IMO I’d be looking to let Luka and Jairo go now, and it’s possible McArthur will be released next season. Without those 3, only Hughes is a recognised traditional centre mid. So I’m saying this summer, two out and two in. If Kouyate goes, we need another back up player…so that would make it 3 out 3 in. Luka, Jairo and Jimmy Mac are on a combined £180k to £200k a week!! We have a limited budget so IMHO i would focus efforts on other areas of the squad

Its another example of other clubs being able to conclude business quickly and efficiently. Palace seem to procrastinate, bargain and "sleep on it", in the mean time another club come and wrap up the business in 24 hours. No doubt it will happen again before the end of the window. Dougie can spot a player, no doubt about that, but the business end of the deals needs streamlining. Or maybe most players assume Crystal Palace can be outbid by most other teams, and they wait until a better offer arrives.

It was current Swansea manager Russell Martin who bought Downes for Swansea from Ipswich for £1.5 Mill rising to £2 Mill and W.Ham purchased him in a £12 Mill deal. He has a 'Fire' to his game collecting 12 yellows in season 2019-20 and last season collected 12 yellows and a red.

Looking forward to playing ten man West Ham - provided PV has cured our tendency to lose against ten men. He is certainly not a goalscoring midfielder, only scoring 1 goal in his last 72 games.

Palace shows an interest. Player ends up at West Ham. Heard that before? Doubt West Ham has a scouting set up. It waits for Palace to identify talent and then outbids Originally posted by CT Charlie
