After his stunning performance on Saturday night for the three lions, I was just wondering what you all thought out chances of signing him up proper were?

I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic about it myself. (I know, crazy, right?) Obviously a MOTM for England isn't going to help us in that he'll become even more attractive to other teams, but we all know Chelsea's dire history with youth players. And being a local lad, he does seem to share a connection with both the area and the club. Whether or not we'd actually shell the money to get him is another story, but I don't reckon the price'll be too high, so we might have a shot.

Either way, he's exactly the sort of player we need - a proper number 10 who can provide the spark between Zaha, Townsend and Benteke. Fingers crossed

We cannot even think about it until we are sure of survival in the Premiership.

What was so special about his performance for England? I really don't understand the fascination with him all of a sudden. So many English players get over hyped and then called s*** because they don't turn World Class. Sky etc always do it.

All I've seen since the Germany game is how amazing he is and how Chelsea are stupid to loan him out.

I don't think he's done much for us and especially not enough to make us spend money getting him on a perm. Was very surprised he even got a call up as I think Townsend has been much better than hin this season.

Now he's played for England his price will go up a few mill anyway.

Maybe he just needs to be playing every week in s team not in relegation battle who have hardly any possesion?

I see lots of chelsea fans want him back now, think him getting good reviews at wembley has scuppered any chance of us getting him permenantly, thats if we wanted him!

Dream on...no chance now..

Here since 81...(LAST CENTURY !!).. x-Dunraven School, early 1960.... Palace 'nut' since 58....

There's always a chance. A club like Chelsea could spend £100mill on two midfielders before the loan is out and push Ruben further down the pecking order.

We are in London only 6 miles from where he was brought up and if he is happy here and we stay up I reckon we might just nick him.
