If Alistair MacLean were still alive he'd be suing for the use of that title

Story on Newsnow today that Vieira is considering ending Meteta's loan early, so he can use the loan space for someone else.

If we are considering Lookman on loan then it adds up.

However, whether the loan agreement allows us to do that is another matter.

i thought that too - the 2 player loan rule only applies to loans between Prem clubs.

My understanding is we can still get both Nelson and Lookman if we so wished as only 1 is registered with an English club.

We can't get another loan from Chelsea as we already have Gallagher.

As we are short of strikers and Mateta started the last game i'm hoping this is a non story

We desperately need further forward power but totally unconvinced by Mateta - lacks confidence ,sluggish and has no pedigree

yeah get rid

Has Tammy signed anywhere yet?

prefer him to Wilf now

That would be a great statement

Keen over Complacent

I hope Wilf buys into being coached by excellence far above his ever standing - if not go and let us progress with a quality number 9

(PS . still never think Ayew fits with another sulky attitude player)

The story that Palace might put an end to Matetas loan, is gaining legs by the day. Palace are looking to improve the quality of the squad, and one would hope the quality of play. On that basis Mateta, is not looking suitable, technically he doesn’t shine when in game time, and if this is apparent in training it should be no surprise if Viera, wants to look else where.
