Solanke and Mateta the Frank dream of two big men up top.
based on??
Did he have Mbuemo, Toney and Wissa at Brentford?
This isn't a post advocating for Frank, just facts.
He had what he was given at Brentford. So far under Frank we have played Nunoball so it’s easy to see why we would be linked with Mateta.
I thought Guessand was meant to be talented, hence our interest - but honestly forgot he existed until I saw this
Johnson has his haters, but also a very particular set of skills...
Strand Larson for Mateta? I dont know if thats an upgrade or side step....
Either way though, Palace have just got themselves a new front 3 in Jan to try and rescue their season, so Ill respect that
I dont watch French football really, had it in my head he was like a wing forward sort of playerI think Guessand is more of a midfielder. Saw him come on for McGinn when he went off against Everton.

Does an injury to a right back really have any impact on the availability of a left back? I think that's just a Spurs thing...

Solanke and Mateta the Frank dream of two big men up top.
I have high hopes this one is bullshit
I also have a terrible fear our end of window will be Mateta and Robertson, and just after it closes Sterling on a free![]()
Mateta and Sterling no thanks - would be amazed if either rumour is true tbh, they can't be that stupid.

We already have better or par in Dane Scarlett. If you gave him 90 mins in Palace's team every week, he would have ten goals. Honestly, if you feel the need to bring in Mateta then just fucking sell Scarlett.
