Loan to buy

I think this is crucial this year, if we cant get a couple of expensive players, maybe Nketiah and Hudson odoi for instance, our main players could stay all season and if they perform well, then we can sell one to finance the signings. “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Things being crucial matter little to us. Like the year we had no left back, or when we had one striker - who was injured. We still didn't loan anyone in. Red and Blue Army!

I doubt our finances stretch to buying expensive players, hence why I think we seem to be playing hardball re the amount we want to receive if either Guehi or Andersen are to leave AND (and I know you don't want this) why the club have been so keen to keep Wilf. However, if we can get at least 10-12m from Genoa for Mateta AND if Zaha walks away, we'll have 20m plus towards a striker and I would hope and indeed expect the owners to fork out the rest needed to buy one. Whether this happens or not I think you are right - we should go for a loan with an option to buy - perhaps even accepting an obligation to buy if the player starts a certain number of games. Someone like Nketiah might go for that on the basis that he would expect to be given a run of starts to show what he can do.

I agree, you get to try before you buy, if the fee is agreed and an option, by the start of 2024/25 Guehi could be worth 120m “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

That's a good idea. Like we did with JP Mateta. THAT went well!! Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I think Palace also need to bring some players to the first team. Adaramola is a good player can challenge Mitchell for LB spot. Ozoh is another good prospect could be better than Hughes and Riedewald. And maybe Rak Sakyi (Zaha most likely leaving) and someone who can play full back like Rodney RB has never been replaced since AWB left. We always hear how good the academy is we need to see more players come through for teams like Palace who do not spend big the academy is crucial.
