Best option yet, I'd say. Didn't realise he's was as young as 33 so still just about got legs. Had a good rapport with the fans so would give the place a lift. Thought he was excellent with us, great first touch and would bring others in to play. Very skillful too which would open up defences.

People are laughing at these suggestions (Lambert & Cole as well) - you are aware that we have no recognised striker and the transfer window has shut? Beggars can't be choosers and that's us right now. No harm whatsoever in get 1 or 2 of these of these out of contract guys in on a rolling contract.

I'm all for youth as much as everyone else (is Lapado even still young?!), but now is not the time. Whilst we're in our current mess I'd rather an experienced head to help dig us out

So we go back to a player that we released because he wasn't up to the level of the PL ? Doubt this would happen at any club, then again this is Palace and presently anything seems possible.
