It's from an extremely unreliable source but I hope it's true because it would suggest that he is doing well in his battle against cancer:

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway is wanting to add three more players to his squad before the end of the month.
One of those is a winger. FC Porto player Christian Atsu Twasam is close to signing a loan deal of which will be made permanent at the end of the season if they win promotion to the Premier League.
Holloway is keen on adding two strikers as well.
Young Australian striker Dylan Tombides looks to be joining on loan until the end of the season from West Ham.
Finally, Hungary international striker Marko Futacs will sign for a nominal fee. The former Portsmouth forward isn't happy with the amount of football he's getting at Leicester.

If he can cut it in the championship then perhaps our long wait for a good number 9 is over

Exactly right, if he is loaned that means he is winning the cancer battle. Let's hope so...

he's on oral chemo i believe, means he can train and play whilst having treatment but probably still has a few days of feeling like absolute balls a month

would be a great loan, Palace have really impressed the past few seasons. Zaha out to Man U as well which frees up an attacking postion and some money.

Putting aside the fact this is from football-rumours and probably for a moment, why the hell would they want/need him? Obviously he'd never get ahead of Murray in the pecking order, and they've just loaned in Nimely a few days ago, then you've got Easter and Wilbraham too. He'd never get a game.

And :lol: #-o at the first rumour.

:lol: The last couple of seasons for Palace have been balls. They've recovered excellently however following their 11th hour saving when it looked like the club were going to fold.

Palace would be an excellent choice for Dylan.

It's probably stupid, but I find myself feeling guilty about thinking of him in terms of his football career and what he can bring to the NT. Which is ridiculous because it's probably what is helping him push himself at a difficult time, but I just hope the kid recovers.

If the rumours about Zaha to United are true, then it seems likely he'll be immediately loaned back to help Palace get promoted.

Anyone got a more reliable source

This rumour is 100% not true

How unfortunate......do you know if a loan move or anything is on the card VoR

Not according to what I've heard

is he doing ok with the reserves? is he healthy?

Your quite an all knowing man VoR can we expect any loans for youngsters on the horizon?

and last question whats the deal with ruku is he goign to get out of Mainz and get some gametime?

Don't care if it's true or not, but i took him on loan on FIFA and the kid comes off the bench and wins every game for me :D

He's still undergoing chemo so plays sporadically but he could be a chance for Turkey for the YWC.

A few youngsters in England are seeking loan moves but there's nothing concrete at the moment. One kid has been told by his club they don't want him to go on loan. Not sure if that means he might get a first team shot for this EPL team or not.

It's unlikely that Ruka will leave this January. Niggling injuries have hampered him this season.

....well are you giving us a name?

Um no :) Sorry, I can only say what I'm allowed to say.

My guess is Ryan Williams

By far the most likely candidate.
