Out of contract with Chelsea at the end of the season and rumored by BBC that he's gonna hand in a transfer request in Jan. Worth maybe getting in with an offer now to sign in the Xmas transfer window?

tbh I would have him, still doesn't play like a 33 year old, looks and plays with enery/younger.

however, theres no way we can lob on another (and im quite sure hes earning) 100k player on our small books.

Today's performance clearly shows where we need strengthening and it isn't foremost at the back. Need to get a striker who at least can finish sometimes, preferably most times !!

We shouldn’t forget that Neil Dann is still on our books and not too far away from being on the bench. So a definite no to Cahill.

If he has not played for Chelsea in the Champions´League, he will no doubt be hired by a rival contender able to afford him.

GC´s current employers could well put a lid on this issue by keeping him as a valuable squad member at the very least as they will want to be fully assured of getting the most out of this season. That said, they can and will do as they like, whilst I, as a Palace fan of longstanding, will always relish our beating them at Selhurst Park at the onset of our turnaround last season under my fellow Croydonite Roy Hodgson.
