Now come on Syd, i didnt say "lets buy Neal Maupay" it was just a suggestion, in my opinion striker and right back are essential, and a replacement for Wilf, we are not going to get brilliance but we need better, although i wouldn't be delighted to see Maupay sign he is better than Edouard and Mateta, and i would like to see the back of both.

One I think might be interesting is Aaronson from Leeds. He hasn't really pulled up trees this season (at Leeds, who has?) but at his best, he's shown some proper ability and he's only 22 so plenty of time to develop. Furthermore, as, at worst, a sort of pound-shop Conor Gallager (and at best, potentially a good player) he fills a position where we need help; we're in urgent need of a box-to-box midfielder with an engine and an attacking aspect to his game. If he could be picked up for a reasonable sum, I'd take a look.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

-Maupay = 1 goal in 1191 minutes of football (25 shots) also 1 assist

-Edouard = 6 goals in 1722 minutes (27 shots) also 2 assists

-Mateta = 2 goals in 900 minutes (20 shots) no assists

I know our two don't exactly inspire confidence but they're world class in comparison to that weasel Maupay. Brighton were prepared to take a loss just to offload him and Everton were stupid (or desperate) enough to bite. (Yes I know he scored that last minute goal against us last season but only because we gifted it to him.

from this list only Walker-Peters and Alcaraz might get in our 1st teams.
Players like Maitland-Niles and Davies have been poor for a few years now and i would avoid.
Luke Thomas looks a good prospect but i think has had a few injuries. He's a possible.

Can someone please post a list of all the players we have bought in the years we have been up from relegated teams.

Not many I guess. The best players are hunted by those with deeper wallets and the rubbish got them down.

Our business model would be more like trying to dig out gems from their U21 sides.

Absolutely not!
