Swap deal with Gayle going the other way hasn't materialised, but doesn't say it is dead. Mind you it originates from the Mirror.

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

I'm usually impressed by him when I see him play, but am a bit surprised no one else seems very interested in him and that he doesn't often play a full game. Are there maybe other issues about him we don't know about?

I know MOTD only shows the highlights but I've always thought he has better vision and crossing than Wilf or Bolasie. His shooting is definitely better. I can see elements of Sterling in his game. Does anyone know if he can also play down the middle? If we got him you'd hope we'd get him, Yannik and Wilf on at the same time and let Redmond do the Puncheon role (sometimes out wide, sometimes central).

I do hope however this doesn't give the owners a licence to say yes to an approach for Bolasie.

All I do know is that he has been encouraged to exploit space behind the main striker so has played in the "Hole".Good crosser of a ball and can score from free kicks.

Without doubt. Should of done a double deal with Curtis Davies as well. Then again Ollie might not of fallen on his sword if he had done deals like this and we might not be where we are today.

Nor I.

Can we all please pull out our collective fingers to avoid this turing into another Roumain Thomas (about whom - for the avoidance of doubt - I've heard no rumours) Thread. It seems to take such a long time to winkle out any information. It really isn't difficult: if everyone who doesn't have info can just show some basic courtesy and simply confirm as much, we are then left with the straight-forward task of thoroughly pumping the remainder for their squirreled intel.

As a woman, I can step aside, or step up my game...
