Palace Summer 2026 transfers?

Guessand did okay for us but nothing special. My guess is we just can't afford another okay player at that price. Our model is to buy a player who increases in value. Well most of our forwards are bucking that trend e.g. Johnson, Nketiah, Franca JPM (running contract down) and Larsen (jury out).

I doubt we will bring in another attacking player unless one leaves. In fact I still believe we will only bring in replacements this window for those that we let go.

To think, we spent £150 million on that lot. Really not good. It’s done though. No point in crying over spilt milk. I am not writing any of that group off but they all need to pull their socks up. Meanwhile if we lose Lacroix, we should bring in the guys that Sage wants with that money.

The issue is that as all the above underperformers are on big wages and were bought for excessive transfer fees it will hinder our buying ability over the next few years.

It's similar to the Benteke and Sakho purchases. Both were bought before Roy joined and were on mega wages. Roy never had much to spend in the next few years as we were paying for those two.

Yes that is my big concern. We desperately need a couple of them, somehow to find some form... Or pray some desperate Saudi club with no sense come in for them.

Perhaps Monsieur Sage will get a tune out of these players.

Indeed. Hopefully the wise old Sage can work miracles and do the following: help Nketiah not strain his hamstring every time he plays mildly effective for two consecutive games, teach Strand-Larsen how to control a ball and not get bullied by defenders, invite França to more than two training sessions a year and finally the biggest challenge try to get Johnson to touch the ball during a football match.

He certainly has his work cut out for him. França and Nketiah have made a decent start though!

One hears about "one and two touch football".This is the amount of touches that Johnson has in an entire game !!
