Crystal Palace manager Alan Smith is set to go back to his former club to snap up two unwanted players from Fulham.

Experienced midfielder Paul Trollope and veteran full back Terry Phelan are both out of favour at Craven Cottage and look poised to arrive at Selhurst Park in the near future.

Crystal Palace are on the verge of signing Arsenal midfielder Paolo Vernazza.

The talented midfield man is on a week-to-week contract at Highbury and has refused to sign a new long-term deal.

Palace manager Alan Smith is poised to swoop for the 20-year-old who has previously been on loan with Ipswich Town.


Palace after Le Tiss?

Monday, September 11, 2000

Crystal Palace are chasing not one Saints player but two.
Palace are newly enriched by a takeover and are still interested in signing James Beattie. Their latest offer is for £3m and Saints are still not keen to do business.

Reports that 22 year old Beattie has spoken to Palace are wrong. Beattie says he has not spoken to Palace and does not want to leave the Dell ,least of all for the first division.

Palace say they remain interested in the player but whether or not they improve their offer Saints will discover in the next few days.

Weekened reports also indicate that Palace are interested in Matthew Le Tissier.

They have not made an offer and it would need to be a big one to tempt Saints into parting.

Glenn Hoddle has gone on record to say how Le Tissier is still his one player of top quality. All he needs is to regain his fitness.

Trollope?!!!

Who can remember him coming on loan to us for a month from Derby a few years back?

If memory serves he was decidedly average then but spent most of his loan period on the bench anyway!

Surely we can do better than that?

How can Cockerill and Smith be hopeful of still getting Beattie (on another thread somewhere) if he is so happy at the Dell? Mind you,it is Teamtalk!!!

One of Trollope's appearances for Palace was at Barnsley, as sub I think. From what I remember he had a solid game on the day. Moved around the centre of the park, picking up the pieces and distributing the ball intelligently with short passes. Hardly Gazza at his prime but not bad. Not sure you can judge him on half a game but ?
