Na, you're right...
Manchester Uniteds number 2 goal keeper for 4 years now at Brighton
A Uefa cup winner who turned down Real Madrid when they offered £31million for him
A striker who was wanted by many clubs in the Premier League but chose to sign for us.
Should be exciting to see what happens this summer for us
Number 2 goalkeeper? Surely you mean number 4? De Gea, Lindegaard and Ben Amos all played ahead of him.
Vicente in his current state isn't worth £1m. That bid also was a lot less than £31m as it was actually in euro's. Also, that was before his career ending injury and while he was still a Spain player.
A striker who it turns out is actually a bit shit. Yeah.
Very impressive list mate.

£3m from Wigan for Moses (disgracefully low but we were in admin
) We also got a 10% sell on fee.We've turned down £7m for Zaha. We could have accepted that to bring the total to £10m.
We're about to get anywhere from £2m-£3m for Clyne when he leaves.

You appear to know an awful lot about man utd, think the word is plastic.
You realise that the squads change after seasons don't you? Inniss and King are graduating to U18 Academy level this season (2nd years), so they are low level U19s. However, with the invite that has been extended to Palace to join the U21 Premier Academy League, they won't be needed in the U18s.
However, we've had 3 more kids invited to join the England U16 camp this season.
Moses fee includes a 20% of profit fee. If Moses was sold for £10m, we would get £1.5m.£3m from Wigan for Moses (disgracefully low but we were in admin
We've turned down £7m for Zaha. We could have accepted that to bring the total to £10m.
We're about to get anywhere from £2m-£3m for Clyne when he leaves.
We have got shafted in the past on Bostock and Moses. But luckily Zaha and Williams are both on 5 year contracts. If they both continue to develop then both are easily 8 figure players in the not to distant future.

except as your good friend Mr Murray constantly points out - they haven't left (yet) and you are so mega rich anyway that you have no need to sell (except for Scannell of course but at least £900K (sic) of the £400K transfer fee is being made available for your manager to spend so that is ok isn't it.........................
Which way do you guys want it
(sorry, of course we know that you want it every way to suit you - especially if the taxpayer, local businesses and charities can bale you out when your poor command of maths lets you down again)

It's what happens in an ethnic area. Hopefully it brings more ethnic minority fans to actually attend games instead of a Sky Season Ticket.

For the last time, the fee was NOT £400k. Just repeating it over and over doesn't make it true.

There is some real drivel on here about Palace.
They played some dire football last year, finished below us, and aren't getting good crowds.
BUT: McCormack would be a great signing, several on here are so jealous that Palace are having the audacity to bid for good players that they need to mock their financial position. Not sure why those people don't think it's cost us a small fortune turning the Amex into a great stadium and just assume we'll be turning a profit straight away.
Some people need to wake up and see that, although Palace have relatively poor crowds at the moment and a crap stadium, they are quietly going about their business in a sensible manner and have a pretty decent chance of a reasonable finish this year - maybe even above us! Let's hope it doesn't come to that though...

Possibly the same number as Palace fans who post on their own forum?
