Jørgen Strand Larsen

If I had to guess as the Palace strategy on this, right now I would say that we have secured immediate reinforcements for the front line in the shape of Guessand, and lined up a replacement for Mateta in the form of Larsen. All that awaits to be seen right now is whether someone offers us what we want for Mateta before the window closes, and in time for the Larsen deal to be completed. If not, Mateta stays put until the summer, and for very good reason.

Of course, someone might gazump us for either Guessand or Larsen, or one or other may fail a medical, or the manager might not pick them if they do sign, or they might be a disappointment, or fall down the stairs, or whatever. These things are true of most signings most of the time. To me, it looks like Palace at least have a contingent strategy regarding the No9 position.

Strategy? That implies long term thinking and a plan.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

Has he signed yet?

He's already been unsettled and left.

 

[Eagleman13]

Is in Wolves squad for tomorrow

Wow, that must have been a longer nap than i thought

Loyalty bonus in pocket.

Funny that: how other teams just play players who might leave, or not.

Our experience with expensive strikers are not that good. Marco G., Aki A. to mention two. 50 mill. for a Norwegian that is not even in the Wolves starting line-up.

Could he be worse than Johnson?

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Okay, I’ll be the first one to say it…….ive just seen him in Sainsbury’s……..with Kevin Nugent

I think I’d prefer Kevin Nugent this point. I predict he will come on for Wolves at the weekend and suffer an unfortunate long term injury

That sort of comment will do wonders for Brennan's confidence. You're not related to Roy are you?
Give the lad a chance ffs

Unlike Larsen, Nugent DID know where the goal was 👍🤣

 

[MancunianEagle]

My gut feeling is he is not that good and we should walk away. There are got to be better strikers around - Haji Wright springs to mind if Coventry were not to get promoted this season as well the clubs in the Europa league and players who did well at the AFCON.

Absolutely no way he runs way too hot and cold. Hes very divisive in the coventry fanbase for a reason

You could tell early that Nketiah wasnt going to work out. The same applies here.

We could also "tell" with Mateta.

 

[Eagleman13]

Now Sky are saying this is back on, jeez.

 

[Eagle Black.]

Sky reporting talks are still ongoing! We seem desperate to spend a chunk on this lad 😕

Newcastle had four bids turned down for him last year.
So can't be that shabby.

 

[est1905]

I keep wondering why we are willing to pay this kind of money for JSL but I'm told he is seen as a perfect fit for Palace's system and has aspects of his game that are better than Mateta. Despite the only 1 goal this season everyone that knows this lads game tells me he is a way better and more clinical finisher for a start!

That as has been commented on elsewhere was a completely different market and as a result of the Isak issue
