£12m fee agreed according to this and "personal terms unlikely to be a problem".

How accurate is Shoot? I tend think of it as the teenage football mag when I was a kid.

It's not a website I've ever bothered with before

It's actually The Sun that's running the story, not that that necessarily adds to its verisimilitude

I'm OK on that front as the Sun is not yet over the yardarm

Hoping this happens. With the "Davies" bid being rejected we need a proper left back who can defend and attack. £12m seems like a reasonable price.

 


Yannick Bolasie - Glenn Murray - Wilfried Zaha

Most exciting attacking trio at Selhurst Park in years.

It has been said by people far more qualified than I am that the player is NOT that good defensively but is good coming forward.

Van Aanholt can't defend mate, his positioning is shocking and he loves to turn his back on a cross.

A bit like Soare, then?

I don't think that anyone currently playing for teams from 12th place downwards in the premiership would be rated well for their defensive prowess.
It would also especially apply for any teams currently sitting in the relegation zone.

He has scored 3 goals and has 1 assist this season!

Fair enough; so who then, bearing in mind he has to be a realistic target for a relegation-threatened club? If PVA can't defend to save his life, are we to assume that Allardyce's interest is entirely misplaced?

im all for him. just confused - i thought we may use the 3-5-2 formation more often. Won't be the case if we get Van in as we'd have Pat and jeff down the left.

I don't know mate, I'm not paid to be a scout & I don't play FIFA or Football Manager so I'm not qualified to know this.

By all means ask a Sunderland fan or have a look on one of their forums for an appraisal of their player.

So your reasoning behind not rating Van Aanholt has come from a forum of a team that he clearly wants out of. okay, okay.

My mate's a Sunderland fan, has never rated him. I go off opinions on someone who watches his team regularly as he's better qualified than a fan on a Palace forum.

BFS wants players he trusts and Jenkinson and van Aanholt fit that. I suspect that we will be linked with a few other players that fit this.

I'm not sure if you're saying Allardyce is or isn't interested in signing PVA?

Wasnt sam their manager?? Why would he be trying to sign him if he's so s**t...

 

spartakev2 Flag Anerley 23 Jan 17 1.20pm

Dies make me laugh. We've had Leicester fans saying how bad schlupp Is, now weve got Sunderland fans saying how awful van arnhold is,
What's sam doing going for all these s**t players......clearly hasnt got a clue. ..or maybe hes an experienced manager who sees them as ideal for what palace need at the moment.
Rather think he may know what he's doing...

I am confused. Is the point here that there are better options in the Premiership? Or that there are better options at Palace?

It seems to me that he is the best of what is available at the moment. Certainly he is trading up going from Sunderland who are bottom of the table to Palace who are two places above.
