From the above list Clyne and Niasse used to be good, but without game time in the last years, not anymore.

I wonder if someone like David Silva would come to Palace. How much salary can a Spanish team like Valencia offer him? They pay poorly in Spain comapred to the Premier League. Great player. I can see him playing as deep lying playmaker in his last years, something we haven't had since Cabaye.

Ryan Fraser of course is wanted by many clubs.

Ibe hasn't played in a long time and I don't think Palace needs to gamble with him right now. We need certainty and players who can score and provide assists asap.

No names mentioned directly. He simply said that he wants the young players that DF & SP are trying to bring in over the line early because there is a risk that (and I quote)
"a lot of the players who are currently injured may not necessarily have recovered in time to play the opening games"
Interpret that as you will. To me it's the cost of having a small ageing squad who have been asked to play the next lockdown game when they haven't fully recovered from the previous one, allied to the problem that we have few younger options who can do a reasonable job. The board's past failures are coming home to roost, although from the threads on here, it seems that RH is getting the bulk of the flak.

Should be going all out for Eze and Fraser but we'll end up with Ibe and some aged CM noone else wants.

Probably correct as , Roy has stated his requirements of experience to ensure we have the oldest,if not the oddest squad in the history of the game,as we pursue our frees and loan signings.
Our only brief is to stay up at all costs,remember!!

Apparently WH owe over £54m on previous transfers and need to sell. Had they been relegated they would, by all accounts, have been f***ed, hence Souchek and Bowen were brought in during January

I think he said a while ago that he is joining his home town club in Spain.
