Not if it’s linked to Zaha going in the opposite direction - which to my mind is what it is all about..!!

Beyond that Everton won’t have the money and even the Sheriff of Nottingham’s funds must be running low by now having plundered the “shires” for 15 odd must be said based on yesterdays performance very average players..!!

Sandcastle is a possibility - but if it is linked to Zaha going in to Chelsea rows them out too.

For my tuppence worth - Gallagher coming in and then getting in Sarr as replacement for Zaha would be good business..!!

Also don’t rule out Hudson Odi - the loan deal to Leverkusen ain’t done yet - now Gallagher for £27M and Hudson Odi on loan with Zaha going to Chelsea would be very tasty indeed..!!!

If I’m Parish that’s what I’d be pushing for..!!

Interesting next few days me thinks..!!

The regime we had good relations with have all gone. A deal involving Zaha is looking the most likely outcome, if they cant get Aubameyang.

Looks like made up click bait , Oh its the hope that kills ya .

Seems to me that Dan Cook is able to conjure up a rumour for every occasion.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Whenever I see the phrases 'from what I've been told', 'I've had it on good authority' or 'Dan Cook' either alone or together as part of a story I immediately call BS.

Palace notoriously don't have leaks late into the summer window, the exception being Eze. When business is being touted by so called insiders, it's probably just an idiot looking at messageboards for clickbait.

So Dan, if you're reading this, I see you mate.

I ain't got nuthin' funny to say. Sorry.

With RLC sustaining a hamstring injury last night, now very unlikely Conor will be coming here.

At 27m do we want CG? I know prices are crazy right now, I’ve even read some articles suggesting Chelsea value him at 50m.

Personally the signings I like are the two centre backs we signed last year, both for roughly 17-20m each. Both now proven prem quality players. I wouldn’t swap both of them for CG…if given that option.

Look at the 9m spent on Olise and 16m spent on Eze. I wouldn’t trade both of them either.

What I’m saying is, I’d rather we went out and signed two CMs for a combined 27m and trust that our recruitment team will come good for us again.

When we signed Benteke and Sakho for ridiculous fees, we barely had a penny to spend for years to come. If they work out, great, but if they don’t, it’s a big problem.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

They may not be too keen to sell to Newcastle even if offered more money. Firstly because likely to be rivals to them soon and secondly cos it will be harder to agree a buy back clause that they like to include in most of their sales.

Chelsea won't have any midfielders available if they let Gallagher go. This is not happening unless by some miracle Chelsea sign a midfielder or two, which doesn't seem on the cards.
