This could be a pinch of salt story but ......CRYSTAL PALACE are making a daring bid to snatch Germany keeper Kevin Trapp from French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
Eagles boss Roy Hodgson wants a new No 1 and an approach has been made for Trapp, 27, who is not starting and could be keen on a Prem switch.
PSG need Trapp on the bench for their domestic title tilt and bid for a first Champions League win but they will give the move some thought.
Trapp has suddenly fallen out of favour after helping Germany win the Confederations Cup in the summer and also playing his part in PSG claiming the major honours in France.

Now French stopper Alphonse Areola, 24, has pushed him out of the all-star side and opened the door for Palace to make their move.

Hodgson has been chopping and changing his keeper spot between Wayne Hennessey and Julian Speroni, so a loan move may suit as the Eagles bid to avoid relegation.

A fine singer

'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'

Would be bang on the money. An excellent goalkeeper

We're the Arthur over ere!

Great Show. Enjoyed watching it with the kids.

Keeper sounds good , need to find someone.

What a load of old Trapp.

But he would be a useful addition to future nostalgia threads (“How come there are no ‘Kevins’ any more? etc)

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Well that's bad news.

They dress it up as the 2 clubs fighting over Trapp. Long story short, Palace may be interested but if Liverpool are also then they will get him.

Now, Simon Mignolet at Palace if this happens? That's possibly more intriguing.

On the face of it I'm sure a lot will scream NO because of some awful performances for Liverpool but he was always top notch at Sunderland and some players, Goalkeepers in particular, can fold under immense pressure like playing for a team of Liverpool's side.

It's a big mental game and little things like knowing his team Liverpool, were in a position to beat Arsenal the other night and as long as he can have a good game, they will win and he goes and makes a terrible mistake.

At Palace, if we were 2-1 up to Arsenal at the Emirates, the general consensus would be we will still lose the game anyway, if that's not going through his mind and he can concentrate on goal-keeping, maybe he doesn't make any errors and helps us win.

All speculative but you don't just go from very good keeper to one of the worst in the league over night.
