The annual Crystal Palace thread

[Shania]

Shania it's Zaha... He's bloody quick with a few tricks but not the finished product.. Sometimes it's worth risking it on players but he will be over 4 million.. I know he's young but he's hardly set the championship on fire...

Thanks for the info, Mellowhoop.


Could be that Rhodes from Huddersfield is a tad more interesting prospect.Who knows?

[QPRDave]

Ambrose must have very bruised shins through kicking himself so much, for rejecting our approach.Unless he would rather be a big fish in the champs, in which case we're lucky he turned us down.Seems to have gone off the boil these days apart from one strike v man u, he should rejoin NW at leeds only manager that gets the best from him

[Shania]

You could be right about the Leeds connection you are pointing out,QPRDave.

Quite frankly, to me he seems to be too much of a one-season wonder,really.
But who knows, he could have benefitted from a move to our club those few seasons ago.

Clyne's good but he won't settle for a squad place at a non top 4 club and I doubt Onuoha will be dropped. Parr can play left and right full back and would be a great squad player.

Rhodes is hugely overrated. No better than Le Fondre (costing £400k) who did okay coming off the bench for Reading but hardly set the division alight.

Gary Madine at Sheff Wed looks a better prospect - Andy Carroll lite - but he's still very raw also.

Would like to see us have a punt on Nick Powell at Crewe, probably good value at £2m or so.

Zaha is very inconsistant & that's my Crystal Palace friend telling that to me

I mentioned Madine on here a while back, good striker now, and will get better,
seems a good finisher, quick, and good in the air

We have enough "championship" players as it is who have had a good lesson in the premiership. We need players in the mould of Cisse and Diakite to avoid another relegation fight and I for one is gonna trust Mark and Tony to bring them in.

[Brooksie]

Was rather hoping they would be selling he's underpants in the club shop at a reduced rate. As they are rather expensive on the high street.

[EYR]

Don't want anybody from Palace.

[Shania]

Don't want anybody from Palace.

I started this thread partly of traditional reasons.
Or in other words, to cheer you folks a bit up after the Chelsea "disaster"



Remember the song from The Bee Gees; "It started with a joke"

Ps.You have to admit Clyne is a good player,don´t you?

[Yousef]

Warnock has gone so need to raid Palace again!

[Ginger Ninja]

Am I alone in thinking that if clyne was that good, he'd have been snapped up by a premier league club ages ago?

I feel the same mate. Not seen him too much to comment, although have to say he did look half handy when I have seen him, but its been a couple years his name been banded about and surley somebody would have made a cheeky bid for him if he was that good; ie Bale & Walcott?

would love for us to take a punt on nick powell. what a strike for that goal and got man of the match in the play off final. He's only 18 but is probably destined for one of the big boys!!
