I don't blame Eddie for not going to Forest - they're badly run, odds are they'll be in or around the relegation zone and his contract will no doubt have a relegation clause. Nketiah doesn't want to be 26 and playing in the Championship on a fraction of the wages.

At least Palace should be relatively loaded right now.

Window shuts on Friday to be fair so not a lot of time left thank god.

I really do hope we can bring an attacker in regardless of whether Eddie stays or goes.

The departures of ESR and Vieira have opened up space and it doesn't seem like we can rely on Jesus.

HomeSteak That was fast

They probably had contact with Eddie and offered him a better deal than Forrest before he pulled out of that one. And who's going to pick Forrest over Palace at the moment anyway.

    Just praying some club takes Nketiah for decent money and we get Trossard level quality from a surprise forward signing. It should still be on the cards ...

    Anyone who's followed his progress has gotta be fond of Nketiah as a human being, but if Smith Rowe's not good enough for us, Eddie's certainly not a player to rely on as we try to scrape a title again. If experience is a guide he'll rarely play.

    Bring us some good news Edu.

      HomeSteak which probably explains why Eddie told Forest to chill. I would’ve done the same faced with these two options. He’s a mid career player. This is his big move. He can’t fuck this up by going to an also-ran. Palace are exciting

          Claudius

          I’m not sure Palace are exciting - they’ve shown little ambition this summer. But they’re not as dysfunctional as Forest, and they’re in London.

            He would be sitting on the bench behind Mateta I think. But Glasner is a good manager, hope he can develop his game and be a decent PL striker

              Clrnc yeah, although I don't expect Mateta will be at Palace beyond this season. Nketiah could be shrewd insurance policy

                Panda Thank fuck if it pans out. This has been driving me crazy all day. 😆

                I'll give Edu ample credit if this one actually takes place.

                  Mateta is very average. Eddie should fancy himself.

                    goon 19 goals last year, can hold up play and extremely strong in the box.

                    Funny thing is Forest is getting a better striker in Santiago Gimenez now.

                        decent fee for eddie. he isnt arsenal starting forward quality, but he can have a long career in the league for mid table sides. best of luck to him.

                        Clrnc goon 19 goals last year, can hold up play and extremely strong in the box.

                        aside from that purple patch last year, Nketiah's goal record against him is fairly similar.

                          Clrnc we should gazump them for Gimenez , better than Eddie for a similar fee

                            We are well past the level of Gimenez IMO. I actually think he's worse than Eddie and will get exposed in the EPL.

                              samthegooner he said no to Nottingham

                              Polish press saying Kiwior is staying.

                              English press:

                              uhu. Eddie gone, ESR gone, VIeira gone and Jesus not a real football player anymore. No doubt we buy 2 attackers, right? We needed 1 even if all of them stayed lol. Now we need 2, 100%.

                                goon Mateta would be thinking the exact same thing.

                                So long Edward Keddar Nketiah. Wish it had panned out differently, but it's what it is.
