I like the fact that so unconvinced are we that Nketiah might come to us that no-one is even talking about it on the forum! Personally with JPM revitalised and Eduoard back fit I can't see us signing a striker at all. Although as it is no longer a priority we probably will now.

The rumoured £40-50m is also way too much for a reserve striker and way outside of the club's budget I would imagine.

I think the fact that Nketiah is rumoured to have turned us down twice already (if true) doesn't bode well for the prospect of a transfer being completed or if it does do we just end up with someone coming in who is only here because no one else wants him / doesn't want to be here & thinks he is billy big boots / better than he really is.

Wildly over-hyped player with an extortionate price tag.

At his current goals/minutes in the PL this season, playing every single minute of the season would see him get 17.8 goals.

To be worth the money they're quoting, he'd need to score at least as regularly as he does at Arsenal, in a much worse team.

I don't think he is the"Bees Knees" but he runs about a bit and shows a tinge of enthusiasm on occasion which must mean he is a bit better than Edouard who is total ****.

For £40m, I think it’s reasonable to expect a bit more, than runs about a bit looking enthusiastic!

If Arteta is bemoaning the fact that his strikers aren't good enough, why would we want to sign on of them? If Nketiah isn't good enough for Arsenal he shouldn't be good enough for Palace, after all we are in the same division.
