Glad someone has said this , most palace fans seem to think he is injury prone , which is laughable he has been fit most of his career , just had two injuries with us , pure bad luck.

At £4m,with his wealth of experience and awareness, must be worthwhile ,as it gives us so many more options with little financial risk in the scheme of things.

Those who have had past glories but now in the twilight of their careers are probably best avoided. Adebayor was a prime example for us last year.

Obviously I would love to have seen van Persie in the red and blue but I think we should be looking for younger and more hungry players now.

Before the cup final he was involved with our last 5 goals, you could see the quality and the only striker we had who could play with his back to the goal and always looking to get on the ball. Okay wages were a bit high but not a bad signing to have in the squad for 6 months of last year.

No - hopefully we have learned something from getting players in their twilight years - none of whom have worked out.

if we buy RVP we are also buying the treatment table which is stuck to his back.

it's a no from me.
