Palace have allegedly been working on the Benrahma deal for 6months.. and their preference is Benrahma with BOS the back up. If it is indeed going to take £25m.. I think we'll be seeing BOS though! So we'll get the deal done in a couple of season's time?

We need both to keep the others on their toes Zaha ect and for the future. We do have money to spend but SP will look at getting the best deals, I think we will spend out about another £30 million in this window. That's a big claim DC. Based on what? We fans usually look at our team and recognise the gaps and the need for a striker etc, but the club prefer not to make deals rather than fix an obvious problem. I appreciate your post came before the confirmation of Batman arriving, but surely another 30m in addition to a striker loan, Eze and Ferguson is a lot to expect. Although I don't think Wilf will ever lose his place in the first XI, I agree that he needs to be on his toes, although I disagree that we "have money to spend" - we have debt to increase.

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet. |

Edited by pstrutt (11 Sep 2020 9.15am) Well looks like Benrahma will get done with 10 million to spare for BOS and young CB, if we sell anyone most of the dosh will go I to the kitty for that Ipswich bloke

I think it will be all of them. The first 3 for first team. The Ipswich kid will be bought for just over £2 million and loaned back with a recall clause at Xmas. If he has done well we bring him back or loan to a championship Club. This will also allow us to loan Pierrick out possibly to QPR as part of BOS deal

I see that we are being linked with this guy again. He has a look of Yannick about him and is certainly lively. He would also meet the younger age requirement. I think we may have to pay more now than we would have in September but worth a punt. Particularly, if we may be offloading some "veterans" in January. Although I get a sense we thought we'd scrape by until Jan and get him even cheaper as he'll only have 6 months left on his contract. I was keen for us to get him in the summer and I'm still hoping we do. His friendship with Eze could be a bonus for us. A team with him Eze and Wilf would certainly give us a bit more going forwards. Hopefully it comes off.

Why buy a forward when we have Wickham already. I’m expecting both he and Sakho will be offered improved terms this summer. And Roy. They’ll all be here when they’re 50. Is Roy not in his 70’s?

I really can’t see us making any signings, whether they’re free or not. As Roy said, there’s a danger of piling up players. I think, considering the current financial frailties and economy as a whole, clubs will not be buying unnecessarily unless they can get rid of players. I can’t see any of our players leaving this window therefore can’t see at coming in. Hopefully with several of our underperforming big wage earners out of contract in June, it may free up some wiggle room for fresher younger talent to come to the club in Jan. With Sakho, Tekkers and CW , Meyer (?) hopefully being shown the door this summer, that’s got to free up iro 250k a week

Agreed. I think we will consider offers this window for any of those 4. I can’t see many takers though. They should all be shown the door in Yhe summer.

Fenerbahce have signed 23-year-old Nigerian midfielder Bright Osayi-Samuel from QPR. (Sky Sports) Another one slips through our grasp or a dodged bullet? Think slipped through our grasp. Wanted to come to Palace, probably Dougie thought we could wait and get him on a free

I wonder if that means Ozan Tufan is more available than he was?
