I appreciate that in life one takes umbrage in certain circumstances but the incessant drone of a voice growling like a 'Jensen Interceptor' idling in low revs can become somewhat irritating, especially when the bellyache is directed at 'Yours Truly'.

Edited by Willo (11 May 2023 5.48pm) The growling of a Jensen interceptor sounds rather alluring, but onto a possible clickbait dynamic young midfielder currently at Celtic Sounds a great young player but don't suppose he'd be cheap Edited by PJEagle (14 May 2023 6.22pm)

Promising young LB might be on his way, initially obviously for the under 18s

The areas that need strengthening are: RB, another winger and a clinical striker. Left Back is fine you got Mitchell, Adaramola from the Academy is also very decent could challenge Mitchell for the left back spot. Playing 4-2-3-1 brings the best out of everyone Olise RW, Eze CAM and Zaha LW (or buy another LW). Doucoure has been good I feel that you already have players in the squad that could do a decent role (Hughes) or Riedewald if given the chance is not bad I think Roy has used him before. You also got Ozoh from the academy who can also play as a holding midfielder. We have never replaced AWB fully. Reports are Palace could bid for Boey from Galatasaray. He would definitely be a huge upgrade on Clyne and Ward. A clinical striker is also required someone who guarantees you 15+ goals a season with creative players like Eze and Olise in the side 15+ goals a season is not impossible for a clinical striker. You got players like Gyokeres but I feel someone like Akpom could do a good job for Palace mainly played as a CAM but he can also play up front. Another position which needs strengthening is central midfield, and Wharton has improved a lot this season and is only 19. It made such a difference having Gallagher last season.. McArthur has been a great player for the club but age and fitness issues have at last caught up with him. I think we need a Gallagher type player and we definitely need a young dynamic box to boxer. Whether Wharton is the answer I don't know but we do need a Gallagher type player. I'm assuming Gallagher himself is too bedded in at Chelsea now and would be way too expensive.

Roy's been told that he has a warchest. Obviously empty but chests aren't cheap these days.

Not sure why people are putting players like Matheus Franca on the list he would never get a work permit to come to Palace even if they could agree a fee plus he has a release clause of 20 something million. Only big clubs get away with it work permit wise. A lot of the other names maybe but Palace like Prem experience and what about wages/agent fees let alone if those players would even be interested not sure they would. How much money does the club have to spend the books show not much at all. If Roy signs it gives SP an excuse to not spend again. You really dont have a clue do you, its about Sustainability, Parishs worth is 65m, its not his fault, i for one think he has done an excellent job, i do not expect millions to be spent in the close season, RB, Wilf replacement if he goes and a CF, to my mind this with 400/500k a week saved a good time to get a couple of decent loans in, it will also give the promising youngsters more time to develope, unless your donating a few millions, Grumpy.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Parish worth what does that matter he runs the club his worth means nothing his holdings on the club are small. That will costs millions it is very rare to sign players for under million. 400-500k saving you are in fantasy land again. You do not even understand how loan market works you pay fees and wages this costs millions. I may own some shares in the club already. Originally posted by Nicholas91

Three of those names are from teams which have been in English Prem and another Scot Prem. Mateta we was trying to get rid of and is a bit part player. How many players have we purchased from abroad which are starting for us regular 1 (could say 2 with keeper) and how many in senior squad 7.

Is everyone already ruling out Ahamada in that position. Roy had a lot of good things to say about him?

If Zaha were to go, it looks like there are two very good wingers going down in Barnes and Harrison. I think Barnes will go to someone better than us, but I'd love Harrison. Wouldn't offer the same excitement factor as Wilf, but he's efficient. Seam to remember him recently signing a new contract, which felt odd considering the trouble they were in.

Guehi had never kicked a ball in the Prem, so to say he played for a Prem side is a little bizarre. Olise came from Reading - are you saying because they were in the Prem about 10 years ago they qualify as a Prem side? Clearly the Scottish top flight is not comparable with the English Prem too. I think we have tended to buy closer to home as our scouting network is not the best. Prices may dictate we need to look further afield this summer.
