Originally posted by Willo I'm not going to comment about the speculation but I will pass comment on one of the players being mentioned in the media. Gestede is a terrific header of the ball and is strong at getting on the end of crosses.But he is not the most mobile, is not one to link the play nor does he have the pace to get in behind defences. I understand that he has a good scoring record against Nottm Forest and as of a few months ago had scored 7 in his last 7 games against them. Ok let's ask if we can play Forest every week then...

Gestede rumoured to be off to WBA. The problem that we will now have in this window is that we are relegation contenders so it's going to be a lot more difficult to attract the better players.

Loans may not be so much of a problem, depending on what they're looking to get out of it. As for permanent moves, we could find ourselves limited to mercenaries and the last-pay-day, end-of-career mob or taking a risk on players from the Championship who don't fear ending up back where they came from. We seemed to suffer a bit recruitment-wise in the summer, as a result of our form, and that will be times two in the next window. Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing?

I can't help thinking that Gestede was never going to be a 'better' player anyway so no great loss. However, I would agree that based on previous January windows we are likely to end up with 'end of career, nowhere else to go' players.

If they are looking to get regular gametime due to lack at another club then they good do well. Even quality players returnning from injury can be beneficial, Robert Huth for Leicester springs too mind. In fact Leicester is a good example of a club turning a defence in Jan under Pearson.

He's a massive risk, injury-wise. Do we give him a place in the 25? As it stands we have two vacancies, Wickham and Souare, so if we just sign a LB and a striker, I suppose he stays. It rather depends who else leaves in the window. Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

If we buy Gestede, he will suffer from the same lack of supply as Benteke, who is twice the player he is. Let's keep the ball this season!

Even if Gestede is half the player Benteke is, I'd happily take half of Benteke's goals from Gestede. I'm sure he'd be less than half the price. Thinking about Campbell being only only striker if Benteke gets a knock down makes me mental.

Originally posted by mayler/rh13eagle I'd like to see us sign John obi Mikel as our Jedi upgrade as he's not been replaced. Rumoured to be heading to Marseille but they want flaming and at 29 on a free I think would be a useful addition. Next would be schlup from Leicester as a wife left player either lb or lm would give us much more balance. Lastly Defoe to play off benteke I think gestede would be a waste of time what's needed is a good smaller striker (Gayle) 🙈 Dare I say it. Be good if we could get Jaap Stam in to run the show aswell!! Like Schlup, but his head won't be right whilst dealing with his personal emotions. 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.
