Missed out on a Premier striker ... to Palace.

[MattBackHome]

Jesus.

1. I think Wilbrahim is a VERY loose definition of "Premier".
2. I can see deals being done much later this close season, especially for players, in contract, who really are "Premier". This is largely because of the manager merry-go-round we've just had and the fact that Europe's elite players are still all at the Euros. I doubt any top side knows it's full requirements yet and therefore who they are willing to make available for transfer or loan.
3. Where is the evidence we 'lost out'? "Palace have signed" is way different to "we have lost out on".

Chill Winstons.

I take your point, but remember that we lost out on Podolski too.

Seriously can we all stop wondering and reacting to what Palace have done or not done. Is that the limit of our ambition to compare ourselves to them? Let's trust Gus, trust TB and focus purely on Albion, personally I couldn't care less what that shower are doing or have done.

Tim, the thread is in response to a tweet from Alan Navarro, it was he who mentioned Palace.

Well it's taken you long enough to get into the same league as us, so why not, oh I forgot Albion are a MASSIVE club now.

I wouldn't class Wilbraham as a Premiership Striker, he has been stuck in League One with MK Dons nearly all his career. Palarse can have him, far as I'm concerned.

 

[El Turi]

I hope we weren't in for him. A big donkey who has probably only ever scored a couple of goals above league 1 level. I'd put him alongside Billy Paynter ability wise.

Like CMS?

 

[sir albion]

Average players are snapped up early and offered stupid deals,the best players are signed a lot later. FACT

Like CMS?

If you consider 19 to be 'a handful', yes.

CMS (above League One) 19 in 88 app.
Wilbraham 4 in 42.

Typical relegation signing.

 

[Dougie]

A good solid addition to the squad .

I prefer the post from your fellow Palace fan above yours.

Another striker that doesn't really score goals, yes just what you needed

 

[peterward]

A good solid addition to the squad .

a complete failure at premiership level, looks at 2 clubs.

In one he sees much competition in getting a game and a club who finished 10th, gearing up for a push to the league he has just failed in.

at the other he sees, limited competition and a crumbling club going backwards, with little chance of returning to the league he just failed in and therefore game time.

a good solid addition to a championship relegation battle who may well one day be the star of their own league 1 assault to win back the status quo

Fellow palace fan ?

 

[Dougie]

Another striker that doesn't really score goals, yes just what you needed

He is replacing someone who was less prolific

 

[Hillian1]

Fellow palace fan ?

Yep, the only non-deluded one amongst you all.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

You might score 2 more goals then this season, that will see you up the table

 

[Red'n'Blue]

A good solid addition to the squad .

It really isn't. We need someone who scores goals. Not someone who old and after his last big pay day.
