We were talking to Van Persie earlier in the window, maybe that's being revisited. Can't say I'd object!

Van Persie made his 2nd Feyenoord debut yesterday.

Newcastle in for him allegedly. Free up a move for Mitrovic?

Have Palace signed any strikers recently/in for anyone? Could it be..............?

Why do people think we are signing a megastar when Bruce has hinted that we are signing noone?

I think it's part what Gregg Evans is hinting at which could be utter BS, and part what Wyness came out and said in that Radio WM phone in about scouring the planet for talent and turning down RVP. It sets the mind racing in a number of different and probably unrealistic directions. As for Bruce, he's probably not going to give much away but he always ends with "you never know..." to keep mystery and intrigue in play.

Scouring the planet for talent and unearthing the hidden gem that is Robin Van @ 34 years of age.

Reminds me of Graham Taylor looking at the Tottingham away match programme and seeing Oyvind Leonardson's name.  Is he still playing?  Let's sign him.

Yes I did chuckle when he said that. I suppose the point he was trying to make was it wasn't just domestic options they were considering. But it's encouraging in some ways to think we are scouting further afield ahead of hopefully a return to the PL. Something Wyness/Round had suggested we needed to do better when they first came in.

That’s if he manages to get through his medical without picking up an injury.

Perfect. So they're signing him for 5 games. Not consecutive

Sturridge will end up at Villa at some point.

Just hope it's not a Lescott scenario.

Is he signing on loan or permanently? Don't fancy playing Albion with him there if we go up/they go down. The bastard is only ever fit against us and always scores whenever we meet.

It’s a loan deal.

All they need now is Luis Suarez and Sturrridge might score a few goals.
