Up front, maybe Campbell and Gayle to move on and someone ike Batshuayi coming in would be an upgrade. Defensive Santon and Neidemeir would add wuality cover, and maybe Fryers, Hunt prrmanent transfers out?

Yeah, a number 10, as in the inconsistent and one dimensional Puncheon, the injury plagued Chamakh and the not-a-number-10 Cabaye.

I always thought the primary aim of a newspaper was to print NEWS - in that regard the article fails by a long way and tells people what they already know.

They also quote Austin's price as 15m - that was in the summer but it is now 8m. Also why would JS go? We need three keepers and he is great to have as back up. given his heart is with us and he has a business in the area I doubt he is banging the door down for a move.

Definitely a palace fan, as like most of us can't agree on what we need. One minute he says Connor Wickham is one for the future and we need need someone who will score goals now, then he says he'd rather buy an unknown 22 French player for 15m than Charlie austin. Personally I don't think Austin will go anywhere in Jan, why would he when he can wait till the summer and get a big layout. Can't see Remy being released in Jan either, doubt they'll get rid of anyone until a new manager arrives. So if we are going to get someone it's likely to be a foreign player or lower league one - bit of a gamble, but one I think we need to take, as we are short of options up front.

I was watching Boro play the other day and I thought that their winger, Albert Adomah was excellent and very similar to Yala.

With that player out for some time, perhaps now might be the time to try to get Adomah on loan. There was talk at Boro of perhaps loaning him out after he put in a transfer request in the summer.

He's tricky, has an end product and, what's more he a London lad - lambeth born.

His similarity to Yala goes on in that he used to play for Brstol City too, I think I'm right in writing.

Any 'potential' players we should buy in August, not now when their price will be even more inflated.

We need a striker and a winger after the injury blows last weekend. QPR have Matt Phillips and Charlie Austin. Worth looking at them both but Austin is prone to injury so maybe not what we need.

Rhodes would be interesting but not sure he'd fit into our system.

The foreign suggestions look good on FIFA but frankly this means fcuk all. Could be hit or miss. On that basis I'd rather have a Rhodes or Austin but only down to my ignorance.

The boy Demerei Gray at Birmingham looks good and is available at just 3.5m. He's getting lots of good write-ups currently.
