Argie Keeper Heading Our Way?


Speroni sounds like something you might donate in a fertility clinic, but apparently he is a keeper with Palace and may be heading across town over the summer; unless he opts to move to Miserableboro instead. And why would anybody in his right mind move up there?

Is he any good? I have no idea! Traditionally South Americans aren't that great between the sticks but he may be an exception. At least he isn't Scottish! Of course, his imminent arrival suggests Green will be departing.

Don't want him.

You must remember this guy HF?! He was Palace's keeper when they were last in the premiership. Had long hair back then. He was dropped after making silly mistakes for Gabor Kiraly. You must remember Kiraly, he had a habit of playing in grey bottoms rather than shorts (& did spend time on loan at us couple of years later). Speroni is "camera-ish" and prone to blunders. Likes to punch for no reason and sometimes thinks he's an outfield player. Typical south American keeper I'd say. I am astonished we're in for him. The ONLY reason I remember this guy is because he was a joke.

If this is the sign of our ambition under G&S, then I'm not sure how much I'm going to enjoy this ride. I'm feeling nauseous already.

Why the hell did we let Foster go to Birmingham for £6m without bidding?

I remember Kiraly and his baggy track suit bottoms but not Speroni. If he lost his place to Kiraly, he must be shite though!

It just shows the commitment of quality we intend to sign this summer with a crap South American keeper that nearly ended up in div 1 playing against the likes of the O's & daggers!!

I wonder how much truth is in that Grant wants to bring James over?

I guess G&S want to strip the assets like Green, Upson (good move), Cole so help fund for there takeover.

I'd like to see Green and Cole stay but defo get good money for Upson.

He is a decent keeper. He has been awarded there player of the season for 3 years now (which is a club record), and to beat Ambrose to it this year (who scored 20goals from midfield), shows that he has obviously played well. You ask any palace fans, and see how highly they rate him. Would be a decent addition if can get him for the rumoured fee (500k-1million). DUTCHAMMER

Ha ha, yeah thing Benni has been tucking into plenty mayonnaise covered frites!!! How come you dont make this site a proper forum like the org!!(at least you couldnt get banned from it lol) Do you still post on there under one of your many names. Interesting times at West Ham this summer, it will be interesting to see what happens, anything must be better than putting up with curbs dire football and Zolas clueless tactics!! DUTCHAMMER

I don't know how to Dutch! Saw you looked in on the Org the other day. It's still very bland compared to the good old days sadly. Even Del seems to have gone on a summer break and he underpins the whole edifice. Now it is just Grumpy King and a sprinkling of semi literate posters.
