[Palace] Palace just signed some geezer for six million....

[we-8-brighton]

What a signing some **** from Peterborough

I know CMS was that bad.

 

[mystery_man]

Better than CMS though so eh?

 

[COYP]

You hope

Being that we've just been outbid by Swansea for JonJo Shelvey for £6m I'd say its pretty definite.

Quality signing if you're looking for an average striker who's not worth the shirt he wears

Palace have bought him with next season in mind , he will be a very decent striker in The Championship.

At 6 million quid he'd better be or I can see your spotty 12 year old Ultras getting a bit feisty with him.

My word a second thread about the same (not yet) Palace player?
The 6.5m was a load of crap pulled out the Sun's arse as usual. Its more likely to be around 2.75m with a 1.25m add on if we stay up, he scores x amount of goals, gets an international appearance yadda yadda yadda. As it is he was expected to be announced on Monday and its now Wedneday so could be just as likely Darragh McAnthony playing silly buggers again like he did with Boyd.

Desperation signign already, can't attract anyone there so far only Dobbie for half a million so they needed to land someone. Need another 2 strikers and quick. Going to be funny watch next season.

 

[Marshy]

so what is the initial fee ?

If you listen to palace fans its no more than 3 million initially, but all the press are reporting way way more !

Did we pay 6 Million for CMS? Blimey Gus going on about our small budget makes him seem even more mad, then I thought he was.

It is 3mill.
First people to propose it was 6mill was the Sun (that utter bastion of truth!). They seem to have done so by taking the following Steve Browett post on the BBS out of context.

were day 3 into the window being open so "desperation signing" seems a bit of a pathetic statement to make.

You didn't get it. Go back, read the quote and my reply, then come back to me.

Why did you eat Brighton?

 

[we-8-brighton]

Why did you eat Brighton?

With chilli sauce, twas quite an experience but played on my guts.

 

[Footsoldier]

So Palace fans on here are saying all the other newspapers apart from the Guardian are clueless. You couldn't make it up.

Don't believe everything you read. As I have heard the fee could rise to around £5m but that does rely on some unlikley clauses being triggered.

lol at Palace fans coming out with this after two years of telling us we paid £3.5m for Mackail-Smith and pretending he's on £20k a week etc.

You mean after you claimed we were paying 16k a week to Murray?
