I am grateful to Dave Shaw in London who spotted the following
article in today's SUNDAY PEOPLE.......

TEL PLANS SPLASH
****************

  Terry Venables is in talks with Israeli left back David Amsalem
  about becoming Crystal Palace's new left back. Venables will sell
  Dean Gordon and is keen to snap up Amsalem from champions Beiter
  Jerusalem in a 300,000 deal.

And Norman Paice in Stevenage tells us....

  The reports linking Palace with David Amsalem an Iraeli
  international full back originated from an article in THE JEWISH
  CHRONICLE. He had trials with West Ham last year and he is also
  being tracked by Dutch Premier side Alkmaar.

SALAKO RETURN ?
***************

The following article in today's NEWS OF THE WORLD suggests 
Palace are tracking an ex-Eagle.....

John Salako is considering a move from Bolton to second division 
Fulham.

Kevin Keegan has offered a three-year deal worth around 600,000, but 
faces competition from Spanish club Espanol and Crystal Palace for 
the out-of-contract, ex-England winger.

And finally........

CUP DRAW DELAYED
****************

The draw for the first round of the Coca-Cola Cup has been delayed
until next week. The draw was expected this week but the Football
League has decided to put it back until next week for reasons
unknown. 

For the first time the first round will be seeded and will feature
all First Division sides due to the number of Premiership sides
competing in Europe this season. The seeding system ensures that all
First Division clubs and the top 16 sides in the Second Division last
season will not meet each other in the opening round of the
competition.
