The Telegraph ran a piece a few days ago on Palace suggesting there were summer plans to extend four of the expiring contracts, sign four new players and bring in two loans.
No idea what the basis of this story is.
Apparently there was an attempt to buy Sarr in an earlier window for a sum in excess of £20 million which would indicate there is some capacity to spend.
You would think a new left back will be on the list if PVA departs, at least one midfield player, a new centre back and a new wide player.
Other additions would depend on who leaves.
A busy couple of windows seem likely.

We will extend contracts, get loanees in and sign a few players. The likes of Sakho will go and we will free up the wage bill.

We will balance the books as best we can and get through this period. Whether we will still be a Premiership club is another matter altogether.

We have painted ourselves into a corner with inadequate investment and a negative approach that is slowly but surely grinding down our existing decent players. We have become grateful for fortunate wins as opposed to them being deserved and become accustomed to pitiful performances against mediocre opposition.

We are a first team squad in decline with no support from the U23s and we have 6 months to sort it all out otherwise we will be nailed on certainties for relegation next year. I would suggest that is too short a period of time to resolve the issues we have as we appear to have investors who don’t wish to speculate any further.

Our policy of clinging on without steady window by window player investment is coming home to roost so let’s hope for two more wins out of 12 and then enjoy what could be our final year at the top level for this time around.

I’ll be delighted if someone finds the money to dig us out of this hole we have dug for ourselves, but I’m not convinced it’s going to happen. We will end up with 70% of our squad who are past their best getting a years extension to their contracts and we will soon discover that backs to the wall football from day 1 of the next season will not be sufficient to earn enough points to stay up.

It all sounds very downbeat doesn’t it, but until Parish tells us something different I can’t see it going any other way.

In fairness to Hodgson, and I don’t always feel disposed that way, he did point out a year or so ago that the squad would need to be bolstered owing to the ageing nature of many of the players.We haven’t done this as quickly as we should have , but let’s hope we properly address the situation this summer.

Not necessarily as the club must be making significant losses in these covid times. The accounts for the year ended 30th June 2019 showed gate receipts of £10.6. plus advertising revenue of £10m. The former will have completely disappeared whilst the later will have been drastically cut so if there was cash available for transfers last summer it doesn't mean that it's still there.

The only way that we will be able to buy new players is if the Americans and Parish dip their hands deep into their pockets

You/re dreaming. It isn't a question of doing one's job, it is about not having the vast resources required.

Also, Mark Hughes made an important point in yesterday's half time analysis. Big dramatic change is bad. While the play is dull, the players are clearly comfortable with it. Try and introduce radical change - 7 changes! - in a team that already operates on the margins of safe mid table and cliff-edge relegation, and we will go down.

Perhaps we need to invest in 3/4 quality players that will enable us to go back to e.g. "early Roy" or equivalent.
