Why do we need a new CB, for me Delaney has been the backbone of our defence for the last four seasons, you need someone like him especially when you come up against Neanderthals like Diego Costa, Delaney wont be bullied by that type of player. Now that Brede and Marriappa have gone, a centre back is a must. Delaney has been brilliant and is firmly in place as my man crush but he aint getting any younger

Valid point although Kelly is 26 so not so much a youngster. I do wonder if there is a plan there to use him as a center half this year - that said, squad does look very thin across the back even if we do look to use a couple of youngsters. I'm sure we will see a signing or 2 in defence.

Everyone is batting on about Centerbacks, and Strikers, but we desperately need a creative Midfielder that can supply the strikers with the ball they need, not the hit and hope that they've had the last couple of seasons.

Everyone was whining that we'd be scrambling around for deals at the end of August... 2 big ones done, fair few out, this one in the works.

I think it's amazing we are going in for players like this and what a signing he would be but I have to be honest I wouldn't feel comfortable spending £30 million on Benteke... If we do get him we still need another striker in my opinion to provide some cover for him and Wickham. yep! scousers jus bein t***s. fukin blindin signings

Edited by Mad4palace (01 Jul 2016 5.58pm) And this. Palace going in at £25m, so presumably a final deal somewhere in the middle like £27/28m?
