We can get him on a free in the summer.

I think we will offer him a 1 year contract at the end of the year and he will take it... And don't call me Shirley

I also thought he had another year to go after this one

Which means they would want £3m + for him in the summer and somebody will pay that, just hope it is us.

He could dig his heels in and refuse to go anywhere except to us or in the stiffs at Bournemouth, which I think he might just do if a deal to bring him here (if we want him) can't be arranged.

You'd think he realised that before he signed for them

Serious question is he good enough for the Premiership , sure he is quality in this league and worth a contract in this division....
But the Premiership I am not so sure, if we want to push on then he would be back up at best surely...
We would be looking for a step up in quality and drop down in age as a main striker surely.
I think he is a legend having said that.

If we get promoted £3m is just loose change, but if we don't get promoted we will still need to spend at least that on another striker to replace him.

I think you're right, I don't think he is very good at Rugby...
He'll be about to turn 34. Palace and Bournemouth have decided he wasn't good enough for them in the PL, when he was younger, so I don't see why we'll be that keen on him if we get promoted.
Championship sides will want him, but £3m is a bit much for a player that's at the end of his career. Clubs spending big on the likes of McCormack and Rhodes have at least got their money back.

I think at 34 he'd be worth a 1 year contract as back up striker, we'd still need to invest big in 1-2 names ahead of him, but he's a canny, intelligent player who'd be worth bringing on for 20-30 mins in a tight game.
