Straight From The Beak

Our weekly look at stories in the media involving Palace with our own take on each. A large pinch of salt should be taken with some of them and none are of our own making.


 

2015/16 Fixtures

This week saw the Premier League fixtures for next season released and Palace start with an away trip to newly promoted Norwich City. Other notable mentions – Southampton away last day of the season, Bournemouth away on Boxing Day and no New Years Day game. You can see the full list in our article earlier in the week here.

Loic Remy

Chelsea have revealed that their asking price for the French striker will start at £15 million which could price Palace out of the market. Remy began his career at Lyon and had a loan spell at Lens before moving on to Nice and Marseille. The 28 year old joined Queens Park Rangers in 2013 and spent a season on loan at Newcastle before joining Chelsea. (Source – Croydon Advertiser)

The 28 year old striker has been linked with a move to Selhurst Park even though he has said he is happy to see out his three year contract at Leicester City.

Yohan Cabaye

Talk has died down a little after being linked with the French midfielder a couple of weeks ago. However, Palace are still tracking the former Newcastle player as is new Toon manager Steve McLaren. Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed an interest. (Source – Metro)

Curtis Davies

The Hull City centre back has attracted interest from Palace along with Leicester City. An offer in the region of £3 million could be enough to see the defender return to the Premier League with either club. Davies began his career as a youth player at Wimbledon and then Luton Town where he secured his first professional contract. He went on to play for West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa, Leicester City and Birmingham City. (Source – Footballpools)

Ryan Inniss

The young defender had a spell at Port Vale last season before returned to Palace due to injury but he impressed enough in his time there as they are looking to secure him on a long term loan deal. (Source – Stoke Sentinal)
