MPH Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Just been told that Schlupp was at Crystal Palace and was told it was time to sign on the dotted line. He then dissapered and was found kneeling down with a pen on the middle of the road outside the stadium

Guest Col city fan Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Reports on the radio (only Talk sport) that Jeff is at Palace, having a medical.

kingcarr21 Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Palace fans seem quite happy with the signing. I wish Schluup all the best. He gave us some great moments of laughter with some of his play
Old Fox Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Personally quite disappointed and despite the majority of opinions I don't think Palace are doing a bad deal here. Generally he has improved year on year here and whilst admittedly he can be frustrating as he is inconsistent he does have some real qualities with his pace and power. He was part of the squad last year and played his part in us achieving the title. He has had a number of personal challenges and has got his head turned so no choice but to move him on but I think the deal structure makes it more marginal than it appears. £12m maybe the headline but it is materially less up front and time will tell if we got a good deal. Brady and Ramirez fare not upgrades imo.
HoustonFox Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 I'll miss Jeff, for a lot of reasons (not for only buying the shirt with his name on it - but knew that would speed up the deal!). He has really become part of the furniture, which makes saying goodbye that much harder. Most of the memories, apart from the West Ham classic mentioned earlier, have been when he's come on as an impact sub and turned the impetuous around for us. Spurs, West Ham spring to mind. Also, that game when he first played left back, and was overlapping with Lloydy. Woof! How it could have been!! Ok, onwards and upwards, that old couch is off to a new owner now, and I have some dosh to go down the pub!

Nah Chilwell is better than Mattock. Mattock couldn't hack it at WBA so they binned him off to the Championship and at 26 he now plays at Rotherham. Stearman was better than Mattock and actually spent several seasons in the Premier League. . Chilwell has shown more potential than both.

VLC86 Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Fully expect Jeff to be a world beater for the first 6 months and then he will lose interest. Thanks for the memories Jeffrey.
FoxInBlue Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Do you think Palace will want to buy the thread about funny things Schlupp does? Could probably squeeze another £4mil out of them seeing as they are throwing money around at the moment.
berniethebolt Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 All the best Shlupp, he has made an impact in some big games.... also the reverse, which sums him up for me. A player who you see tearing his opposite number apart one week and then the next game you scratching your head on how this man ever became a professional footballer!

Matt Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Anyone know what Palace fans view on this are? Excited? Worried because of our opinions? Look he can be great and because he's been with us for so long I am abit sad to see him go but he's not great that often and for £12m, we're having their pants down really, that said he'll probably become amazing instantly and consistantly knowing our luck!
TJB-fox Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Great fee- PL spending is madness. Say we went and bid for Michael Keane (hypothetically) Burnley would take one look at £12m for Schlupp and tell us to give them £50m!!
Mezeker Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Great news. Hopefully we reinvest it correctly.
