I think it is a rumour , he was released by Palace today after a short term contract ended and has applied to work at The Amex on matchdays in one of the kiosks.
Welcome to the mad season, only this time we actually publicly announced that a) we're ready to splash some cash, and b) we are supposedly 'ahead of the curve', so every player who as much as winks at their agent will be linked to us whilst the great and the good on NSC try to separate the good from the bad
Probably a Hyypia and Burke target surely, it's clueless enough.. Hughton can't be that stupid, Johnson would be crucified by Albion fans if he didn't hit the ground running.
His knee is knackered.
His spell at Palace was him at his peak, and i put him up there with Wrighty as the best striker I've seen at the Palace.
Load of bull him coming to you lot, but in saying that, he'll be an improvement on what you've got
