All about opinions, but I'm chuffed. £2.75m is a good price for an exciting nippy striker who scored some crackers last year. He had a decent length contract with Posh but he definitely improves us, and is the kind of player who (if we do go down as is likely) will help us mount a serious challenge to come straight back up.

Exactly the kind of signing I want us to be making.

All joking aside, I agree that Gayle IS a good signing.

£3m to £6m seems an AWFUL lot of money though, for a player who 13 months agao was playing Ryman's League football.

Scoring over 50 goals! We took Ian Wright from non-league and he was quality. Gayle's not as big a gamble as that, since he shone last year for Posh.

Always hard to know if someone will make the step up to the Prem, but these are exactly the type of signings I want us to make.

This. Palace fans would be laughing their heads off at us if we were signing him for that money.

So do I.

5 Million?

2.5 rising to 3 on goals to be accurate, so 2.5 million TOTAL.

Regardless, £2-3 million for Gayle against the backdrop of a £120m windfall is infinitely preferable to £2-3 million for CMS against the backdrop of a £120m debt.

Hahahaha.

Wright signed for free.

This lad is costing you MORE than THREE MILLION pounds. I think that MIGHT be considered the 'bigger gamble'.

To be fair Gayle could be their top scorer next season (4 goals)

You paid nearly the same for CMS, who had already shown he couldn't cut it in the Championship, he you were all raving what a great signing he was.

Gayle at least has never failed in the division we're signing him for.

We don't have a debt of £120m. HOW MANY TIMES does this need to be explained?!

It doesn't have to be explained at all.

We paid LESS, for a player who was MORE proven.

 

[VHA on NSC]

Hahahaha.

Incorrect. I believe we furnished Greenwich Boro with new kits and a set of goalposts for his services.

 

[Mellotron]

It doesn't have to be explained at all.

So you acknowledge you're just being a troll. You must know by now that we don't actually have a debt of £120m.

Didn't Gayle score about the same goals for Posh in nine games on loan than CMS scored in his whole last season for them? Unless of course you mean CMS's inadequacy was more proven, in which case I wholeheartedly agree.

No, I know it apparently doesn't count as a debt because so much is owed to Tony, who has shown no signs of ever wanting his money back aside from appointing an enforcer to squeeze as much money out of the fans whilst cutting back on club expenditure both on and off the pitch.

Well if his number of posts about Lewis Dunk is anything to go by, then you could be in for a long hard battle.

 

[gripper stebson]

So my occasional visit to this thread finds the Palace fans gloating about signing a Peterborough player for £3m in their quest for Premier League survival. Brilliant.

 

[Hillian1]

Without doubt this VHA character is the most pompous arrogant **** ever to post on these boards.

Amazing. I don't miss @Glenn-Murray anymore, I think you might be even funnier!
