Neil Warnock is being linked with our very own Chris Iwelumo and, wait for it, our former Super Kevin Lisbie. Strange these rumours, as they don't seem short up front with Morrison and Scowcroft, although a Lisbie and Iwelumo combo would give them a second little n large pairing and they have decent support from midfield in Kuqi, Moses, Scannell and Sinclair (if he's re-signed).
Kevin Lisbie just wasn't good enough for us all those years we had him and you have to be content with that we let him go for the right reasons. The fact that he's done well this season in a poor Colchester side is the way it goes and, I for one, wouldn't want to see him back, so I have to smile if Palace waste any money on him. Big Chris looked like a journeyman when he arrived and that's pretty much what he's turned out to be. No shame in that and , for me, he's done enough to earn his corn. I can't see him spear-heading any goalscoring charts, and whilst you get a lot more game from him, I could tolerate him moving on if we get a reasonable fee (close to what we paid at least). It might also alleviate the striking selection headache for Pards, although we might lack height or limit our ability to chnage the game plan.
On a more positive note, we are being linked with a loan move for Hameur Bouazza, the former Watford flash-in-the-pan. I would be more than pleased to see him have a go at the Valley, especially if we could recoup millions by finally allowing Jermaine Thomas to take his rightful place amongst the world's footballing elite (or flog him for whatever we can get - maybe Neil warnock would take him off our hands?).

As Iwelumo was a free agent when he signed for us last May, any money we can get for him will be all profit. That shouldn't mean that we let him go cheap though, especially to someone so close to our hearts as Mr Warnock!
