I still think the best deal here is a loan with an option to buy. The deal for Bats, if we are to believe the rumour is that it’s a loan deal with an obligation to buy. If that is truly the case then we are very likely to buy him permanently and he would have to be considered the clubs main striker. Any other forward is for competition and depth...even if we do play two strikers. Are we really in a hurry to spend 25m on a substitute? I say get him on loan with an option to buy for a set fee. If that was possible of course. Last I read, Palace had an option not obligation to buy.... Chelsea have handed Batshuayi a one-year contract extension, to protect his value and prevent him from leaving Stamford Bridge for free next summer. He will again wear the No 23 shirt for the club. Palace have an option — rather than an obligation — to purchase Batshuayi permanently at the end of the loan

Palace have an option — rather than an obligation — to purchase Batshuayi permanently at the end of the loan I’ve not read anything official for either case. There have been rumours that it’s an obligation to buy...but the signing of a new deal does make that less likely else why bother with the new deal if we are obligated to buy him. Then again if the obligation is triggered by appearances for example then Chelsea would be wise to have a new contract in place in case of injury. The jury is out on this one. Perhaps after a few goals there will be questions asked about whether Palace want him long term.

Maybe we haven’t got the money to buy him this season and Chelsea are just protecting their asset from leaving for free next year.

I don't think it's been quoted anywhere official so, as we are all well aware, most of what we have read on sports news websites is nothing but guess work. What I would add is Palace certainly added an obligation to buy into the Sorloth loan deal, so it's certainly possible that they see that as a good way to do business. My point though in bringing up Bats, is that if he does well I can see him staying. So are Palace going to go out and spend another £25m on a second striker?

Liverpool apparently want £25m and a buy back option,with Sheffield United being in pole position and barely a wimper from us.

Remains to be seen whether an actual bid will materialise. But a new young striker seems to be our main remaining priority, so with time beginning to run out, something better happen soon!

I will stick my neck out and say he will be a proven striker. He's the best I've seen us linked with recently. He's a mixture of pace, power, strength and some skill. The buy back clause is a strange one. Why sell if you're convinced he'll come good? Just loan him out. No big deal.

We would be mad to buy him. We’ve now got a great line up of forwards. Where will the money come from ? Unless of course our directors are paying. Preservation is the name of the game. It’s all about to get very messy financially in the football world. We are fine as we are now.
