Would be a good signing...for the right fee...and not as the savior of our goal scoring problems. If we reshuffle our strikers by the end of January and end up with Wickham, Afobe and a bigger name, then we've done well. If they aren't available though, then I guess we'll bring in a big name in the summer. Afobe would be a good compliment. RED AND BLUE ARMY!

Quote Petereagle at 05 Jan 2016 3.00pm Quote Mad4palace at 05 Jan 2016 2.42pm I'm not sure how championship goal scorers end up with such high valuations. Wolves turned down a 10 million bid in the summer, that's more than we paid for Wickham and the same as what we might pay to get Shelvey. Considering the risk element; he could be the next Igahlo as easily as being the next Bamford, I'd hope if this is who we're going for, then the deal consists of mostly add ons and a sell on fee. That said he does look a handy player with all the right physical attributes to be a success. Much more physical presence than Bamford. He might be on the short list as it were if we dont get Remy or Austin. [Link] He may become the main target if deals for Remy or Austin dont come off.

Quote Mwncisee at 08 Jan 2016 5.43pm Betting has been suspended on him after heavy backing on him joining Bournemouth You have to give Bournemouth a lot of credit for getting their business done early in the window. It's impressive if they land both Afobe and Iturbe in the first seven days, and makes them a lot better team. Really, that gives them a stronger line up for every game in January (at least three) versus not signing anyone until deadline day. That could mean up to nine points that make a real difference at the end of the season. They look like a really well run club. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Or maybe they are offering ridiculous wages? It's always about the money. Never forget this Our owners have always done their best for us without overpaying unnecessarily or jeopardising the financial position of the club. I would like them to continue doing this...

Precisely echoed by my wolves mate who said he would bite our hands off if gayle went the other way. If correct, wolves would be laughing at the deal for about as long as we laughed at getting aj as a make weight from the blues.

Living in Telford I know a few fans. They wouldn't be sad to see him go if we offered 10 mill. Sako is a better player. .

I agree, and I wasn't saying either that he was a good signing (for Bournemouth) or that I wanted him for Palace. My point was merely that Bournemouth seem to be very well run in so far as they are identifying the players they want and quickly bringing them in. Doing your business early in the window gives you an advantage (obviously providing the players you bring in work out.) Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.
