Aj signs new deal

All the speculation about him moving away from palace and this morning he signs a new lucrative five year deal he must be hoping they will come back up but he must be mad five years.

Yeah great news for Palace fans, they'll definately be one of the favourites, if not the favourites to win promotion/league now.

RVN10 · 02-08-2005 9:45am

ya thats true he has a lot of potential

StickyMcGinty · 02-08-2005 10:14am

bye bye international career

Chong · 02-08-2005 10:14am

He's a fool no way should he have agreed a contract, for man who played so well last not to get the opportunity to play in EPL for bigger club is ridiculous. I for one think Dowie should have realised that and more to the point he probably has. The crux of it is flamin Simon Jordan .

I am sure AJ and his agent were wise enough to put plenty of clauses in his new contract. I bet if (

) he continues in his rich vain of form that he won't last more then 1 season with Palace.

RVN10 · 02-08-2005 10:41am

you have to think will he be goin to the world cup now

Chong · 02-08-2005 10:41am

I should hope because its a shame if he dosent.

Necronomicon · 02-08-2005 10:42am

I dunno about that. I'd say Sven is very reluctant to pick anyone outside the topflight. I'd say Crouch has a better chance, even if he spends more time on the bench.

RVN10 · 02-08-2005 10:43am

he prob wont now and it will be a shame

Drag00n79 · 02-08-2005 10:44am

I'm very surprised at this. Makes no sense from the player's point of view. I have no doubt he will rack up lots of goals this season there but his international career is gone IMHO.

I definately wouldn't say 'gone'. Maybe his immediate future, ie, World Cup, but if Palace get back to the Premiership next season and he repeats his form of last season then I think he'd definately be back in contention. Especially if Palace become an established Prem side.

Drag00n79 · 02-08-2005 10:53am

Sorry, I meant gone in the sense of the World Cup.

RVN10 · 02-08-2005 10:55am

Ya but now peter crouch is round so he will be taking his place

mr_angry · 02-08-2005 10:58am

So much for loyalty to your club. :rolleyes: Yet another player turns his back on the idolising fans in favour of personal riches and glory.

No...

Er...

Wait. What the hell is going on?

RVN10 · 02-08-2005 10:59am

Aj signed a new deal read the thread

~Rebel~ · 02-08-2005 11:19am

... i think he was making a joke...

mr_angry · 02-08-2005 11:23am

*cough*

Not obvious enough?

I was just wondering why so many people are saying what a 'huge mistake' it was for him to sign a new deal when most people also go around complaining that players have no loyalty to their club anymore. If Andy Johnson is happy at Palace, and he's banging in the goals every week, why shouldn't he stay?

ianomccabe · 02-08-2005 11:26am

I think it's great to see someone stay at a club because they obviously love the club.

Most players would have jumped ship to play in the prem (a la Alan Smith) but fair play to him. It shows that there is still some loyalty in football

kensutz · 02-08-2005 12:49pm

It's good to see him sign another contract although I hate to say it but fair play to him for sticking with the club. We have a problem child with Damien Francis wanting away from the club. He should learn from AJ and just get on with playing for the club instead of sulking and acting spoilt. I for one will be happy to see him playing with the reserves until he learns his lesson (Francis that is) but well done to AJ, they might finish as runner ups to us now.

Aj signs new deal
