[Albion] Crystal Palace planning double raid on rivals Brighton (Merged Thread)

[Icy Gull]

Crystal Palace are eyeing moves for Kazenga LuaLua and Ashley Barnes from their arch rivals Brighton.

Desperate Ian Holloway watched a loan move for Darren Bent fall by the wayside this week and the Palace boss has had to look elsewhere for forwards.

And he could be set to raid the south coast for striker Barnes and winger Lua Lua.

Palace hit the jackpot when they nabbed Glenn Murray from Brighton on a free transfer two years ago, but the Eagles' 31-goal top-scorer is set to miss most of this season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

That, along with Wilfried Zaha's move to Manchester United, has added to Holloway's striker shortage and Palace could now turn to Brighton once again.

Well they got one bit right in that piece

KLL can go as he has an appalling attitude in my view and amazingly inconsistent as well.

What attitude is this? Or are you basing this on his twitter comments?

Double Palace Raid

Talksport rumour of Palace lining up KLL and Barnes .... pretty much doubt IMHO

Apparently they are after Sully and Peter Sayer...

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I'd take any good money for KLL tbh. He may be a game changer on his day but he is far too inconsistent IMO. And any money we get for him we can look for someone better. I wouldn't sell Barnes though. But that's just me...

It's not just you. I fully concur.

The rivalry that everybodies talking about. (again)

Palace paid over 6m for gayle who had one season in championship and Barnes has proven to be a goal scorer in championship two years running and he is still only young so would cost them a fair wack

Solely on watching him on Monday nights when in the development squad, right Billy Big Boy who needs to knuckle down

ROFL, ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I like both players, but when I saw the headline, it just had to be Bridcutt and either Buckley or Ulloa. None of the three?!

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Do KLL and Barnes have contracts expiring in the next year? If so these "rumours" are probably to do with contract negotiations. Wasn't Greer linked with "Leeds" and then signed a new contract...hmmmm

 

[jameswestport]

neither are good enough for the prem

this all day

 

[Icy Gull]

Why don't Palace sign Defoe??

 

[Albion Dan]

If its a decent offer id happily see both of them sold.

 

[portslade seagull]

Think 10M should just about cover there loss

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Think 10M should just about cover there loss

Indeed, and as we keep being told they have 160 million now, then why not assist them to share it around? 10 million sounds fair

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The problem is all clubs have realised how desperate Wurzel is to bring in players and can ask ridiculous prices if an enquiry is made.

They have signed 8 players for 11 million, thats not that bad!

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I've just seen a tweet from a SSN correspondent saying Celtic are keeping an eye on Barnes.

 

[TheMajor]

Lets face it - with the money they've been given they could afford to buy ALL of our current squad.

Which wouldn't be a bad idea as it would certainly finish above that pile of shite that they have amassed at current.

As it did last season, oh you mean the current pile of shite......
