I agree with the strategy we need to start buying younger players with potential and sell on value. I know we need a striker now but one should not preclude the other.

So it now comes down to price is he value for money?

Last year? we bought that young Brazilian goalkeeper over on a loan with a view to buy. He didn't work out but it wouldn't have cost too much money that is the type of strategy we should be using.

One more point

Always difficult to trust 'rumours'. If I can put it this way: I hope this one is accurate! If a signing is made, with loan back agreed as suggested, Palace would have to wait a while before receiving any benefit.

Anybody noticed how Palace always offer too little to get their man, and ask for too much to sell their players? And wait till the last minute in hope of a brilliant coup? So nothing gets done, and another year goes past. Maybe worth learning from past mistakes, and watch how thew pros do it, such as Southampton and Wolves.

My guess is that something is going on and they are trying to sign him. Trouble is they are up against the City Group, who have very deep pockets they can't compete against

Apparently Palace is now showing interest in another Brazilian, who according to wiki is playing in Finland

Seems delusional for me to believe we might successfully scout the next big thing from Brazil then actually pay for and sign them.

Indicative of not much else going on and another dismal start to a campaign with no new signings

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
