Crystal Palace are to lodge an improved bid of around £4.5m for Neil Taylor at Swansea City, with the Welsh club having lined up Norwich’s Martin Olsson as a potential replacement.
Palace have targeted the signing of a left-back this month having utilised Joel Ward and Martin Kelly — both natural right-backs — in the role to date this term. The London club signed Zeki Fryers from Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day in September in the hope he might make the position his own, but he has failed to impress and has since been loaned to Rotherham United in the Championship.
An initial offer for Taylor of around £3m was rejected last week, but Palace’s hopes of securing a deal for the 25-year-old, who is contracted through to 2016 at the Liberty stadium, appear to have been bolstered by Swansea’s subsequent move for Olsson. Norwich are considering their £4m offer for the Sweden international, lodged over the weekend, with the former Blackburn Rovers defender keen to return to the topflight.
Palace retain an interest in Swansea’s France forward, Bafétimbi Gomis, who indicated on Sunday that he could still pursue a move away from Wales despite appearing to be Garry Monk’s first-choice striker following Wilfried Bony’s sale to Manchester City. The 29-year-old, a free transfer arrival from Lyon last summer, suggested he felt let down to have played second fiddle to Bony since arriving in the Premier League, despite starting the team’s last four games and with Ivorian now departed for the champions.
“When Bony was here, it was planned I should play a certain number of games, that wasn’t the case,” said Gomis in an interview conducted by Canal Plus on Sunday. “Today, I ask myself many questions. I need time to think. I have been approached by clubs. I don’t know what will happen. Me leaving? It is possible.
“It is planned that my entourage will meet with Swansea’s representatives. Then I will have a discussion with my representatives to find the best solution. I want to stay abroad. It is true that I have had not a bad amount of approaches from clubs. I have the ambition to play a certain number of matches. I need time to reflect because what was said was not respected. At my age, it is difficult to spend my time sitting on the bench.” |  | | |  |

Not sure disrupting the team in the middle of a season is a good idea. |  | | |

Gomis can do one after those comments....history has shown our decision makers don't sit too well with stuff like this so I think his time has come.
As for Taylor, I'm 50/50 on him. For £4.5 mill he can go though as long as we do have a suitable replacement lined up. |  |

ideally i would like to give Taylor a new contract, only if he won't sign would i even entertain the idea of selling him |  |

Jamie Moralee trying to get him a new contract?
How many times does he try the same ploy. Why on earth would Neil Taylor want to sign for Palace? | | | |

Rumours are that we are in for Olsson of Norwich. Does anyone know anything about him? Better than Taylor? |  | | |

£10M for Gomis and swap Taylor for Dwight Gayle  |  |

Anything around £5m would be an excellent price for half a fullback. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Because he knows or suspects we aren't going to renew his contract? More money? First choice? | | | |

Chelski's LB looked half decent. I'd quite happily swap for him  . Olsson strikes me as another filler, a bit like Emnes. Ok but not going to take us to the next level. But I suppose we'll see. |  | | |

Bite their hand off for that money and while we're at it chuck in Dwight and Jazz as freebees, just to say thanks like. |  |

German Press reporting this morning that Schalke are interested in signing Olsson. No sense in getting into a bidding war to do Palace any favours. |  |
