erm when did I say he is better than Buckley ? I havent seen enough of Buckley to form an opinion.
dont put words in my mouth thankyou ...
Agreed. So you'd agree at this point in the season, we are doing better of you? Being 4 points clear and having a GD of +2 over you.

However I am very satisfied with our season so far as I am sure you lot are with yours.

Nope. Cup semi-final meant we've taken our eyes off the league (Blackpool, Derby) to try to progress. Now that we're done with that, it's back to the League. I'll take a cup semi final and midtable rather than no semi and just upper midtable. In the League obviously you're on top, but you wouldn't have been without our distractions (unless you win tomorrow)
If Buckley is as good as Zaha (who is four years younger!) where are the £5m+ bids coming from? Zaha has 5 goals and 5 assists this season from wide, when he is constantly double-marked. He is a remarkable talent and will go for £10m in a year or two. Glad to see Parish deny any outwards activity so emphatically, proof that we are genuinely serious about keeping the young stars at our club.
Sorry guys, Buckley looks a top player but in terms of potential he doesn't compare to Zaha. Buckley may well become a great player, but anyone in the game will tell you that Wilf is going to the very top.

Thats not what Parrish said. He said Zaha wasn't on the market which is not the same as not for sale, the problem seems to be the price.

Ronaldo had his price. Every player in the world does.
The fact that it's "far more than what was offered (5m)" suggests that we're serious.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we've just rejected a bid higher than any bid for any Brighton player in your history?

Yea and tomorrow night Zaha will be sorting out the Paperwork in North London with Wenger, or Liverpool or whoever. Sounds like Parrish has one eye one the books, palace have done nothing to suggest they are being bankrolled by billionaires. Truth will out in 24hrs, if palace really are deperate, I reckon it may be a loanback by Liverpool though as Bolton will want him in the squad.
How so? You and Sir Nigel were both responding to the same quote that said we were doing better than you. Sir Nigel said yes we are, one would have to be an idiot to think otherwise. You said you think otherwise.

I love the way the Palarse fans think they be above us in the league if wasnt for fluckey cup run, we have been above them most of the season, so they deep down know that we a better team and we have beaten 2 premiership teams in Newcastle and Sunderland and nearly beaten Liverpool and still sitting easily above Palarse in the league as Poyet said in the home game vs them they were nothing for 80 minutes and then last 10 minutes we collapsed.
Palarse have average players who can raise game once in a while but we have better players therefore will end above them in league no doubt, doesnt matter on 2mrws result.

And it's all gone quiet..
My summary:
Zaha is good, but not worth £10m and won't be for at least a few more years, if ever.
He's has proven to be nothing more than a Craig Noone who has been slightly more profitable with his end product in terms of being double-marked, creating chances, exciting the crowd when he gets the ball, etc.

An 18 year old Craig Noone, who has just attracted a bid of £5m and yet isn't leaving? How many £5m bids has Noone attracted?
How many £5m bids have you ever received for ANY player?

We've just turned down a bid worth the equivalent of £5M this afternoon for Craig Mackail Smith from Reading , cash plus one of their players.

No you haven't. Six figures and Simon Church (£1m at most) was reported on here, and local journalists don't agree with any offer being made. This didn't happen, and even if it did would certainly not total £5m.
If anything CMS' value would have dropped since the summer, after doing reasonably but nothing special since he joined for £2.5m. I highly doubt his value would have doubled.

It was tweeted as a £3.5M monetary bid with Simon Church valued at £1.5M.

I'm sure Craig Noone would attract a couple of £5m bids if our manager put gave him an outrageously high valuation.
It wouldn't surprise me if in the near future bids that high (or higher) are made for Dunk, Buckley, Forster-Caskey and potentially Agdestein.
