[Horton hears a few]

Plenty of players have somehow played in the Premier League, it doesnt make them any better.

Very true. Look at Phil Jones.

Exactly, how Tomas Kuszczak, Matt Upson, Stephen Ward, Andrew Crofts and Kemy Agustien have played in the PL is beyond me.

 

[VHA on NSC]

it gets better... some Palace fans on BBS think its part of a swap deal for Buckley

Although he shares some of Buckley's traits, namely a one dimensional and limited style with little tangible end product, I can see how his PL experience makes the two incomparable in some respects.

Perhaps he caught someone's eye at BHAFC the last time the two clubs met.

I do understand how such a prospective signing would come as somewhat of a disappointment following the spectacular and unexpected capture of Obika (still not sure how you pulled that one off) and the crushing disappointment of missing out on Grabban (underestimating the 'Bournemouth factor').

All part of being 'PL ready', surely?

You missed off Kazenga Lualua and Andrea Orlandi...

 

[nwgull]

I'd rather shag a dog and have the whole world know about it than us sign that useless piece of shit.

 

[TypicalPalace]

Would be pretty funny if this was too happen. He does try hard, holds the ball up well but in front of goal is hopeless, worse than Cameron Jermoe which is saying something. All you need to do is watch the play off final and chances he missed. Having said all that, will go straight into your side

 

[SweatyMexican]

The worst panic buy! Ever.

 

[bhawoddy]

Willbraham makes Barnes look like pele......

If we buy him then I will give my season ticket back....

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I can't be arsed to read the whole thread, but I get the drift - NO NO NO, in the name of God, NO.

Think that one up all by urself or did ur fellow caravan inhabitants help out.....

 

[Seagull kimchi]

smoke and mirrors - surely....we're gonna get Chamackhattack instead!!!

 

[TypicalPalace]

I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure even you lot are not that daft to take him

 

[chaileyjem]

There's not an awful lot to this story is there ? "is rumoured to" ...
At least most of the other transfer malarkey has some basis in fact and sourced via journalist contacts inside the club (Williams, Stephens, Grabban, Conway). This, at best, looks like the croydon advertiser falling for twitter jokers.
I hope anyway )

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

If this is all Burke can come up with then he really has to go.

Utterly awful transfer window so far, that could well get a lot worse if we sell Buckley and sign this clown.

I confess that I was barely aware of the bloke prior to this thread, but contrary to your suggestion above, he is importantly different from Buckley at least in the sense that the latter has scored a fair number of goals for us (including crucial match winners) while, if Wikepedia is any guide, this Wilbrahim fellow has scored no goals for Palace, and indeed has only scored three goals for anyone at all since 2006. I'm not sure that's the kind of 'striker' we need, and he's certainly not a good swap for Buckley

How dare you, he has scored TWO goals for Palace, both in the league cup. Prolific

 

[ewe2]

Perhaps its Palace,that are trying to "sweeten " a Buckley deal,and not us wanting him .

 

[Albion_Dave]

Even Forest have turned their nose up at him.

It looks that way .Dont be too down on wilbs , he is a solid pro who as others have said will lead the line very well . I cant see it happening though but you never know .

 

[chaileyjem]

I'll also chip in with my transfer window mantra. You can't judge the window until 11pm on Friday. So thoughts like its been horrible so far or for Burke to get his finger out etc are fine but judge how well we've done when window shuts. Or more likely have a further thought in May 2014. We had a great window in Jan 2013 but you could only really tell that in May 2013 when reflecting on Upson/Ulloa's contribution in the 2nd half of the season.

And "linked to", "rumoured to " is guff , noise and nonsense. Wait til they are waving the replica shirt in an empty Amex at 10 in the evening before fretting/getting excited...
