Nixon is reporting interest from Saudi in Ayew, and suggests that Parish is demanding £10m.
Snap their hand off some might argue.
But wait a minute.
He can do a decent job across the front 3 and as sub to run down a game.
He never gives less than 100%.
Yes, we could replace with younger and with more flair.
But he does offer something that could be difficult to replace in his sheer bloody mindedness.

I agree with the above, my Dad would say he is the type you want next to you in a trench.

Leaving all my soppy romanticism aside, which loves Jordan, he is the kind of player who might inspire groans of 'We need better/younger/more attacking threat' on a cold Tuesday night but every other day of the week you want to stay.

A tough one, he'll not live unappreciated in my memory if he does go, but there is an argument to say we have to move on.

 


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

I think most of us would be happy to see him stay, but preseason suggests he is unlikely to be a starter when everyone is fit. At his age and with everything he has done for Palace you couldn't begrudge him a move if it was for first-team football.

Wouldn't begrudge him a move, but he's still got a v important role to play.

Feels like the kind of player that will just get his head down and help in any way he can.

We need a quality squad and he should be part of that. Wouldn’t let him go whilst under contract

According to the Mail, Leicester have put a £4m bid in for him, let's see what pans out.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Surely worth A lot more than that to us ? Depending on wages.

The first player on Roy's team sheet, a number 9 picked by the manager for his defensive capabilities.
He did annoy me by wearing shorts that were way too big, but I doubt anyone has ever won more free kicks per minutes played than JA, or spent more time lying on the pitch holding his leg.
He did his job and has been a loyal servant. Times are changing though and he will at best get the last 5 minutes to run down the clock.

He's worth a lot to us. He holds the ball well, draws fouls at an astonishing rate, plays excellent defense, and seldom makes a selfish play. His only weakness is finishing, but we don't need that as desperately as we used to.

He should be an automatic sub if we have a lead with 15 minutes remaining.

4mm to a rival is a definite no.

10mm is a lot of money. I can only think of 3 players we've sold for more, Bolaise, AWB, Olise. Maybe Sorloth?

I think if it's true, then we take the money and invest in a player with more years left.

I hadn't noticed I wonder if this was fashion or tactics? If you are looking for fouls it might make it easier for a defender to grab you?
