Palace keen on gunnarsson

Wed Jan 15, 2014 11:57 am

Cardiff City midfielder and Iceland national team captain Aron Einar Gunnarsson is a target for Crystal Palace.
Gunnarsson, who joined from Coventry City in 2011, has had limited opporunities of late.
This was compounded by the recent arrival of Magnus Wolff Eikrem from Heerenveen, who Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to use as his first-choice.

Palace boss Tony Pulis is understood to be preparing a bid in the region of £4 million for Gunnarsson.
"He's a Pulis-type player," a source told SportsDirect News. "Hard-working and tough-tackling, if limited in terms of technique. But he does a lot of running and is not afraid to hit it long."
Cardiff and Palace are both in the relegation zone, with the former third bottom and the latter propping up the Premier League table.

Take the £4m and reinvest it into the purchase of Finnbogason, who is valued by Transfermarkt at £5.7m. We won't get him at that price, but maybe £8m will do it and we already have more options in midfield and need a good striker.

If it's true id snap there hand off for 4 million .

I like Gunnarsson I think he's a fantastic player and gives 100% but he's just not quite premiership quality . High end championship definately but I think he's one of those players who has found his level and its yo-yoing between the two leagues , if we want to stay up we need better and 4 million can Get you a very good premiership squad player . Especially when you see someone like huddlestone going for only 5 mill

Push them to £5m then invest in a quality striker :ayatollah:

Whilst I like gunnarson for his tenacity and work rate,I feel he is not quite prem quality,agree push for 5m and re-invest it in a winger or a striker.

He is 24, Icelands captain.

Plus he is about 50 times better than Whittingham.

Sell Whittingham for 5 million pound. Literally give someone 5 million pound to take.

Then start Gunnarsson and Cornelius and watch us shoot up the table.

Lucky to get a quarter of that.
He is championship quality.
Like most of City's squad.

I'd take 1.5m at this rate, we'd actually get profit on him, please be true :ayatollah:

We should sell right away for £4 million! I love gunnar but he is a championship player, also his main attribute (Long Throws) has been taken from him meaning he brings nothing to the side these days!

Re: Palace keen on gunnarsson

I take him there myself if we get £4m

I love Gunnarsson but they can have him for £4m.

Re: Palace keen on gunnarsson

I'll drive him there myself, not mobile enough to play in the premier on a regular basis. Always gives his all but we need a lot better. Do you recon they'd take Malky's favourite boy as well?

Re: Palace keen on gunnarsson

Wed Jan 15, 2014 8:21 pm

Funk for 4 mil. We can get that bethangrampy or whatever name is to drive him there!,

4 million, happily take that. If this news gets around then wouldn't be surprised if West Ham don't go for him and you know if their seriously interested, they will offer as good as Palace and more.
