Let's all laugh at Crystal Palace

Abysmal touch, had 87 shots last year and scored 5 goals (1 of which wasn't even a shot). That's an abysmal ratio.

I don't know why people are calling him out best striker, he couldn't cement a place upfront, the season he 'kept us up' all the goals bar the the 2 vs City were from set plays.

Well that's his big failing isn't it.

He'll get into a position where we're attacking and he has players running off him ..... he'll have absolutely no chance of scoring but will wind himself up and fire in a half arsed attempt that rarely reaches the penalty area.
In fact, I'm wondering now what his best goal is, has he ever scored from a challenged header or a long range shot?
 
Just posted this in the Wickham thread too, going to choose to believe the Echo with this one

@SunderlandEcho: Connor Wickham’s move from Sunderland to Crystal Palace could be done today: Connor Wickham’s move to Cr... http://t.co/yalFCS22cP #SAFC

Would be surprised that a team in London didn't match his salary mind you. Saying that , 60k is a lot of wedge. Might want an increase on those terms too. Still think it will go through today though.
According to the Echo it will ;)

I don't think Palaces revenue is much more than ours tbf if it is at all.

Remember Palace is in a total shithole and they have a shite ground so corporate tickets are small compared to other London clubs.

I would be amazed if their revenue is anywhere near ours. If it is we should be getting a new board of Directors! We have a bigger stadium, a higher profile, major concert venue, major match and other hospitality opportunites, we have bars a plenty in the ground, we must sell more strips etc........

On the other hand they do have 350 lads who get themselves by the corner flag, where they know the cameras pick them up, sing the same dreary song for 90 minutes and wave little flags on sticks ........ that guarantees the media claim their support is phenomenal.

Just checked ours is higher by £14 million.

One of his goals against Man City was a cracking finish, the ball came across him & he planted in in the near post.
His first goal for us v Villa was decent too.
 
You obviously can't read either....that article states that "Pardew has already brought in Wickham".

If you read it again , it does say he is still on the market , meaning Conner Wickham is not definite .

Nowt special though is what I'm saying, I don't think he has it in him.

That's just to bring down Wickham's wage demands ........... smart move on your part.

I don't deny that it says that they are "still on the market", however, rightly or wrongly it states that he has already "brought in Wickham" which would suggest, rightly or wrongly that Llorentes would be in addition to Wickham, if in fact the alleged signature of Wickham is true. For the record, I doubt that he has actually signed and would suggest that the whole article is a worthless bit of page filling.
