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.

Would take anything around £1m of your cash for KLL. Easily replaceable, bit part inconsistent player.

Barnes is a strange one, but I am not sure he'd go anyway.

Where the bit about "Brighton managed to con Palace out of a large fee for Dobbie" has that been removed as too embarrassing

Talk Sport stirring things up knowing it will get some attention. Feeble rumour mongery.

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.

I'm not convinced either are good enough for the championship, let alone the Prem. Id be very disappointed if there was any truth in this. But as its from Talksport Im not too concerned.

they're both good enough for the championship...possibly not good enough to be regular starters in a team going for promotion but would get into most sides in this league I'd imagine

Other way round for me KLL is a one trick pony where as Barnes has more to offer. i'd be happy if we offloaded KLL and in fact i'd be surprised if he was here on the 3rd of Sept.

Has Lua Lua been anything like the player he was before he broke his leg? I know he tore up League One, but doesn't seem to have a similar impact in the Championship.

They would be better off not spending their money on players and using their windfall on the stadium. Out of (vague) interest, have they said how much they are prepared to give Wurzel to try (in vain) to keep them up?

But if they are that desperate, 10m should cover it.

I think they're both young enough to realise the long term picture is better than 9 months in a losing side

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...

Interesting they don't want Ulloa. Are Barnes and KLL on some sort of 'available' list
