[Albion] What exactly is 'The Crystal Palace Project'

[indy3050]

Crystal Palace have signed midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate from West Ham on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old Senegal international spent four seasons with the Hammers, making 129 Premier League appearances and scoring 12 goals.

He becomes the Eagles' second signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Vicente Guaita arrived on a free from Getafe.

"This is the right time to move because I needed a new challenge," Kouyate told Palace TV.

"I have good memories of West Ham but I need to come here and give my best because I like the Crystal Palace project."

I’ve heard a rumour that they want to alter one of their stands to look like our West Stand as a sort of bizarre tribute. Could this be the project he speaks of?

To go bust and screw local businesses again?

is it a show at the Edinburgh fringe?

I think for every home game won over the course of a season the CPFC2010 board of directors win five seconds of time in the Crystal Palace Dome.

All of the club receipts for the season are then dropped in at the top and then they have say 30 seconds to collect as many as possible, jumping around like loons, before Ed Tudor Pole/Richard O’Brien or Richard Ayoade count up their receipts and having had no formal accountancy training between them then try and come up with the club accounts.

I believe it is some sort of hovercraft.

Pay average players more than they are worth?

Is it a bit like a GCSE Economics project? Probably not, as their grasp of economics doesn't seem to have reached that level.

Perhaps it's a class project that everyone in the dressing room contributes to, and it will all go up on a notice board afterwards. I'd love to see it anyway when it's finished. Will it have pictures cut out of magazines, maybe some graphs, and a bit of creative writing? (as opposed to creative accounting).

It's like the Crystal Maze but at the end instead of using the time they've earned in the Crystal Dome the players form a new team named something slightly different and have as long as they want in there.

I think it is a plan to take a load of crystal meth and then imagine you live in a palace.
