Ur talking about someone who is still very young, this is why we always end up with old journeymen cause fans get on the young lplayers back straight away cause their raw, and in the next breath slag hos cause hes old and slow, can never win

How long do we wait though man, he hasn't improved at all over the last two seasons. £60.000 a week, £60,000. For what really

 

[Ian_O]

Or because we had too many we had to sell one to get another in, depends which way you choose to look at it really

Fair point, but if we had too many with him, getting a replacement would mean we have too many again, unless the plan is to offload Graham and or Fletcher too.

 

[Bishop Mackem]

They have a more dangerous midfield than us so will create for him.

Let's see how dangerous they think they are when m'vila is hunting them down

I don't think we should bank against getting rid of either of them.

Hes only 22 still i could see him being a 10-15 goal man in a few years

Obviously at palace hes been signed as a striker so will play down the middle and will have kebab playing him in now rather than larsson which might help

You say in a few years but we haven't got the strength in depth or the funds to pay one player £60.000 a week in the hope that in a few years he scores 10-15 goals a season.

 

[the streaker]

£9m for a 1 in 7 striker jesus h

we paid about £6 million for a 1 in three million one this time last year.............

Be amazed if he gets into double figures ever. Has never done that here. Palace are not some elite team. Seriously, most have watched in for the last 5 years. I don't know how people can have the opinion that he is going to suddenly transform into a prolific forward player. His shooting is abysmal. His touch is horrific. He works hard but doesn't use his size.

 

[The Best Is To Come]

£9m into the war chest and £60k off the wage bill.

Happy days, great business SAFC

 

[Reiver]

He couldn't trap sand, he shot when he should have passed, passed when he should have shot and got bullied off the ball easier than I would have, and that's just for starters. The arguement that he was played out of position doesn't wash because wherever he was played he should have been much better at all of the above.

This is a total invention that's become another 'SMB fact.

In reality, no one knows if he actually wanted to play wide or whether his natural position is centre forward do they?

 

[10 Trenches Deep]

Youre about the third poster here..........the op says the £9 million is "inclusive" of any add one.........

...doh.

I read what I wanted to see rather than what was there. Oh well. I'll downgrade that from a great deal to a reasonable one for a striker who isn't going to play much for us.

Who?

 

[xmfd]

Hopefully we don't live to regret this one. Splits opinion on here but we all know what Wickham is: a young English player who hasn't performed as we'd hoped. Will he push on at Crystal Palace? Will be interesting to see.

He has already been replaced by Lens, and his wages will most likely be used on M'Vila and Fer they both come on loan.

Very good business in my opinion, hopefully we have a sell on clause!

 

[Unashamedly Handsome]

Weird. We have players far more mediocre than Connor. We always seem to end up selling our better players.

Who?

Think he means Josmer but that was two years ago.

I'm sure you can forgive someone for wanting to forget he spent two years here.

In reality, no one knows if he actually wanted to play wide or whether his natural position is centre forward do they.

And even if he was played out of position, the things he wasn't good at wouldn't have mattered wherever he played. If he was playing up front he'd still have been too easily pushed off the ball, still struggled to make the right decisions and he'd still have had a dodgy first touch.
