Clickbait allowing for credibility, it's encouraging to a naive optimist like yours truely, that 'rumours' are linking us with a striker doing well in the French league 1. Come on Palace, break the bank! Maybe we could offer a swop with the dynamic Mateta?!

Honestly, I'd prefer a half decent Championship striker to one from the French league.

And I don't need to mention Edouard, Mateta or one season Benteke. No more than Edouard is my personal belief on how much we should pay. He hasn't proved anything more than that.

With only one striker left, with Edouard, we arguably need two to come in. I don't think academy strikers like Street are up to it. And Omalabu has been released

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

I think he's not young anymore, had one and half good seasons in there and can probably do a job in the Championship. However, a promoted side or Forest might buy him. Whatever fee is being asked for him won't be met. They're probably asking for twenty, frankly, I wouldn't pay two. But you never know - never say never. The reactions on here would almost make it worth it but it wouldn't be a step in the right direction - unless he was our cover for some really good striker we bought as well. I expect you're not actually being serious; I got the odd flashback of him and then Benteke in front of open goals in front of my very eyes. The best defenders in the world would be proud of the way they'd somehow get it over the bar from three yards out. There's a certain skill in that.
