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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

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.
