I hope Johnstone stays and Edouard or we will need some cover for Mateta.
Looks like the lad from Real Betis is coming, Riyad, There is a lot of noise about Guehi going which would be disappointing. Surely if we upped his salary to compare pro rata with our top players then maybe he could see the opportunity of staying. I really hope so.
If he played in the position he did against Villa then we really have got some very exciting stuff ahead.

I doubt Guehi can be persuaded to stay. It appears he refused to extend his contract and one can only assume that the question of an increase in wages was discussed but didn't sway him.

I suspect that our buying in this coming window will be partly funded by what we get for Guehi when he goes.

We should not forget that he was injured for the whole of Glasner's tenure apart from the last game so, in one sense, we haven't actually missed him and can replace him with a younger and cheaper player (who may be Riad unless he is coming as a squad player - I suspect Riad will be a starter - especially if Clyne doesn't re-sign).

Hendersen is not going to leave, which means Johnstone will, he wants to start, Edouard will have a year on his contract before he leaves on a free, so give him a free and save 5m wages, as i have said, i see Franca as a Number 9, we also have Zach Marsh, if needed loan in a forward for a season.

That we had, as a team, the most players in the England Squad must signal to the Players what you can achieve by playing regularly and in the position that suits you, and highlights that Grealish, Sterling, Maddison, etc have not, i do not expect Eze, Olise, Wharton, etc to stay at Palace for their entire career, but don't rush, time is on their side and make sure if and when you do leave think carefully where you go.

Indeed, I'm sure a few out there will take note.

ITs a relatively short career, and you need to spend of much of it playing as possible. Especially in the early years

I think Eze would be mad to leave Palace for another English Team, Wait for PSG, Real Madrid or Barcelona, if he is good enough, The leagues are not as competitive and has more chance playing in his preferred position, i think Wharton could play for any team in any league and look class, with 5 years left on his contract, any presumably no-release clause he could beat Coutinho's 135m, 3rd in the all-time transfer list.
