No thanks. Certainly an improvement on Campbell but no improvement on Gayle (in the right formation) and definitely worse than Murray who should be our focus this season.

Quote sydtheeagle at 30 Jun 2015 11.41am Quote Johnjamesrambo at 30 Jun 2015 8.52am Anybody is a giant upgrade on Campbell who at best is Championship & facts of 31 goals in 140 games for Sunderland, Hull & us prove that. N`Doye has only been prolific in Denmark scoring 93 goals in 154 & he is 30. If you take out the 31 goals Murray scored for us in the promotion season, the other 3 season`s read 15 goals in 77 games & 8 in 18 for Reading last season. Gayle who i know you have never rated, he has 18 goals in 55 games for us. If we do get Austin or Remy, wouldn`t you like to see Austin & Gayle upfront or Remy & Gayle? If like most teams we play 1 upfront, Remy or Austin if we sign either, then Gayle or Murray atleast deserve a place on the bench. N`Doye would not be an upgrade, let alone a giant 1 on Gayle, if Gayle is played upfront with Remy, Austin or even Murray. I think this is extremely disingenuous. First of all, your stats are wrong. Campbell has played 127 Premiership games and scored 17 goals. Gayle has played 48 Premiership games and scored 12 goals. As we're talking about Premiership performance here, let's ignore hat-tricks against Walsall in the League Cup, eh? However, the point of this is not to re-hash my views on Gayle but, rather, to question why Campbell has become everyone's favourite whipping boy at Palace? Bottom line: Campbell is not the Premiership centre forward you'd choose to spearhead your attack but he is a solid performer who has had success at far higher levels than Gayle in his career. Due to injury, we have seen nowhere near the best of him at Palace but he's a decent footballer (not just goalscorer) and as a "fourth" forward in a squad, there are many worse. Given a prolonged, injury-free run he has at least something to contribute. If we had a forward line-up of Remy, Ndoye, Murray and depending where you position them, Chamakh and Puncheon, Campbell is far from the worst player we could have in reserve. As for N'Doye, he would be a MASSIVE upgrade on Gayle. Different class altogether. Edited by sydtheeagle (30 Jun 2015 11.41am) Is the wrong answer.

Gayle, Murray and N'Doye would do fine with our upgraded service. Seems as though the main pull our club has these days is location, location, location.

Sometimes I wonder if people on here study the pedigree of the players we are linked with. The guy had a great record at Moscow, and scored 7 or 8 goals in about 14 starts for Hull last season. He also scored against us, yet all people remember is that he missed three opportunities against us before he scored, which can happen sometimes. I think for 5 Million he would represent pretty good value

I trust the management to get the right players in, so I don't see any point in players being 'written off' and 'not wanted'. At the end of the day we will get who we get and as Palace fans support the players that put on the red and blue shirt. In Pardew we trust!!

Quote Fazil Bawlty at 23 Jun 2015 10.51am Dame N'Doye's no substitute for Austin or Cissé. He's 30 years old and not on the same technical level. That said, he's still got a bit of pace and a decent finish so it'd be a good signing if he wasn't our only new striker. He'd add to the squad, but not significantly enough to replace Murray. Think your observations are excellent. I could not agree more!.
