[Palace] Palace hypocrisy

[SJ's Love Monkey]

That's exactly my point - anything can happen, both on and off the field. Yet any Albion fans on this thread claiming that we could have an advantage in recruitment in future years are dismissed as lunatics by Palace fans.

Your academy isn't even built yet mate, one step at a time

The way Palace talk about their Academy, you'd think they have been churning out players like Barcelona.

Oooh hold the front page, VICTOR MOSES is in town.

In all honesty, who knows what the varying degree of attractiveness between us and them are going to be for young players. Significant investment in our academy, coupled with a place in the Premier League could give us the advantage. However, on the flip side we might still be swilling around in the Championship in five years time.

Palace seem to think that now they've survived in the Premier League for one season that they're set to for life. It could all end in tears next season, though.

I am quite happy for Palace to have the upper hand on us for the moment. The wheel turns rapidly in football. Not long ago, Pompey fans were laughing at Southampton.

I'm not claiming it's going to start churning out and attracting amazing players as soon as the doors open! My point was that Palace fans dismissing the possibility that we might become a more attractive proposition for young players in future years are making themselves look a bit foolish IMHO.

Pride before a fall, and all that.

I can't speak for others to be fair, but things can change very quickly in football, so always best to exercise caution when spouting off I find

You mean the new £30M state of the art training ground and academy at Lancing that opens next month

A bit of a stretch. Yes, it doesn't open until next month, but the auditors have already started their assessment for whether it reaches category 1 status.

The unknown ( at the moment ) is the quality of staff employed, but to be honest, do you build one of the finest training complexes in Europe, and then staff it with fools ?

It takes a fair while to establish an academy, it isn't a quick thing, but yep in future years you may well be developing quality players out of your academy, who knows?

Sorry I don't really follow everything that happens at Brighton, so I wouldn't know when your academy opens mate.

Just to add a bit of reality into this, the Academy will not even start to produce players with a salable value for at least 5 years, possibly ten.

That's very true as I said it's not a quick process

So you haven’t heard about Albion’s thirty-million-pound training complex, which opens next month?

Yet you and your lot come on here on a daily basis waving your little ducks about.

Pot, kettle etc

Ducks ? I think Palace fans prefer a little Tug in the bath

The icon tells Palace fans it is a thread they can post in
