Legend_in_blue Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 That decimal point is sitting in the wrong place surely?
Tielemans63 Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 I think Jeff needed to move on tbh. Best of luck to him at Palace. Still the most bizarre footballer I've ever seen. Palace fan at work asked me if he's any good my reply was 'he's either brilliant or absolutely dreadful, he doesn't do good'.
dannythefox Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Needed to move. Will get better if he plays ever week at left back. Wish him all the best.
oohaahmustafa Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Who takes up the mantel of chief comedy player now? Need to get this sorted in the window as a priority
whoareyaaa Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 probably one of the most dangerous left wingers left in the Prem on his day, sadly that day hasn't came yet. Great fee, good for Jeff as he will get game time. Thanks for the memories!
Patrick Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Brilliant news. One of the most frustrating players I've ever seen play for City.

Rileigh84 Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 at £12.5m we've robbed them blind - hats off to Rudkin/Macia/whoever negotiated the deal. At 19, you could see why someone might bid big for a player with his potential, but at 24 it seems pretty clear to me he had never really developed into the player we all thought he could, he never improved his end product and you'd bet your house on him clearing the stadium if he ever went through on goal. One of the most frustrating players to put on the shirt in the past 5-6 years, not because he didn't have the ability, but because we all knew what he needed to do and he simply didn't have the footballing brain to do what he needed. If you've got pace, run at players - he rarely did - and lets face it, he had nothing else to his game really and always looked like a rabbit in headlights when he received the ball. I hate to be so critical of one of our youth products, but he was just going to waste away here if we didn't move him on - we gave him a fair crack of the whip though.
DennisNedry Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 £12.5 seems indicative of the current market to be honest. I don't see this fee at outrageous - a few years ago it would've been.
MPH Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Quote Allardyce said: "He will bring strength and experience to the defence and will be a major asset for the club."
RowlattsFox Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Sad to see an academy graduate leave, even if it is good deal. It's all been said already but he is a capable player let down by any intelligence whatsoever. I don't think he's ever been consistently good for 45 mins, let alone a run of games. I dont one think he improves palace, does he get in ahead of Zaha and Townsend? I know zaha is away for a bit. Good luck to him, will get a clap when he returns.

Big Sam is quoted as say he'll bring strength and experience to the defence, so looks like he's playing left back, and not competing with Zaha and Townsend.
UPinCarolina Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Good bit of business. I hope that we buy a true 10, RB cover or CB cover (with this fee)
Izzy Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 I have a feeling the best may yet be to come for Jeff. He's still young and now has a point to prove. And however much I dislike Allardyce, I can see him getting a tune out of Schlupp. Could end up being a shrewd signing by Palace even though we might think we've got the best end of the deal. I wish him well and new team mates and surroundings could be the making of him and really kick start his career. Wouldn't be surprised if he came back and haunted us one day either...
Corky Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Good business for us, he was third choice in his position and it's a decent fee too which can be reinvested. Thanks for the positive memories and hope he has a good career from now on.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Good luck to the lad, often made me smile but the fact I'm not gutted sums it up for me!
Jonezy Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Bye Schlupperman! It has been entertaining and I wish you all the best!
lgfualol Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 I really dont think teams have done much scouting if they think he is a LB. He falls asleep way too often and does not know where to stand. But good for both parties that he has moved on, and hope he does alright.

Raw Dykes Posted 13 January 2017 Posted 13 January 2017 Wow! £12.5m!? For Schlupp? We've not done badly, have we? That's an astronomical fee for a seriously limited backup player, who clearly wanted to get away. More than we got for Heskey! He's got bags of pace, but very little else. I want to thank him for playing a part in probably the greatest era in the club's history, but I don't think we'll miss him. Is this the best sale we've ever made? Because I really think it will be hard to beat. Ever.
