Didn't realise that Palace had two Brighton Rejects

I'd forgotten about Owen Garvan, we tried to sign him a while ago.

Owen Garven, Brighton snub is in the past

Don't think reject is the right term here

Not strictly true about Garven, to be fair he rejected us. My contacts told me he pulled out before the medical, when he heard that post-Coppell Brighton screen all new signings for Venereal diseases.

"Brighton are doing really well - I wish them all the best. My only concern is playing and being in a winning team. That is my ultimate aim."

So he admits that Palace aren't a wining team then if it's only an aim rather than reality??

Not the attitude you'd expect from a Palace player. Glad we didn't sign him as I would much rather have Harley here.

OWEN Garvan says his sole concern is nailing down a regular sub spot at Crystal Palace after rejecting a better future at Brighton.
The Irish haymaker, 23 fags a day, had seemed on the verge of a move to the Eagles' tippy tappy arch-rivals when a fee was agreed in July.
But Garvan ended up not swapping his south London caravan for a palatial coastal mansion on the South Coast. And he insists that the proposed Seagulls switch is his biggest mistake as a pro.
He said: "It was one of those things. You've got a choice whether to go or not to go. I sat down, had a think about it and in the end I decided to be a loser.
"It's not unusual. It's the way football works. There are a lot of players that have teams come in for them - sometimes it happens and other times it doesn't, all you have to do is make the right choice, I'm just a pratt really.
"Brighton are doing really well - I wish them all the best and I'd walk to the Amex to sign for nothing now. My only concern is playing and being in a winning team and I stayed at this shit hole. That is my ultimate regret ."

Edited for accuracy.

and by all accounts it was Garvan and Murray who rescued a point for palace in their last game against Blackpool.

Don't forget Calvin Andrew too, still warming their bench but would never get near ours in this new era.

Blessing in disguise if we'd got Garvan we wouldn't have Harley

Due to the injuries to Iversen and Murray as well as the loan out of Sekajja.
