[Albion] Meyer to sign for Palace

[ThePaddy]

Anyone commenting on Meyer's attitude could develop an understanding of how the Schalke media machine works: http://sportwitness.co.uk/max-meyer-crystal-palace-backed-germany-transfer-mocked/

Might he become Palace's Rodwell...?

Rodwell isn't fit to lace this guy's boots.

 

[Nixonator]

Talented player but a risky one.

Anything that comes out of Schalke is usually bullshit so I wouldn't read too much into his 'attitude'.

 

[Marshy]

He's a defensive midfielder, mate. Goals are always a bonus but he was playing in a Pirlo-like role last season, and had some excellent performances.



Completely fictional and only the Mail ffsparr are reporting it. Everyone else is saying 80k/w.

He turned down that elsewhere I thought as it wasn't enough.. it will be around 100k I would have thought.
Wonder what his signing on is...

Palace fans are now all experts on a player most of them had never heard of a couple of days ago.

Rodwell an extremely talented player. Linked with everyone but ends up at Sunderland as those that know steer clear. He could have been brilliant & consolidated them in the Premier league.

As it happens he doesn’t play in their Championship relegation team . Was he injured? Couldn’t be bothered? They can get rid of him.

Good luck

 

[Triggaaar]

Looks like a good signing to me.

I’ve heard lots about this kids attitude. Apparently a complete trouble maker and poison in he dressing room. The Bromley chairman told my mate this. Said he’d fit in well at the franchise as team spirit is at an all time low. Benteke gets it ripped out of him in training as his wages per goal last season were millions of £s! Apparently Cabaye ditched palace to move to a bigger club abroad because he’s never seen a dressing room like it. Throw in to this their star player is gutted they won’t let him move again, like he tried last year and it’s a pretty messy place. My mate who knows this insider said Meyer would be a disaster!

Oh, goody!!

I cant believe he is being paid 170k a week, that's just made up surely, I think 100k a week is nearer the mark, its still a staggering amount of money though.

Nobody knows the exact figures, but it isn't 'complete fiction' and the Mail are NOT reporting that he is getting £170k in WAGES, are they? They just used that figure as clickbait.

What they've claimed, and is entirely plausible, is that the TOTAL cost to Palace of his wages (they won't be below the £120k you pay Benteke, or that you offered Zaha) plus his signing on fee, and agent's fees, comes to £35m, which spread across the 4 year contract, equates to £170k per week cost to your club. None of that is very difficult to understand, tbh.

80K a week.

 

[Southern Scouse]

His salary’s rising all the time .

No palace person, about £195k per week. I really cannot stand you lot but deals like you will put us where we were in the dark days, thing is you wouldn’t survive.....

To be fair the Bromley chairman has filled us in about him.

In all seriousness I had certainly heard of him. Knew he was meant to be a hot prospect a few years ago and that's about it.

As much as it pains me - anyone with a vague knowledge of the Bundesliga should have heard of Max Meyer. He is a very good player.

 

[The Tactician]

Some quotes from Schalke fans:

“Can't quite remember the last time I said a 22-year-old player peaked at 17. He's impressed the last few weeks, but honestly can't remember the last time he made me stand up on my feet like he did back when Draxler, Farfan and Huntelaar were terrorizing defences.”
A downgrade? Deserved or not? Tell me. “deserved. Played mediocre or bad. Surprised he isn't 78 tbh^^”
“Schalke wont miss you. This guy thinks he deserves better than schalke and is switching clubs, probably downgrading or not getting into one at all. Seriously this guy would still suck if not for Tedesco.”

This one is my favourite:

Crystal Palace are in talks to sign German free agent Max Meyer.
“Haha his agent said, he is a worlclass player and can play for every topclub in europe.
*signs for palace*
Hilarious.”

Agreed he did play a more defensive role last season, but he was always considered an attacking midfielder.

 

[schmunk]

Haha his agent

That explains the move to Palace...

 

[El Presidente]

Might he become Palace's Rodwell...?

AKA Tomas Brolin

 

[loz]

AKA Tomas Brolin

TBF Tomas Brolin was 38 years old and a 38 waist and was payed by the game, but other than that, yes just like him.

 

[spence]

24 appearances last season. NO GOALS AND NO ASSISTS

Aaaah Boris, the big dog that started a thread on Wilf that has generated over 100 pages in under 2 weeks and then removed me for laughing at it. Very sensitive!

Now moving on to pass judgement on us signing a top player.

Look at any Palace forum and see if we have a single thread about any of your players or signings, other than Murray.

The inferiority complex that you lot have is remarkable.

This is by a long long way the most bitter thing I've ever read on the internet. Honestly thank you!
