According to Sky Sports News HQ, Robson-Kanu has had interest from 4 Premier league clubs and China

Doubt he'll be able too play for China tbh.....

Forestieri I like the look of on the brief highlights I've seen, granted they could probably make even me look good by the amount of air time they give though....

Bannan? naaaaa....

Just can't see that one happening, especially as we have Grealish playing where he would be.

For the rigt price I think we could do worse than Robson-Kanu but it is a bit risky basing such a thing on a couple of good performances at an International Tourament.  Think there are other areas we need to focus on than up front anyway.  As a good, hard working pro who may get 8 or 10 goals a season he maybe worth a risk though.

Why is he magically going to turn from a player who gets three goals per season into a player who gets ten goals per season?

If we play him in the right position he might.  Whatever I think he might be worth a go, but see him as the sort of player who will offer different things than goals.

He strikes me as being the sort of player who will bust a gut for Wales but largely anonymous at club level. Because if he was that player at club level as he has shown these past couple of weeks he wouldn't be a free agent today. And he'd probably be playing for a PL side.

That could go either way. You might be right but it could also work out that whoever takes the gamble on him and plays him up front rather than out wide benefits. He seems like a Shane Long type to me. Never prolific but works his bollocks off and when you've got someone pressing from the front, it helps the rest of the team.

We've had a striker whose main attribute wasn't scoring go last but doing other stuff. He was shit but not as shit as Kanu.

If Palace have signed French keeper, how about going for Hennesey?
Decent keeper

I think Hennessey is an awful keeper.

Agreed. We can do better than him.

I thought Bannan was a much better player than people gave him credit for. I'm not sure i'd have him back for.

He's done well in the Championship, overall.
