Originally posted by black eagle. Burke is quality.we should try and get this over the line. Exactly this. Big, mobile, direct if still a little rough around the edges. Would be a definite improvement to the squad. Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Would be over the moon if we get this done. Worth every penny of the 18m... He's still a kid and unbelievably talented. Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Must be a good player if LB Leipzig are prepared to let him go after only a year and when zaha returns were will he play as I said spend the money elsewhere like on another forward or another GK

Originally posted by bashy2 Why we buying another winger for God sake we must have about 4 now tells me that townsend is leaving otherwise punch can play as a winger that's where he played whilst at Southampton and played they for palace I think its his best position actually money could be better spent elsewhere in my opinion Well we have Sako - not up to prem std, Punch - Not up to prem std, Wilf - injured and Andros. Seems to me we're a little light and this would be a great addition IMHO

We would be buying potential, but wd probs struggle to adapt to the PL And we cant afford to let Townsend go to recoup costs, with Wilf out for a month. Having said all that, woukd love to see hum at Palace [Link]

18 million euro for Oliver Burke is madness, the chap has a lot of potential and will probably end up a top player, but all he has at the moment is pace and power. Its far from what we need. We will ship 3 goals a game if we dont get our defense sorted.

We do need competition but if this is majority of our budget it's a big concern. Another Damien Diagonal - Total Football

You are right there. Our subs bench last weekend was shocking. So really need players in every position but as you say if 18 million is the majority of our budget then other positions are priority.

Having said all that, woukd love to see hum at Palace [Link] Link says - 17 starts, 7 goals from a 20 year old with loads of potential isn't bad at all. I'd be extremely happy if this one gets done. We need someone who can come in and fill in for Zaha for 4 weeks but also to be competition for both him and Townsend. Let's face it, Sako and Lee are not up too it.

Would be absolutely delighted if this came to fruition. Wanted us to sign him before he went to Germany, he could be quality. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

He's a big powerful unit (6ft2ins) and could offer attacking cover both for Benteke down the middle and Zaha on the wing. So two gaps plugged with one signing [Link]

Would this be blocking the way for our youth players like Kai Kai? Not saying he's ready, but is that a consideration?
