Crystal Palace are poised to miss out on Cardiff duo Steven Caulker and Fraizer Campbell.

Crystal Palace appear to have lost out to QPR in chase for defender Steven Caulker.

The pair were not on the plane when Cardiff left for their pre-season tour to Austria on Thursday.

QPR and Crystal Palace are also interested in Southampton midfielder Jack Cork.

Target: Leicester are closing in on the capture of striker Fraizer Campbell.

Southampton are holding out on offering Cork a new deal as new manager Ronald Koeman runs the rule over him and defender Jose Fonte, who is also moving into the last year of his current deal.

Crystal Palace have yet to make a summer signing despite have a bid accepted by Tottenham for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

At least one is out the door or more or less, but Campbell needs to make his mind up

The two are more than likely to leave if we're being honest, who to I couldnt really care.

Does anyone else think Leicester are going to struggle ? The signings they are making and also the confidence they are putting in the players they already have like Drinkwater and Andy King isn't the best approach to take. Im not saying splash the cash but I cant see many of there players making the step up.

They are lacking a Premier League striker. Burnley I think have signed Jutkiewicz and Sordell as maybe targetman, plus Ings is already there and he's guaranteed goals whatever division he's in. If I was Leicester, I'd push the boat out for Bendtner

:lol: :lol: I hope for your own sake you are taking the piss. Burnleys signings have been pretty shocking, I know they havent really got the pull power to bring in top players but f**k me Sordell and Jutkiewicz have done sweet F.A to prove they've got what it takes in the Premier League.

Bendtner isn't as bad as people make out, I swear he got a loan move to Juventus as well. Done well for Sunderland too, he's just one of those PL players. Approach we should have taken

Burnley should sign Kenwyn Jones. Ole should drive him up there.
