace promotion.

You only go up by keeping your best players adding to your squad.

Palace finished where they did with zaha, apparently a player worth more than £7m. If he goes, at best you'll replace him with a couple of less able players

 

[Glenn-Murray]

Unless he's 9 years old, I don't think so.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Someone remind me how many administrations Palace have had now? Is it more or less than Portsmouth?

I've seen enough of CMS to form an opinion thanks very much.
That opinion is he'll run all day long, hustle and bustle defenders, but will need lots of chances to score.Head to head,Murray is a superior player,more intelligent, brings others into play, is a better header of the ball, and given the service, which was sadly lacking last season, would outscore CMS all day long.

You're right, it won't. Which is why we'll only do it if we don't get promotion in the next couple of years, according to Steve Parish. If we sold Zaha, even for £7m, we could replace him with 2 or 3 players in their prime (so that the value is based on ability alone, not ability and potential like Wilf's). Scott Sinclair for 600k, Ricky Lambert for £1m etc. spring to mind.

Freedman thinks we're 2 players away from the playoffs, and I agree with him. We were in the top 6 for 2/3 of the season until all of our injuries and the cup run reaching its climax. A few quality additions could well see us promoted.

And he didn't cost us a penny, rather than £2.5m+ for CMS will presumably higher wages. Unless of course a player who has just signed for £2.5m with a £250k signing-on fee doesn't want high wages

If you take the number of seasons you have spent in the Premiership and add two, you'll get the right answer

Lambert for 1m hoho, I'm not sure Southampton will accept the 20p in a pound trick they've been there themselves remember.

I was talking about how much they paid for him you prat
