It has to be the punt on Sturridge. I don't see how we can possibly lose that situation?

Sign him on a 1 year deal - I know he won't sign pay as you play, it's unrealistic but gets touted around by fans often. Worst case scenario he gets 5 games all season.

That's 5 games we'd have a significantly higher chance of scoring. To put it into context, had he been in Ayew's position on Saturday and scored, at the end of the season we'd have another 2 points. If that was his only contribution, it'd probably be worth the wages, especially if it's tight from 7 downwards like last season.

If Sturridge stayed fit we'd be so comfortably avoiding relegation it's untrue.

Has this been suggested anywhere in the media at something Palace are looking at? It seems to make too much sense but I'd love to get him in. I'm guessing we'll be disappointed come September?

Saw an article, in the telegraph, that 13 clubs are looking at Sturridge, we were not mentioned. Fenerbachce seem favorites, having offered a £60K a week contract.

I haven't seen us linked to any free agents and Parish stated our business was done.

Parish has got to be lying as he cannot seriously thinks that having not replaced the 6 squad players we lost in the summer with upgrades is OK...

I counted we had a squad of 23 without academy u23s. We did not use a second loan option which I suppose could be used for desperation in Jan, but we seriously need a goal scorer with our now bolstered midfield.
