Well done if you saw any of that lot play!
Of that team none of Gibbs, Brandao,Walker or Christensen played in a competitive first team match as far as I recall. Only friendlies and reserve matches.
The Brandao who now plays for Portugal isn't the one we had. Ours was a full back, pretty sure the now superstar is a forward.
The Brandao who's a forward is a Brazilian at Marseille.
The Portuguese one is definitely the same one we had, now plays for Siena.
Paul Rachubka - £200,000 without playing a game Gary Rowett - £3.5m - 13 games 1 goal - unlucky to be honest. Souleymane Diawara - 3.75m sold for 2.6m a year later Djimi Traore - 2m sold for 1m 6 months later playing 11 games Ben Thatcher - £500,000 for 22 games n a stupid sending off against blackburn Amdy Faye - 2m for a very poor season and 20k a week in wages Karim Bagheri - £400,000 for 15 mins of football Omar Pouso - £337,000 for a loan deal and 56 mins of football Martin Christensen - £250,000 and 5k a week in wages M.Bent - £2.5m - When curbs started getting disinterested Luke Varney - 2.5m and supposed high wages then sold year n half later for 1m
Total - £17,937,000.00
honourable mentions go to Yassin Moutaoakill, Andy Gray, Dean Sinclair and JFH (on wages alone)
Right have not looked at others and bear in mind i probably havent seen as many of our greats as a few on here: Best GK: Dean Kiely RB Luke Young LB Chris Powell CB Richard Rufus CB Jorge Costa RM-Graham Stuart CM- Scott Parker- first on team sheet for me as my fave player ever CM- Claus Jensen LM- Andy Reid ST-Darren Bent ST-Paulo Di Canio (unfortunately never saw mendonca or hunt) also got shirt with his name when wanted parker but they didnt have the letters lol
GK- Carson RB-Sorondo LB-Powell (i think he was on loan for us a couple of seasons ago so counts) CB-Perry CB-Costa MR-Scott Sinclair ML-Bouazza MC-Zheng Zhi MC-Alexander Song, close one with smertin ST-Bartlett ST-Marcus Bent
Mixture of who did well for us above and some are better players now eg. sinclair didnt really get the chance where as song & smertin done well at the club and looked quality

Kitson's a bit harsh.
You're forgetting his fantastic hat-trick at The Valley in 2001.
That was against us though! Can't praise him for that. The harsh thing was that he was still dropped by West Ham the next game.
Has to feature Kish...

Could we just about have had enough of them to put together our Palace XI of the decade?
Here's a few:
McCarthy
Ward
Hudson
Sorondo
Butterfield
Salako
Ambrose
Soares
Mark Bright? Was he still with us this decade?
Tough Competition for their manager though!
