When I saw caulker play last season I thought he looked very decent....those saying he got relegated, well yes. Cardiff did but he was probably their best outfield player by far. 8m is probably the going rate for a young decent English centre back with experience. We're not going to find to many Scott dann type deals, we got very lucky there...if we want to push on these are the type of players we need to be signing...we don't need squad players, we've got enough of them...we need 3/4 players to instantly improve the starting 11.

Its obviously about the money, it certainly isn't for footballing reasons. Compare the two sides, if he wants to improve as a player, look at our record when Pulis arrived, worked wonders with our defence and shored it right up, Palace are no longer a step down to sign for after our season last time, QPR are a gamble and if he chooses them over us, let him go, Pulis will have another option surely.

Let's be honest here...qpr are a bigger draw than us. New stadium coming, owners who will spend decent money on signings & wages. If we're being completely honest they have as much chance of staying up this season as we do. I love palace to bits but sometimes we have to take off the tinted specs, and look at things with a rational POV

Don't agree with you Brauny. We're finally looking to fulfil our massive potential. They on the other hand are just punching above their weight. Edited by Brentmiester_General (19 Jul 2014 12.28pm)

Edited by Brentmiester_General (19 Jul 2014 12.28pm) Recent history would suggest otherwise tho Brent...whether or not it is built on wealth is irellivent really. We are doing things the correct way...but there's that old adage that nice guys finish last. I don't want us to to go down the qpr route but they will attract players over us because of it,

PSG were banned from signing players and 2 days later bought Luiz. The whole thing is completely pointless.
No place for ethics and morales in football, you either get with the dark arts or fail.
Chelsea were banned by FIFA on 3rd Sept 2009 over the Kakuta signing, they appealed that decision to CAS (Court of Arbitration in Sport) which was their right, on 5th Feb 2010, only 5 months later they were cleared by CAS because French club Lens had failed to sign the player on contract, Chelsea paid Lens ±£800,000 they could have paid much less than they gave Lens, but Lens failure to provide the necessary contract meant they were entitled to only a nominal compensation payment as the player was only 15.

But what does any footballer care about a club having £80 million debt? As long as the club pays him what he wants. I love the way we do things and the way our club is run, but it also means we will lose out in signing certain players - but at least we will always know that when players do arrive, it's because they want to play for Palace and not for x amount of money. That sits much better with me than some greedy over rated Premiership player arriving to just count the cash.
