I'm not saying he'd be champing at the bit to go back there either, but was just pointing out that they are a realistic destination for him (amongst many other PL clubs), and that he did have some history with them.
If I was a betting man, I'd say he'll go back to West Ham.
Didn't he start his career there on loan, and score in loads of games on the trot?
Edit: it was 10 consecutive games that he scored in whilst there, equalling a post-war record.
I'd imagine we'd be interested in him, as would about a dozen other PL clubs (how good does it sound to put ourselves in that bracket!). Realistically, West Ham, Palace and Bournemouth are the most likely destinations for him.
