Crystal Palace FC Thread + Premiership Palaver

[Ant040689]

Impressed by Hull from highlights, underwhelmed by Cardiff. I think it is going to be tight at the bottom.

It looked a good atmosphere, and an important win obviously

btw, Gayle telegraphed the penalty, stared down the spot it was going for a good ten seconds. Westwood should have saved it, but it was a sign of Gayle's inexperience that keepers will be picking up on.

The pen was so bad, it was good.

It could have only be saved if the keeper didn't dive because it was so close to him it went under the last part him to hit the ground as he dived.

Lucky he hit it so hard.

Paper says you are bidding £5m for ulloa.

That should be enough to buy his left foot. Reckon £12-15m is what he's worth but should wait until jan when he would be starting upfront for arsenal.

£1.75m bid rejected for bridcutt too. £5m Should do it. Insulting bid from the pikeys!

Interesting article on "The myth of the ’20 goals per season’ forward".

Saw this on NSC did make me lol



Crystal Palace today bid 100 million pounds for the AMEX Stadium in Falmer, Brighton.

After days of speculation concerning them signing every available member of their rivals squad, it was confirmed that the stadium bid has gone in.

A statement from the club said the following:

‘In the absence of our ability to tempt away any more members of their squad, we felt that if we put in a bid for the Amex the players would feel more at home..’

‘The problem we have is that no-one wants to come to this neck of the woods, which we can’t understand, there are some perfectly nice Burger Bars.’

The 100 million pound bid may run into problem with funding though.

‘We’ve got the Zaha money; it’s the rest we need to source. We’ve been told that we may get as much as £50,000 for Selhurst Park though, which was a pleasant surprise.’

In other developments, Tony Bloom, the Brighton Chairman, is believed to be in hospital. Reports from the club indicate that he was taken in on Saturday night.

‘It’s nothing to worry about’ said a family member ‘but It was touch and go yesterday, it’s just that when he received the Liam Bridcutt bid it looked like he was going to die laughing….’

It has been revealed that the £5 million bid for Leo Ulloa is a hoax though.

‘We wouldn’t be so stupid to try and sign a striker with any quality at this stage,’ said Ian Holloway ‘Apart from the odd long ball and a very accommodating Sunderland defence, they would get rather cold standing around in mid-December waiting for action’.

Promised 3/4/5 more players today. Should be an interesting sweat.

How is Ulloa looking this year?  I've seen he's scored a few goals.  Has he kicked on again with a pre-season under his belt?

Very sharp

List of potentials.

Nicklas Bendtner, Mark Milligan, Barry Bannan, Moussa Sow, Callum McManaman, Liam Bridcutt, Andy Johnson, Gabriel Tamas and Tom Carroll.

Adrian Mariappa for 1 milly has been thrown out there.

[Ant040689]

I think I am going to hold myself from updating you every time I hear something and just try to collate news and give you some in one go every now and then, but as I am making this post. Mariappa and Barry Bannan are apparently having medicals as we speak, with a rumour that Bendtner has been spotted at the training ground.

Ladbrokes go 5/1 that Palarse make most TDD signings. Should we be investing Ant?

You don't want Maricrappa on last week's evidence I promise you.

I think we will get 4+ in.

Holloway himself said he wanted 5 in after the Sunderland game, so I would be surprised if we have less than 4. If that is likely to be the most, then get on it.

Jack hunt has signed.

Who?

[horseplayer]

decent full back

not sure if he is good enough but improved a lot last 12 months
