Flasher

Agreed. I'd also add that it confirms my belief that we need a striker with Premiership experience. We can't afford to take chances on Kuyt, Torres etc in my opinion. We need someone to join that will hit the ground running. Bellamy is looking the right choice as each day passes in my eyes. Never actually thought I'd ever say that, but needs must and all that.....

He has been a consistent goal scorer in a poor team, end of. He runs his nuts off every game and causes havoc. Can't believe people are so excited about Darren Bent as a better option to be honest. Reminds me of Marcus Stewart, Michael Ricketts, Clive Mendonca etc. One good season and everyone goes nuts.

RAFA, RAFAEL RAFA, RAFAEL RAFA, RAFAEL RAFAEL BENITEZ

He also makes a lot of those penalties. A goal is a goal. Wouldn't be surprised if someone bigger doesn't come in now. It's now known that Palace have a price.

It's just football FFS. Anyway, your heroes don't seem to mind.

I agree Stevie. Thought Palace were a bit hard on him to be honest, but they had every right to be I guess. This time they'll take the money for sure.

BBC Link If Palace are happy with £8.5m then I'd be very tempted. £7m for Beattie? £7m for Nando? £14m for Cisse? £8.5m for Johnson compares well I think

Plenty of people mate

He reckons he's worth £20m, though he realises he's in a minority of one. I reckon he's testing the water now. He's not silly, and will make sure he gets the absolute maximum for him.

Good chance AJ will move on now I guess.

I think it's more like their new away one, but in red and white obviously. The Bayern top above is awful

Has he signed yet?

Just stumbled on this These two shirts keep surfacing time and time again.

Something makes me think that this Leopard isn't going to change his spots, and Rafa is running out of paint trying to change them himself. We can't talk about potential anymore for someone of Cisse's age. Stand back and you'll see he's laughed at, for good reason. Whilst that is not enough reason to base your opinion, it should certainly make you look harder at the situation. Do we want to win the league next season? Ideally, yes. Is Cisse the sort to make that happen in the Premiership? Very unlikely. Let's cash in on his recent scoring run while we can I say.

Someone clear something up for me. Is Alves a full back or winger, or both??

Injuries maybe? Not many raced to sign Owen from Madrid. Let's see who races to sign him from Newcastle. I'd rather have Defoe. Younger, quicker, fitter. Strikes the ball better too. Shoot me at will........

I hope he signs. I will keep this thread if he does too. The boy has an excellent scoring record so far during his short career. Let's not forget that he has played with some crap at Spurs in his time. Fact is, few strikers hit the ball as well as he does, not to mention his pace. With good players around him he could be excellent. He'll score a hell of a lot more than Nando, and Crouch probably. Also, why are people so sure that Martin Joel is the bees knees all of a sudden with his team selection. Thought most agreed he was an idiot? When it suits eh?

I don't. Good signing if true. Sure we'll get another top striker too.

I like what you did there Serko

I think Rafa's is holding back so as not to turn attention on Moro and Cisse (which would inevitably be the case if he announced Fowler was staying). It's far easier to talk publicly about Fowler's situation than Nando's or Cisse's. Just my opinion like.

Sign him, he's quality. His crossing/distribution is top notch. Great at holding on to the ball and beating players too.

I beg to differ. I think it was his best in a white shirt.
