They really are sleazy, crap horrible outfit, first they nicked Kenny. S, then they got Wrighty, know they want to pick up Zaha for a song! I hate them with a passion, so pleased they dipped out on top four, how can Wilf come out with the cobblers he has always wanted to play for them, they aren't fit to own his sweat bands!!!!

it's not them anymore because it doesn't look like they have the money to buy success anymore - they can only afford £8m a year for 5 years to buy Zaha who is worth £80m. Embarrassing. Spurs just splashed £50m on an unproven French kid.

Didn't they try to unsettle Geoff Thomas before the start of the season just before we were due to play them?

Fading team whose fan base now mostly comprises of late-90's and early 2000's gloryhunters and/or tourists who have been left disillusioned and fail to create any atmosphere of note. I hate to stereotype or dare speak against Wilf, but he would probably fall into that bracket too by the sounds of things.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

They had just been promoted to the PL and we were due to face them in the opening game of the '92 season. They had seemed very keen to sign GT, but after the match Palace received a call from the Blackburn chairman who said they were no longer interested.

I think their main issue is the salaries to their existing players, especially Ozil and Mkhitaryan. It's left them a bit stuck on cash. Man U have the same issue (ironically with ex-Arsenal Sanchez), but have a bigger fan base. I do, however, like how Man U are buying young home-grown talent and looking to the future. They may have another year or two of struggles, but it'll pay off down the road. Unlike Arsenal. Take a look at their 25 (toward the bottom) [Link] 4 British (and they just lost the only Welsh). And none of them are usually in the first 11. Plus how many of them came through Arsenal's academy? No starters and maybe two of the 25? So they've had to buy all the rest.
