Thanks for this update.Very positive news.

It does look as if we are keen. Not everyone’s choice, but if he proves better than Mateta, it’s something.
Personally I think tied to a more offensive mid field set up he could prove a real asset. If he comes we move closer to what’s needed to give Viera,s new look side more teeth. And the fee suggested doesn’t look to different to what Mateta, would end up costing

It’s a gamble which hopefully will pay off if we sign him.
Bielsa didn’t play him much when on at loan at Leeds, but this was possibly due to the lone striker formation he employs and with Bamford in good form there was no role for Nketiah.
He also hasn’t done a great deal at Arsenal, but has had Lacazette and Aubameyang ahead of him to be fair.
If he comes to Palace, hopefully this would be the opportunity he needs.
I would be curious to see where he fits in to Vieira’s supposedly favoured 433 formation.
One of the front 3 with Benteke and Zaha or as a replacement for Benteke?
I suppose it will take care of itself if he joins.

Nketiah doesn't look any better than JPM to me. Think if JPM is given a run he'll start banging them in. I'd take Edouard over all of them any day though. Quality striker. But then what do I know...in Steve and Dougie we trust!
COYP early days!

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong

What are you going on about??... Benteke has been given a run for the last 4 seasons and still can't score goals.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Agree about the lump Tekkers but Mateta needs to be given a good run. For what ever reason not one of Roy's favourites. Had a knack of destroying players' confidence. Bless him
