Have to say I agree. He was the only one who looked anything like a threat on saturday. Works hard and can beat a player or two. Only criticism is I think he should play on the left. Sam played him there and he was much better at getting crosses in for benteke.

SSN making even less sense. Gray apparently available at £25m and Palace are interested. Bournemouth prepared to pay £20m. Leicester interested in Townsend at £25m. Townsend's people saying he won't be part of any swap deal. But why would Palace pay £25m for Gray anyway? Meanwhile nothing further on Sakho no 1. SSN still saying Sakho no 2 could go to Palace for £10m, even though HoL has reported tweets from Gold saying that he is going nowhere.
Sort that lot out....
PS and none of this takes account of the latest claim that Spurs would pay £25m for Gray and Leicester want more.
If even some of this is true, it gives the sad impression that Palace are thrashing around unsure of what they want or how to get it (same as the government and Brexit, actually).

The right place at the right time

You better remove those stones or the RSPCA will be round. Just like the transfer market it needs some authority to sort the mess out, lol.
