Non-story because there is nothing to see. They've made a bid, it was rejected. Story? Not really, at least not for me.
Nonsense rumor in that, if they ever thought this was going to be succesful, they must have been high. Very very high, therfore the whole affair is a nonsense. I'll grant you that rumor was the wrong word to use though.
Regardless of quibling over details, I still think the whole thing is clearly an attempt to wind people up.

What nonsense,, of course it's a story. The Argus have confirmed. May well run all day as Palace, and/or other clubs, may well come back in for Bridcutt and some of our other players.

I think the bridcutt one is very genuine and we might come back with a better offer . The ulloa one is probably one to hurry up bendtner to sign ( not 100% on him btw ) when I think he will . So not a wind up as such but if it has wound some up
Didn't holloway say a week or two ago that palace were going to adopt a scattergun approach, throwing out as many offers as they can hoping some of them come off? I imagine a high percentage of their bids are not perhaps as serious as those from a team more incisive with their tactics.

Oh do fu*k off, its all a wind up. No chance would we sell to the shower of sh*t up the road, even if they wanted to go there.
Even though TB is an Albion fan, I don't think he would care who we sold a player to if the deal suited BHA.
Incorrect.

You are being taken in by your club if you actually think they have any serious expectation of getting either player. They don't. It's just a stunt designed to score cheap points with those Palace supporters who are disappointed with the lack of decent signings this summer. If you really can't see that, then you're less intelligent than I gave you credit for (ha!).
If they'd been serious, the bids wouldn't have leaked out. They wouldn't have wanted to jeopardise any negotiations. The reason it's come out is because they wish their fans to know about it. They know (for example) that £1.75m for Bridcutt is laughable, and are well aware that it wouldn't be accepted, but they can go back and say "well, we made an effort, it's not our fault if they won't take it, you can't accuse us of not trying". This of course has the added advantage of making your supporters believe that you're seriously pissing us off (which you're not, at least not amongst those of us with brains, because we can see this for that it really is) and leading you in turn to forget how many other players have turned you down this summer because you're so pleased at *possibly* annoying us.
You're a fool if you think otherwise. Meanwhile....tick tock!
To be honest I think he would unless we was ripping palace off. He will do what is best for the club but I very much doubt he would sell players that would alienate most of the fans.

The Palace boardroom, yesterday.
Parish: "Arse. Nobody good wants to sign for us, yet again. The fans are getting restless. People are saying we have no ambition despite all our masses of Premier League cash. What am I going to do to save my reputation as the People's Chairman?"
Minion #1: "Why not pretend to make a bid for Brighton's best players, which we know has no chance of succeeding: our dimwitted supporters won't know that and will simply be so thrilled at the prospect of getting one over on them again, they won't even notice that all the players we actually want to sign keep rejecting us?"
Parish: "It's brilliant and it might just work. Suckers! Mwahahahahaha".

Why has this thread run to so many pages? £1.75m for Bridders? Oh behave.
Just like Barnsley offering £100k for Greer the other summer, some bids just don't want any discussion.

Bridcutt will be coming I should think I am sure Glenn is telling him how great is is.
Not to fussed about Ulloa although it would be great to sign "Glad Ulloa" if he ever scores.

Hmmmm, if he ever scores. Pretty sure he has a better strike rate than all your strikers put together at present.

Maybe he really did mean "sign"- could be deaf?
