I'd be amazed if Palace let Mateta go this month after selling Guehi. Their fans would be in uproar.

And we care because?

I don’t really think Mateta is all that, but if it got rid of Guessand as well…

His conversion rate this season has been virtually the same as Ollie's and was only .7% better last season.

Feels like vapors, but man alive that announcement would be a real tonic. Think he's a brilliant forward and if I had to pick one from the league outside of the obvious, it'd be him.

At the weekend Glasner said he was for sale.

It’s like some sort of fire sale over there. Wharton next?

Would be quite the Bouba replacement...

You ain’t seen nothing yet if that deal happens. Not too long ago that had Olise and Eze as their main attacking threat….then Guessand turns up!!

Mateta - a decent player - would force us to change the way we play totally. He's not mobile, just a big strong target man. I just can't see it.

Wharton on the other hand would be a great signing.

I'd be amazed if Mateta chose to leave Palace now, with a starting spot in the French World Cup team up for grabs and then only a year left on his deal.

You'd imagine he'd have much more attractive options at that point, than fighting Watkins for minutes with us.

He has been a one in three man his entire career. If he came here and replicated that we’d all be happy. My only reservation is his age. No resale value.

Do you know what, I'm not even interested in that, I'm here for the way nobody gets the ball off the big bastard. It's the coughing up the ball under no pressure, leaving us open to the counter that pisses me off more than any missed chances.

Yeah I can’t really see how it makes sense to him.

Mateta strongly linked with Juventus - and Man City after after Wharton.

Which big club can he go to where he won’t have competition for his place?  It’s what happens when you join the elite.

Palace were reported as being interested in Guessand, then deciding against it as they thought he was overpriced and unsuited to the PL. He's made them look pretty silly hasn't he.

I'm not seeing this at all.
