Ain't going to happen, so punch and zaha ha are going to have to massively increase their quality return goals and assists,

Great loyalty but not very good logic.

The difference is Man U, Chelsea, Tott, and so on have the money to go and buy more super stars when the sell their best players to replace them.

We cant go and buy who we want when we want SO we have to keep our best players

My point is that i would have liked to see benteke bolasie and townsend,
Townsend actually spent his time at newcastle on the right or behind the striker, bolasie as we know behind the striker or on the left,meaning punch zaha and sako playing for the other place, we ran into trouble last year as we needed another winger, pardew ended up playing mutch wide instead of lee who didnt overly shine when bolasie punch and sako got injured,
Did we really plan to sell bolasie to buy benteke ? Didnt we bid 25 for benteke a couple of weeks ago ? Also didnt we bid 20 for berhinio ? All before the rumour of bolasie going Why put a bid in if we didnt have the money ? i dont believe the plan was sell bolasie to get in benteke, mutch lee maybe to reduce wage bill and maybe get a bit of transfer fee back , re gayle i liked him i wanted him to stay, im not annoyed im dissapointed that i wont get to see benteke townsend bolasie zaha playing togeather i think it would have given us some fantastic options, and strengthen with proven prem talent the squad , i also find it refreashing to have competition thats what all the succesful clubs have,

Glad we agree i truely dont believe bolasie was sold to buy benteke and then not replace him ,that wouldnt make sense, we would have the same amount of wingers as last year which as we knw wasnt enough,

However bolasie sold to bring in another striker a no ten and a winger makes sense, and i think your eye for tgr gaps is spot on

except for one thing i dont knw if you saw the stats on different players goals and assists ratios in my previous message but thats the bit that concerns me, 20 mil bahinio who actually spent much of his time at wba last season as a no 10 or wide assisted none and scored 1 un 5 thats less then bolasie, sako west ham closer but 15 mill and apoarently a injury issue, my fear is us finding a winger who can assist and score , no distespect at all to zaha or punch but a 1 in 9 or 1 in 6 isnt going to help benteke , we get a no 10 and a winger with both a 1 in 3 ratio for the 25 to 27 mill we get for bolasie thats two players for the price of one fantastic business but who ! Hence the list provided and comparisons , there aint alot out there readily available and what is will be expensive its not just an over inflated price for bolasie its everyone , exept townsend due to relegation clauses was a steal, i believe that the bolasie exit wasnt planned a sun journalist 2 weeks ago said zaha and bolasie upset re a promised contract review not happening, a week before bolasie was saying he couldnt wait for benteke bahinio or sako he knew them all, i think palace were going to splashthe cash lessons learnt after last year, at least 4 out and out wingers 3 strikers etc i think we would of had it all, what makes me think this is that its v late in the day to arrange for two strikers to come in and a winger to replace another winger who needs to be sold, if this had been plan a we would be out getting a replacemt fir bolasie before we sold him like we did with the keepers, bolasie has jumped perhaps initially over a wage row but leaves us needing 3 vital points from wba with our side from last year exept townsend for bolasie , with no fit prem experianced wingers and only 1 striker, pullis would love to get his side to kick us all over the park injure wickham and stuff zaha or townsend retribution for the 3 mill we won in court against him ,
I have total faith in ap and sp but it needs to happen asap

I understand your thinking but I find it odd that a club that claims to be going places sells one of their most "iconic" players. He and Zaha have been what Palace has been about the last few years and what has made us entertaining to watch. Regardless of stat's Bolasie has been a key ingredient in our success and to sell him at his peak represents a return to the dark days for me.
Obviously I hope this all works out for us and we spend the money on players who will take us further but I will only believe that when it happens and I will think very long and hard about wasting my hard earned money on attending games if we go down.
