Crystal Palace have been looking at Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan this summer, according to Football League World.
And, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to the links on social media.
Bannan spent two years at Selhurst Park before leaving for Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer in 2015.

The 31-year-old has gone on to make 262 appearances for The Owls, however, his Transfermarkt valuation has been on the decline over the last 18 months.
It seems as if Palace have been keeping a close eye on the Scot ahead of a potential return to the club.
The Eagles want a midfielder before the end of the window, and Football League World claim that Burnley and Watford have also been monitoring Bannan this summer.

Palace fans react
@CPFCtransfersHQ shared Football League World’s report on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
These Palace fans all seemed to be stunned at the links to the former midfielder, presumably due to Bannan now turning out in League One and seemingly on the decline.
“What year is it?”
