Gabriel Obertan
The former Manchester United and Newcastle United forward might not be one of the first names on the lips of possible additions for the Palace supporters standing at the bar, but the Premier League strugglers could certainly do a lot worse.
The 27-year-old is available on a free transfer after being released by Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala but as he is able to play on either wing, in midfield or as a number 10, his versatility could appeal to Eagles boss Sam Allardyce – possibly more so than the Eagles fans that frequent the Tavern.
Obertan scored two English top flight goals in 72 appearances for the Red Devils and the Magpies previously, and would be a potential replacement for Andros Townsend, who has been linked with a loan return to Newcastle – the landlord isn’t sold on this one though.
