Ornstein has said we're going for Mateta and Palace want Guessand.

Praise the Lord.

Apparently he doesn't report on anything unless there is smoke...

As long as it isn't a sex-wee, what with your ball-tingling antics at Baros' old aparment/Unai's current place at the Mailbox.

Would be an improvement on Gyokeres.

Agreed.

I'm a bit surprised because he regularly goes on long runs of barely scoring, 4 in 19 in the first half of last season, 2 in 19 the first half of the season before and 5 in 22 in total in his first season there. Given your criticism of Watkins I don't see how he'd be any different.

Personally I think he'd be ok but I'm not convinced he'd be a good fit for us and how streaky he is suggests he very much a confidence player which would mean if he was struggling to settle into our style we'd probably see the non-scoring version much more than Palace have.

I worry he'd be a really poor use of the money. I'm not a huge fan of Abraham either but he'd be a much better choice.

Mateta with Guessard as part of the deal sounds too good to turn down

Never been a fan of spending big on milk bottle players, which Tammy and Mateta are. Even less so when finances are stricter than ever.

He's been instrumental in Palaces recent domination over us in the past couple of seasons. On that basis alone he'd be worth a few extra points.

I'm happy to drive Guessand to London.
