Ive read Roma are not interested anymore, or never were. Spanish sides like Deportivo cant offer as much as us either apparently, so Barca board will try to push him to palace.

Think this aint dead yet.

Ive already tweeted him he best come palace or else.

yes.

Apparently according to Diario Sport on twitter he has not turned us down talks are delayed while the Barcelona delegation are away negotiating the Dembele transfer and will resume as soon as they return.

Personally would rather we buy him than loan him.

But if it means we don't have to sell Andros then maybe a loan with the right terms would be good. (I.e. an option to buy at a set price)

Andros
Wilf
Benteke
Munir

Would give competition and back up to all the front three as he can play any position across the front. If we can do this deal without selling Andros then it's a no loose situation and would mean we've strengthened in attack.

Would rather this than Khouma Babacar or the lad from Brentford, would love to see a different type of option in the front three/two rather than another target man

If it wasn't for the odd stories like this one and Babacar we wouldn't have anything to discuss as there seem to be far less rumours this year than in other transfer windows

Doesn't Barcelona want 15-20 million for him??

That'a little too much a gamble for a player who resembles Bojan Krkic so much, a player who could not adapt to English tough football.
