A bit of a controversial statement I know but (loan signings apart) who have we signed that stands out better than him?
Yes ok we got the likes of Holden and Mavies but matches played divided by the high watering wages they got during the years they were actually here meant (in my opinion at least) that they simply were not worth the money they actually cost us.
Elmander our club record signing flattered to deceive, cost us a fortune and left for free!
Muamba wasn't even a regular in the team before his near death experience at Spurs.
Cahill could be in with a shout but the peanuts we actually sold him for does seem to sully him (although that really isn't his fault).
Holden came through the academy and so we didn't sign him from someone else (which is sort of the point I'm trying to make), so he doesn't count.
Eagles was ok until he got the strops and never really played football anywhere else since then.
Was Tim Ream better than Beevers?
Even Lee who we saw on Saturday was never the same player from that pre-season injury from about three or four years ago - he certainly can't get into a poor Palace team this since his transfer two seasons ago.
So who else is there that the combined geniuses of Lee (Daniel Braaten), Megson (Zat Knight), Coyle (David Ngog and Marvin Sordell), Freeman (Dorian Dervite) and Lennon (Emile Heskey)brought in?
Can you name anybody?
Surely there must have be a decent signing in the last ten years?
