You might have to start this all over again, as Clyne seems to have left, and there is a chance that Gardener might not be there next season. So half your defence has disapeared.
At least none were arrested

We replace young players with other young players, and you're linked with 35 year old "legends"
I will give you that, The Academy system at Palace is working very well. When do you find out about tier1 status?
As said before, our youth system has served us pretty well despite having no real backing in recent years.
Virgo - £1.5m to Celtic
Harding - Leeds and Saints
Hammond - Saints captain
Lynch - in Wales squad
El-Abd - over 250 appearances for us and now an Egypt International
Dunk - wanted by Prem teams
JFC - England U18
Hall - wanted by Spurs
Not too bad when you think about it and compare it to Palace's products from their set up. Just imagine how good we'll be when we actually have an academy.
.. and Gareth Barry isn't too shabby.
I love Palace's optimism.
1. Finish 17th playing utterly shit football.
2. Sell best players, bring in worse ones to replace.
3. Success.
7mil for Zaha? Zahahahahhahahahhahah.
WTF?
What on earth makes you think we're bringing in worse players? We've got a £5m transfer budget before any profit from player sales.
Oh my f***ing christ
Yeah, also we're buying France, bringing it over and making it into a massive training facility.

Steve Parish confirmed it at this years fans forum. £10m over two years in transfers.
The £5M is from player sales £3M for Winifred and £2M (tribunal) for Clyne. With FFP coming in it is likely that £5M will be the total allowed for players wages based on income streams at Smellhurst.

Not quite sure why you're shocked - as a club Palace have always had a lot more money than you apart from the last two or three years. Then again we've always been a lot more successful too.
I highly doubt that Palace have £5 million to spend after posting losses of over £5 million last year. But fair enough, believe what you want.
great to have someone on here who sits in the boardroom with the owners and manager
.....................but with all that inside knowledge don't you think you should lend your wisdom to your own fans ratrher than bother us with it
