Of the clubs rumoured to be interested Palace were the ones who still had room within their transfer cycle to make a bid.

Best mid fielder he played with Mark Atkins.

Very much depends upon who escapes the summer cull but if it is as bad as some of us fear the lack of anyone of any merit coming to mind to answer the question suggests we could very well be plumbing new depths in twelve months time.
