Pity,I think he would have fitted in well with us.
Looks like another none-transfer window.

 


Touch my coffee and I will slap you so hard even Google won't be able to find you.

I don’t think they are competing with us. We would need to be trying to sign someone for them to be competing with us.

We seem to be taking the passive aggressive approach to transfers this season.

Did we ever want him?
Was it just paper talk?
If we did then there will be many reasons why we didn't get him - first and foremost - money!
Fulham are owned by one man - a multi billionaire - sadly we cannot compete so that's life!

Josh Harris and David Blitzer are both billionaires but it's Steve Parish that holds Palace back in terms of investment as he's reputedly only worth £45m which isn't great in terms of Premier League ownership terms

Yes - but they are not investing all of their wealth - just a small part of it.
Fulham's man can spend whatever her wants depending on how he feels when he wakes up in the morning and that's a big difference.
He wants to stay up whichever way he can and he will spend what it takes.
We should also remember the value of our own squad which is pretty high by comparison to the newcomers

on paper maybe it's worth a lot (Zaha notwithsanding).

Who would pay good money on Schlupp, Ward, Hennessey, Benteke?

he'll probably score against us

it's ok, we have soft-side-pass Schlupp, we don't need another winger/forward.

Signed for Fulham on a two year loan deal , why was it so difficult for parish & co to bring him in on a simlair deal or is he really into playing for Fulham that much ?

Gone to Fulham on loan while we continue to do nothing. Schurlle on loan would have given wider attacking options. How long will board handcuff Hodgson when he could really develop team. Frustrating for all Palace fans.

 

Flash Flag Lampeter 26 Jul 18 12.18am

I read it was a loan deal.
If a loan deal, then only the loan fee is the upfront outlay. Don't think that would have been astronomical. So we must surely have been able to compete with Fulham. Given the loss of Cabaye's wages, can't see why we couldn't have met Schurrle's salary.
Lost opportunity.

 

Aray Flag South London 26 Jul 18 6.13am

Who knows what Fulham are paying. They probably blew our bid out of the water and they can afford to do that, no doubt, given their sugar daddy and FFP rules.

I would rather the club invest in players that it can develop if possible and I’m not sure a loan fee does that.

With a filthy rich owner who wants to buy Wembley with petty cash!

Anounced retirement today at just 29 aftwr a season in mediocre team Spartak Moscow.

I would have taken him on a free. Still had pace and played well fpr Fulham, it wasn't his fault that they went down. Guy scored 6 from winger position in that season. And his capabilities are much greater.

Better than many wingers in the PL. I think no one in Emgland offered him a contract and he just wouldn't take the Bundesliga average salary anymore. Kind of like that Pablo Osvaldo fellow who retired to become a rock star a few years back.

Always liked him as a player but presumably no PL club felt he was worth the salary he was demanding. Didn’t Osvaldo hit a team mate at Southampton?

Osvaldo was suspended by Southampton a few years ago for a fracas with Jose Fonte at the training ground.
Osvaldo gained a reputation for falling out with teammates.

 

mattteo Flag 18 Jul 20 9.13am

Yeah, Osvaldo wasn't that good.

But Schurrle had no extra weight put on,meaning he could still run like a deer

His goalscoring record and assists for the national team, Leverkusen, Chelsea, Wolfsburg and even Borussia Dortmund speaks for itself.

I recall Schurrle as a player who had the ability to make high intensity runs time and time again.
A player with searing pace who liked to shoot a lot.
A Mourinho signing at Chelsea.
Later Jokanovic signed him for Fulham on loan.

Yes, and he played ok for Fulham. Fulham's worries were defensive rather than offensive last year. But Schurrle is a player who also does his own part defensively.

If a player like Schurrle retires after a mediocre season in Russia (in which he still scored and assisted 6) and one good individual season with Fulham, but bad because of club relegation, then what should players like Meyer, Benteke or others do after years of not playing well??

If Schurrle was given Meyer's salary (or even much less, as Meyer is rumored to be at over 100.000 a week) I'm sure he could do more in the PL and he wouldn't retire this summer. This is just a wishful thinking point I'm making, but someone at the club should be in charge of those things.

I think Meyer is on £80k a week, the roomies of over £100k are not true. Probably similar to what Schurrle earned at Fulham. Could do a job but the longer he is out of the game, the more difficult it will be to get to required fitness levels, although with the German mentality could well acheive it!
