Signed a 5 year contract at the beginning of the season. They have zero need to sell.

One of those players who unfortunately just can't seem to make the step up. A bit like Gayle (different player obviously).

How many strikers does a Premier League club need to keep the bench warm?

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

Ridiculous suggestion, Nketiah will sign on a free, and Benteke will be left out of the 25 even if Paddy and Shaun have to sign playing contracts

Never be Two Faced, Always Say What You Think, keep Chilled, Man

Great player, but like a few others has consistently show that he cant really make that step up.

Whilst not 'old' he doesn't fit the new profile of players with good sell on potential

I'd say no, but not a big no. At Fulham, he carries the burden. At Palace, we'd be signing him to back up JP and Edouard. As a forward off the bench, we could do much worse. He'd also have the sort of service in the Prem here that's he's never had a Newcastle or Fulham. With our midfield and wingers supplying the ammunition, I have no doubt his goalscoring record in top-flight would improve.

Either way, Fulham won't sell and if they did, the price would be starting number 9 level and we neither need a first-choice centre forward nor do we need to pay those prices for him to come off the bench. But in a perfect world, he wouldn't be a bad third choice option.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.
