Lua Lua has got to be up there at times as well.

If you are going to include Bruno then surely Bridge needs to be included as well?

I love that what must be roughly our 5th best player is WELL out of their price range.

Vicente is worth almost nothing to you, you would struggle to sell him. Same with Bruno. Bridcutt is worth less than Buckley because he is a defensive midfielder.

Buckley is probably your most valuable player, and we could afford him if we desperately wanted him. We don't.

Our most valuable player? You couldn't buy one of his boots.

Even Man City couldn't buy one of Zaha's boots.

A) surely "the strongest evidence" would be quoted direct from Dougie saying you can't afford to be looking in the realms over £1m+ for players.

B ) You said Zaha's playing upfront this season.

Also, how come Sordell went to the Olympics and Zaha didn't? Could it be he's not quite as good as you lot like to fantasise he is?

Dougie lies about everything to the press. If he says a deal is off, it's on. The best evidence would be CPFC2010 stating numerous times that there is a lot of money to spend.

Zaha will be more central this season, but he will be playing behind the striker according to Dougie.

Sordell went to the Olympics because he plays for a Premiership team. Like every other player in the Olympic squad. He is a far worse player, and Bolton only bought him once it became clear they couldn't afford Zaha.

He played 45 mins for a team that have now been relegated? Try again, son.

Also; Buckland at Birmingham? Jason Steele at Middlesborough?

Fine. He PLAYED for a Premiership team. The fact still remains that they only bought Sordell when it became clear they couldn't afford Wilfried.

Couldn't afford him because of his worth, or his value? Completely different things.

You are the most deluded palace fan to post on here and that is an achievement in itself. Having said that, you are cracking value :thumbsup:

Sorry but your comment re: Bruno is f***ing retarded. He's a QUALITY La Liga player aged 30. That's worth a lot.

Our chairman just spent about £120m over the last year or so. I'm sure we could afford the (overvalued) £4-5m required for Wilfried.

How on earth can you say Vicente is worth nothing to us? He could be the difference between being in the play-offs and not. Worth is not only about money.

You say you have all this money to spend, but I can garuntee you if it stays in the bank, then it won't have any possitive effect on the pitch. Vicente on the other hand will. Therefore at the moment Vicente is worth a lot more than your millions in the bank.

I gather there's not a team in the world that can afford your most valuable player, he is astonishing in his amazingness.How lucky you are that single handed he will propel you to the Premier League.

I can see that you don't need players like Buckley, how lucky for us :rolleyes:

That's saying something. Silurian and whatever hits alter ego was (can't remember) and Glenn Murray are pretty stiff competition. I have to say I'm missing Murray's updates from the people's republic.

Them finishing 17th and playing shit, boring, negative football all season must be one of the most BIZARRE occurences in football history. It has to be documented in a film or something.

How was it possible when they have SO MANY "fantastic" Championship players? Truly the mind boggles.

Both, I'd imagine.

Ha, you wish - Value i probably 3m, if that - his worth to you is double. That's where the problem lies. Though, if i wanted a diver, i'd look towards the GB team and not a hovel in Croydon.
