Looks awesome but we need to upgrade Delaney and ward as well. Ward can be a bit of a donkey so need someone with pace.imo Edited by DANGERCLOSE (01 Jul 2016 8.06am)

Just play all 3 ! Townsend right bolasie left and zaha in the middle where his quick feet will cause chaos. or even bolasie behind a striker all works for me.

Once Townsend has signed then it looks like Palace will turn their attention to Benteke - who seems open to it, for the good reason that there are practically no strikers at Palace and he is a good one! And he fits Palace's style of play

A CB and RB should be a priority this window after a CF. If AP and SP can manage to get the purchases done I'd also be pretty keen to get rid of Mutch and CY Lee and possibly even Sako, but he perhaps should be given a bit more of a chance. But all 3 showed they are not good enough to be squad players in the second half of last season.

I have the perfect response to Murray's the man posts - I never bother to read them. It's an approach I can heartily recommend.

I don't think Zaha has the awareness or presence to play centrally. It worked at the tail end of the promotion season but Pardew tried it once or twice last season and Wilf looked lost. Zaha hasn't really been put on the left much since he came back, seeing as Townsend also prefers being on the right, it will be interesting to see which of them is forced to play on the left.

Having Zaha, Yala and Townsend all fight for 2 Places will make all three of them better players. My team would currently look like

My team would currently look like DD was awesome last season, has a strong bond with Dann and still has plenty of juice in the tank to rack up more MotM performances for at least one more season. Which is why we should be looking at the lads from Wolves, or similar. They can be integrated through the season in order to graduate in to DDs slot when he leaves to finish his career at [MK Dons?] with the club's and fan's best wishes.

I agree. But we do need backup, and Delaney is old now; if he were to be injured for a few months we'd be screwed.

But when you come up against the likes of Rashford (who made Delaney look Sunday League in the cup final) then we might need a more mobile CB and definitely someone more long term.
