Fulham's striker, only 19 and banging them in this season. Very highly rated, although he'd be 'potential' rather than the finished article.

Thoughts?

Got pace and power, can use both feet and is good in the air but he is relatively "Wet behind the ears" in age and experience and not what he require at this present time.

Actually, I think Dembele would be a very good addition. I'm not big on signing Championship players and I don't think he's definitely the short-term answer so if we did sign him, I'd still want to bring in a proven PL forward but as an addition to the squad with the longer-term in mind, his upside is dramatically higher than Gayle, Campbell, Bamford (now gone) and even Chamakh (at the end of his career).

Think he'd be a good signing, not one to come straight in and make a difference but definitely a player for the next couple of seasons. Heard Spurs are interested though

I like him a lot i'm a fan of Ross McCormack.
I think Dembele has a lot of interest from other clubs at the moment

Spurs deal fell through...

Fell through I think because Fulham wanted him loaned straight back. Not much good to us right now if that's what's on the table

If the only way we could get Dembele was to loan him back to Fulham for the rest of the season, I'd do it. Reluctantly, perhaps but I would still do it. Sometimes you've go to take the long view and I think he'd be a seriously good investment.

I think the player and his agent will wait until the end of the season for a huge deal. He's a good player but I think we have 0% chance on him.

That would be fine for or a club like Man U, Man C, or Chelsea, where money is no object, but for a club like Palace, financially it's a nonstarter, we need to spend wisely, and throwing £6m at a player with no prospect of playing for the club until next season is not very wise.

If Gayle goes it would be cost neutral, and we would have Wickham, Chamakh and Campbell, as well as (hopefully the smash hit) Adebeyor. Might be worthwhile...
