Don't forget Beaky persuading him to sign that 5 year contract by fibbing about letting him go.If you're talking about the moronic "we're all having a party..." song, then I'd like to think most of us are (thankfully) in the same boat.
Palace basically made sure he never ascended to the heights he might have been capable of, by refusing to entertain bids for him when he was at his peak, resulting in him spending the bulk of his career wasting away in a largely mediocre team.
I daresay the Β£125,000 per week he was paid for much of his Palace career helps, and he could never be classed as one of life's failures, but surely he's got to be wondering what might have been.
Hell no.Canβt we sign him? For a laugh.
I'm not so sure. His histrionics were embarrassing.The ultimate panto villain, lets be honest if he'd been ours we'd would have loved him.
Its all history now from an era when Palace for a short period were a bit better than us, today they stagnate season after season
I believe The Arse put in a bid but insisted on instalments but given the sell on, Palace would have been out of pocket initially as well as being a world class player down.He was "forced" by virtue of the fact that, despite what Palace fans would have you believe about all the top clubs on earth sniffing around, the only genuine offer they ever received for him was from....Everton
There are times when even Selhurst Park looks like the best option.
He should never have signed that 5 year contract. I suspect it still haunts him. The tit.
