This would be an AMAZING signing!! When were first linked I honestly thought we didn't stand a chance.

Can't get too excited tho as there has been so many rumours and nothing so far has happened.

Signings like this tho may keep Zaha a Palace player for longer.

Yes, definitely. will play left side narrow. Zaha has been given the free role in all the friendlies I have watched.

What exactly is left side narrow?

This would be a signing worth the wait, that's for sure

 
Hudsoneagle Flag 31 Jul 18 2.03pm

Hmm

We need to replace both Cabaye and RLC. Out of the two I would have to agree with others on here and assume Meyer would more likely fill the RLC role.

That would mean we still need one of Kouyate or Gonalons. A true centre mid.

After that a winger and a young forward would be the icing on the cake. Thinking Abraham or Ings and then perhaps Antonio or Watkins.

thought it was self explanatory, like RLC played last year and Schlupp in pre/season

Agree with Mattteo, he needs to play as a 10, he's too small and not physical enough for CM.

Would be a fantastic signing although rumours of £137k a week wages ... guess he's free so that makes up for a chunk of that though and IF he excels we're looking at a huge resale value.

I dont get understand this. Cabaye is 5ft-7in...

We need a playmaker - I hope; no I pray this is him!

He's great behind the centre forward, but was terrible as a central midfielder (what they wanted him to play the past year) in my opinion.

Most reports I have read from Germany say he played his best football when he dropped deep as he is not particularly quick. Great signing if it happens but will only believe it when he has put pen to paper.

Most Schalke fans were excited by the prospect of him dropping deeper and thought he had played his best football there since he first broke in to the team as a no.10 with Huntelaar, Draxler and Farfán all around him.

SSN are ridiculous, if you ask most Germans what they think of Meyer and they’ll say he run the midfield at Schalke! Sky showed a 40 second clip of his stats stating he hasn’t scored or got an assist, the usual hate on Palace! I think he’s got big potential, just needs to show his class and get some more first team football!

If Liverpool, Arsenal and Marseille are genuinely interested then we will do well to get him to Selhurst Park I would have thought!

Massively want this deal to happen. If we keep Zaha and pull this off I would be happy with the transfer window. Also considering we have a new keeper. In an ideal world we would bring in a winger as I suspect Zaha will play up front or off the front man.

Hate on Palace?? That clip was produced to cover Arsenal and Liverpool's interest in him and they're now recycling it. And yes, those are his stats. It's not the full story, but a numbers-based snapshot of it.

Google 'chill pill' and hit I'm feeling lucky

When we were initially linked the other week I watched his highlights reel and thought he looked very much like a younger fresher Cabaye. Picking up the ball deep, starting attacks and hungry in the tackle. It would be a fantastic signing I think, filling a big need.

If the medical is today... We can expect it to take at least another 10 days to be announced after our notorious rigorous medicals Fingers crossed for this one.

Indeed...we'll somehow contive to submit the registration papers 30secs too late meaning we'll pay for him to sit on the sidelines and balloon in weight until Xmas!

If Wikipedia is to be believed this guy has had glittering career until very recently. He sounds like just what we need. I am excited!

Don't get too excited - this is Palace after all!

yes, but that's actually to our advantage. West Ham pick him up on a free, and they sell Mark Noble to us for 29M.

Exactly what I saw last season which is why I made the suggestion. His best performances have been in that deeper role seemingly due to his slight lack of pace - something that would be magnified in the PL.

Reckon he could be the creative spark needed to terrify teams going forward with Wilf, Andros & just about any striker thriving on accurate, clever passes.

Everything crossed.
