Either would be great. Bats did a good job last time and has proved he can play in the league, but long term Brewster will be a great striker. Likely to only be a loan deal for him as I cannot see Liverpool selling and I am sure there will be many interested parties.

 

Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

This would be excellent if Palace can pull it off. Shame about Conor Gallagher though, unless Chelski were prepared to sell him, since they have £200m plus of talent incoming?

Better than nothing if it happens I suppose but another case of using sticking plaster to treat a longer term problem.
All we would be doing is postponing the striker problem for another year.
We would go into the season with Benteke and Wickham with one year left on their contracts and with Batshuayi on a one year loan.
Where is the longer term plan?

Indeed. The Athletic's Chelski correspondent has confirmed that Bats has signed a 1 yr extension and will move to us on loan. So no Gallagher. Haven't heard whether it's with a buy option.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Very mixed feelings about this.

Yes we need a striker and he's done well for us before (although over a year ago now and he's barely played since). As you say a loan is just papering over cracks and him signing a one year extension strikes me as he's not really motivated to kickstart his career. If he does well with us Chelsea will just demand 25m plus again.

Think I'd actually rather Gallagher's energy in the midfield plus a striker that we put our long term faith into.

Me too, but I have a hunch that Palace are trying to bring in a young striker too? There were rumours about Mateta, and the young Brazilian guy who went to Porto, etc

My bro seems to think there'd be an option to buy included in the deal. Although I must state he is officially NOT ITK before any accusations start flying around haha

But if that was the case then it'd make more sense to me if the value is reasonable. Plus as you say if it's complimented by another youthful prospect then great.

Proved exactly what we needed last time he was here.... Proper penalty box player and he seemed to gel with his team mates... International striker with Premier experience..... What's not to like!

A fair hunch, but the budget may be done with Eze and Bats coming in. Bats may be the striker we can't find elsewhere.

Still, happy to see Bats in a Palace shirt again. I don't have to worry about the finances.

 

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.
