Alex McCarthy set to be replaced by...

[lymehoop]

Did we? Thought it was the other way around lyme.

if I remember correctly Kev, we sold him to Arsenal for £1m and got him from Palace for £400,000. Made a good profit when he went to Spuds

[GWR]

If we want Bentley from Southend as a replacement we should move quickly. Hull have just had a £1m bid rejected. He's got one year left on his contract. Best young British keeper around.

heard about him, might be a good idea to loan him out to Southend for a season too, might swing the deal

Give you Charlie for Murray and Gayle............

Gayle for Charlie and it's a deal.

[Shepherds Mush]

He had his moments granted, but it could also be said that in general he is getting worse every year.

His kicking, reaction, foot speed and inability to come off his line when he should do is much more noticeable now than when he arrived.

Disappointed if he is our first choice again this year tbh.

I'd have to say that in reality, it is the exact polar opposite !

No deal. If its Gayle only, would be disappointed if we don't get 12mill too.

My memories shot (and he was my boyhood hero and my all time fave player), thought he went to the gooners from palace without hardly playing.

Yea, he went to the Gooners before Palace, as you say. Didn't really want to mention them though.

He went to Arsenal Kev, but they swapped him for Kenny Sansom before the season started and we got him back a bit later.

Good goal celebration about 9min 30 secs in :

I bet Clive would off got a ban and a big fine if he done that in today's game

[stanistheman]

We didn't pay £6m though did we, of course we wouldn't have a sell on fee for less than we paid.

I recall the fee was touted around at the time as being something near to £4M. It certainly wasn't being reported at less than £3.5M sothe release clause is disappointing to say the least.possibly agreed by the clueless football Chief Executive Phil Beard.

He did leave a few weeks later in a swap deal for Kenny Sansom. QPR bought him back a year later for around £400K.

Serious question, if Green is so much better than McCarthy why isn't he going to Palace for 3.5m instead?

And before u say why isn't McCarthy No.1 instead of RG at Qpr I will say it's because we don't want an experienced sub keeper on 50k a week.

...............I'm not saying Green isn't a decent keeper, cos he is. Just imo McCarthy is better and should be our No.1.

When Green turned down Chelsea........did they come looking for McCarthy?
