Think Palace also paid a million for Shipperley at some stage. Might have been another club, not 100% sure.

I have said it before and think we should try and hang on Barnes, does it not tell you something about highly rated a player we have here when we have not one but two promotion chasing teams after the young lad. We will rue the day we sold him for peanuts and a million these days is just that compared to the wealth a promotion is regardless if we keep him once or if we got up.

I would totally agree but for the fact that he is stalling on a new deal here and can leave for nowt in 6 months... forces our hand a bit.

Totally agree, plus
Selling to promotion chasing rivals ? Remember Glenn Murray anyone ?

If we get Mason from Cardiff as a replacement I will be pleased. Somethng different to what we have.

1 million for Mason & Conway, be a good deal?

I get that Rock'a'billy Gripper Stebson, however I think that if he helped us get promotion that would be a small price to pay for the wealth the Premiership will bring the club. A gamble yes, but the odds are in our favour I feel.
However if we have someone else lined up behind the scenes then sell him, these are the only realistic scenario's for a team chasing promotion.
We didn't sell Glenn Murray to CPFC. He was a free agent. We released him. And if I recall, they weren't a promotion chasing outfit the season before. They were the unexpected (Burnley-esque) package last season.

But the season after he left us that lot only finished 17th (or 18th, my memory fails me). It was only last season he started scoring for fun and most of them were after Wilf fell over in the box.

Often overlooked . He scored a mere 7 league goals in 2011/12 after the transfer. Less than Ashley Barnes and CMS. Palace fans weren't entirely sold on the bloke that season. He's not played at all this season of course, not due back for a while and it will be interesting how he performs without Zaha on top form which he was for most of 12/13.

They're planning a merger with the Spanish Dave Is Rubbish brigade.

probably
there will be a big Ashley Barnes hole left in their lives(if they have a life that is) so someone will be in line for it

they might find somewhere along the line they have half a brain cell between them
