I tell you what. You bounce this thread, through the season, every time a reporter in a national paper* gives Jedinak a rating of 7 or more. I won't hold my breath.

Does upson not count as a signing for some reason?
As for bridge and Hammond, they were LOAN players so returned as per terms of the loan.
Similarly Spanish Dave's 1 year contract ended and he dragged his feet signing the offer on the table so it was withdrawn
Jon Jo Shelvey
Your strikeforce consists of a 22yr old with a season in the championship and Dobbie who Swansea didn't rate at prem level. But funniest of all is Jefinak in the premier league
4 reds minimum for him next season.willyfantastic

this coming from the team who spent 8MILLION on Dwight Gayle - Atletico Madrid got DAVID VILLA for less than that
We get excited at the prospect of 'flair' football, whereas you lot still think of Spain as being 'exotic'.......................which when compared to Croydon it is, even with 57% youth unemployment.

Very much the sum of it.
Personally I'd be quite pleased if we'd signed a young exciting Spaniard. Would I seek out other team's message boards to talk about it?
Nope. It may not be all that, but I have some kind of life.
You keep on thinking we paid 8m if it makes you feel better
£8m?
Do you believe everything you read on Talk Sport and Football Rumours?
Admit it, you would be delighted with Jerome Thomas, Dwight Gayle and Spain's U20 captain. Very astute business so far IMO.
As for Jedinak, it'll be incredibly interesting to see how well he gets on this season. He may not have stood out in the two games at the Amex but he dominated midfields on his own last year. With someone like Campana or Williams alongside him I think he'll do fine at a higher level.
He's no Adam Chicksen though, I'll give you that.

your comment is hilarious - our money is here - just because we are making a loss, it doesnt mean we are broke........we are introducing cost measures to stay within FFP guidelines - hilarious that a fan of a club like Palace would mock us for that, sorry we are trying to run our club responsibly and not to cheat the system then **** over our creditors like somebody else we know....
David Lopez wanted to come back but we don't want him, which means most likely we have somebody better lined up. vicente barely played so it wasnt the biggest loss in the world, bridge was the big one to go, but we cant compete against a prem team + wages in keeping him (unless it was you) + hammond was only on Loan
well done on bidding 5m on a player like jon jo shelvey - you're putting big, desperate bids in for mediocre players

why would we be delighted with Jerome Thomas and Dwight Gayle? like i just said - DESPERATE signings because you cant sign anything better. those are signings i'd expect BLACKBURN to make
im sorry if it wasnt the 8m reported (they wouldnt report that much if it wasnt reasonably close, though). even it was over 1m it was too much

Palaces signings have been laughably inadequate so far to have any hope of surviving in the Premiership, seems like preparations for life back in the Championship are well under way. If one bonus of them getting a cash windfall is not having to stand in 3 inches of piss in a derelict cesspit of a stadium then I'm all for it, sadly the stadium itself will still be in a derelict cesspit part of Croydon.

Palace have lost over half their league goalscorers in Murray & Zahaha - and that was in a league where they only managed to scrap into the Play - offs in the last game of the season.
Their signings (so far) have been laughable. I could understand it if they were pumping money into their infrastructure however the only thing they are considering pumping is the flooded Holmesdale Stand. It's like giving money to Steptoe & Son

Yes but how much are Villa's wages?
Has TheMajor pointed out that your season ticket sales aren't very good? I lose track.

If there is one thing you don't do , that's lose track.

Maybe he thought he was going to Buckingham PALACE......he will soon be down the A23 to see his spanish mates.
Ooh Brighton have sacked a manager.." Ummmm...
Dunno. But I expect we'll get a few points off them this season.

Obviously it's a good signing.
