I may be in a minorirty But I hope Young doesn't come. His wages are too much and he is coming towards the end of his career. I would much prefer a young player like Burke or Kaikai given a chance

I know young is not liked by alot off Palace fans but would add quality to our squad. Benteke would love youngs crosses and like all good wingers he can put It on a sixpence.

No thanks from me. Man is a glorified cheat. The same sentiments were expressed in relation to Benteke when he went down in the dying minutes of the game last season.

Having both Townsend and Young for the likes of Kaikai and possibly Burke to learn from and aspire to would be amazing. Would be a great signing. If we sign good players and have a strong squad that in itself will create chances for the younger players to play. Plenty of matches and if we're winning they can be blooded. Other hand if the team isn't strong enough then your throwing them in with too much pressure and expectations... Sign Young and Burke I say. That's the wing positions sorted for a few years then. Wilf Frightening options... Perfect time to get Young cheap. £5M plus wages and he'll be good for at least 2-3 years. Plus offers cover for LB or could be first choice LB...

When I said that just after that infamous dive against us, everyone was on my case, how fickle are some of the Palace fans, and I still think he would a fantastic addition to the squad, he's everything we need in the middle of the park.

Cant stand him but he can cover full back as well, so, if Club feel he would be a good addition I will support him as I do with all our players. Personally I do not think he would come to us.

As everyone is saying, there is a good case for Young, but for me would prefer Guezzal or if not, Burke. Our two first choice wide players would be Zaha and Townsend, then we could afford to spend a little time bedding in one of these two to the PL

He is one for the future, we need players for the present.

Burke would be an excellent squad addition. With Zaha & Townsend as first choice wingers, Burke together with KaiKai both offer massive potential and they could both fight it out with Sako to be able deputies AT and WZ.

Be nice to have the luxury of being able to introduce players of this ilk.If we are in a struggle (Like we have been in 2016), then I guess experience is what will be called upon.

For the last three years I think we have missed a trick in not signing a promising young winger who could learn off the likes of Bolasie ad Zaha, who would act as cover for them and give us another option off the bench. Redmond going from Brum to Norwich and Demari Grey from Brum to Leicester struck me at the time as missed opportunities. For this reason I would like to see Burke pursued over Young who is past his best now. Problem is unlike Redmond and Grey Forrest are under rich owners and have no pressure to sell him so could command a big fee 8 mill+
