Its Wilbs. Cpfc2010 never said we were going to have a "marquee" signing. Its a myth.

You're right there, what a good laugh ! Always gave 100%, but not good enough.

And we are going to replace him with an unfunny more expensive striker who is not good enough.
I see Cpfc2010 are taking lessons in the Simon Jordan way.

Buckley 16 league games for Club 13 as sub 8 goals.

Like FFs Murray
Quite.
Might want to read this lads, we'll only sign the right player with the right attitude for the right price. Not some no mark from Norwich looking for one last pay day.

Are you honestly going to be confident going into next season with these striking options?
Glenn Murray - 2011/12 - 38 apps - 6 goals
Jermaine Easter - 2011/12 - 33 apps - 5 goals
Sean Scannell - 2011/12 - 37 apps - 4 goals
Aaron Wilbraham - 2011/12 - 11 apps - 1 goal
You get what you pay for, I suppose.
With Murray, Easter and Scannell (who is actually a winger) last season we finished in midtable. I would not be confident about finishing above midtable with those strikers alone.
Thankfully, we're not going into next season with those players, as you well know. You failed to include Wilfried Zaha, who scored 8 goals and got 5 assists from the wing, and Darren Ambrose who get 10 goals and 9 assists from the other wing. Wilfried I'm sure will score more goals next season as he is going to be played as a striker according to Dougie - he has played there 4 times so far and scored in every game.
Of course unlike Brighton, Palace aren't content with simply keeping what we've got, we want to improve. Which is why we've signed Wilbraham as cover for Murray as he will be on low wages, and it's why we're currently trying to sign Sam Baldock from West Ham.
----Murray------Zaha----
Ambrose--Baldock--Williams
A front five that would be more than capable of achieving a finish in and around the playoffs, I'm sure you'll agree

£7k? Sorry to burst your imaginary Palace bubble, but that's just untrue. Clyne was offered more than £7k per week to re-sign, and Ambrose currently earns more than that.
You think CMS would have signed for you for LESS than £7k? You think Joel Ward would have chosen us over Ipswich and Leeds for less than £7k? I really wish we were able to be so attractive to players while not competing financially, but we just aren't. As it stands, we are able to sign players despite offering slightly less money than our competitors - but £7k is taking the piss.
