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

maybe somewhat, but then it would help push out sako and lee, get those off the bench and will enable players like kai kai to be the ones on the bench.

anyway, Burke is left footed, him on the left, zaha on the right again eventually, townsend likes cutting it with both feet and can shoot, I say Andros CAM.

If asking price is €18m, then he'll probably go for around €15m?

Clearly interested in him if the press conference today from Frank is anything to go by. Talked about how good and young he was and how well Leipzig did to get him then finished with 'We have other options as well'.

another Standard article with FDB quote:

He said: "We only want players who can really contribute to the squad.

"You're not going to throw money away, it has to be a quality player who can directly fit into the way we are playing and he has to be 100 per cent fit.

"He (Burke) is a very young, promising Scottish player. He's from Great Britain so it's always interesting to see those kind of players.

"He's still very young, maybe, but we are also focusing on other players."

Well at least it confirms we're looking at bring more players in.

Reckon Burke and zoet will sign for palace but still thing we need another defender which could be chambers

 

BelfastEagle Flag 18 Aug 17 9.43pm

With 9 defenders already why do we need more ?

At the other end we have just one centre forward ?

Changing formation and starting that from the back. You shouldn't need to ask that by now.

According to the media we are interested in Burke and also ready to sell Townsend, Kelly and Tomkins to fund player purchases.

Surely replacing Townsend with Burke is a huge risk

Summarises the current situation, which seems to add up to there may be some interest, but nothing official and certainly no bid yet

Palace do not need just now an unproven Championship player who has failed in Germany,how ever promising he may be.

Wasn't Bolasie a failed championship player who was unable to get into the Bristol City first team ?

From an article with no actual quotes saying that.

 


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Sopt on.

So too were Delaney, Zaha, McArthur, Dann, Tomkins, etc. All of whom have, at one time or another, have been slagged off as not good enough for their current club so they can't be good enough for us...

If you look at Diego Costa's early record, I bet people would have been slagging off him too if we were linked. It's ridiculous.

Hopefully he's been scouted properly, he looks like a player suited to the way we play so I assume there is a reason why he's been targeted specifically.
