I’d take both Barnes and Livermore. Over the course of Roy’s reign, arguably two of the most consistent performers have been Tomkins and McArthur. Seasoned pros who get in with the job. That is to me, what Barnes and Livermore would bring to the squad. In today’s market, the sums being spoken about aren’t significant. These may not be the Eder’s of this world but they are useful additions to a team in our position. Yup, those two would be great additions and would strengthen our thin squad - always rate them when against us and are hard workers which teams outside the top six need to keep them above the relegation zone. Not only that, they are British and I find it hard wanting British teams to win against other foreign teams when both sides are full of foreign players - helps me choose who to support in non palace matches?

He seems to be within the price point we are prepared to pay. 2 He hustle and bustles in the box and does the kinds of things Benteke doesnt do very well.3 Would though his aggression get on the end of flicks etc from Townsend Zaha and Benteke. 4 He is quite a good fit in terms of what the team needs, even if he isnt an outstanding player in his own right

In fact the goal with his 'Weaker' left foot was a curling shot from just inside the area !

According to ssn this morning we are considering Barnes Aswell as Babacar I think at this point I’d snap their arms off for those two about now

Barnes, Babacar, Amadou, Livermore and Gueitia in the summer. That would be a good window. Edited by dp (29 Jan 2018 10.01am)
