Clickbait allowing for credibility, it's encouraging to a naive optimist like yours truely, that 'rumours' are linking us with a striker doing well in the French league 1. Come on Palace, break the bank! Maybe we could offer a swop with the dynamic Mateta?!

Honestly, I'd prefer a half decent Championship striker to one from the French league.

My personal opinion is that he's probably better than what we have. However - absolutely no way 35 mil in my opinion. Look at Scamacca - would have thought he'd be great. He hasn't been. And I don't need to mention Edouard, Mateta or one season Benteke. No more than Edouard is my personal belief on how much we should pay. He hasn't proved anything more than that.

35 million for an unproven striker in the Premiership is insane.

It is for a club with our level of resources - clubs such as Chelsea, Citeh etc wouldn't blink twice.

I would be astonished if we paid £35 Mill for Balogun.

I recall him signing for Middlesbrough on loan from Arsenal, when Chris Wilder was manager, and his goal record was far from impressive.
Some Middlesbrough supporters commented about his lack of physicality, needed more strength and on occasions was too weak and too easily dispossessed.

Messi is unproven in the Premier League. Are you saying you wouldn't want him because he is unproven? Just saying

He'd be a step up in any case. With only one striker left, with Edouard, we arguably need two to come in. I don't think academy strikers like Street are up to it. And Omalabu has been released

Leeds could accept an offer for Patrick Bamford.
I suspect any purchase of Bamford will lead to wailing and lamentation by our supporters !
