Palace Summer 2026 transfers?

I said at the time it was a bad move for him. He was an inexperienced striker with one PL season with a small club. He would have done better going to a club like ours or equivalent for a couple of seasons to learn his trade.

When you are at a top 6 club the fans expect to see the finished article not a young man learning his trade. Ipswich and Palace fans are far more forgiving, if Ipswich had survived I would have told him to stay put for another season.

If JPM is going I would certainly enquire but I suspect Chelsea will want silly money.

It’s not just silly money Chelsea would want, it’s the silly money in wages we would have to pay him as well. A direct buy from a club like Ipswich is what we should be looking at in that we wouldn’t have to match a top side’s salary. As we do already with some of our players :-(
 
It would be no surprise if we are after midfielders with the uncertainty over the futures of Kamada, Lerma and possibly even Wharton.



Bissouma was a very good player, but has not been that for a couple of seasons for reasons of discipline, injury and lack of form.
On a free or for a small fee I could possibly make a case for him as an experienced squad option, but not as a first name on the teamsheet.

I know nothing of Engels.

I suspect Ozoh will be sold and there have to be doubts that Doucoure can become a first team regular again.

Quite possibly but I reckon Sage will want to have a good look at all our loaned out players first. Don't forget the last time Ozoh played for Palace was over two years ago. One shouldn't judge him on what he was like then. Sage, purportedly, has a lot of time for Academy players so let's see, especially if the purse strings are tight and we don't sell anyone for mega money.

If we could ever get Doucoure back to his best he would indeed be like a new signing. But it's very hard to see it now and even harder to see him not constantly breaking down.

when he came back a couple of years ago after the Achilles injury he played in the league cup v Norwich. He had clearly done some gym work and looked a lot bulkier than before his injury.

Partly due to this and probably due to lack of fitness/rustiness he was way off the pace and looked slow and cumbersome.

Since then he's had another major injury and been out for over 1 year.

Hopefully we will see him returning to his former self, but it is a big ask.
He is one of our top earners and a great asset when fit, and is still quite young, so hopefully he can get back to his former self.

Two years ago Ozoh at 18/19 was good enough to make 12 appearances for the first team in the Premier League and FA Cup. He was sent out on loan to get more game time not to put him in the shop window. When he got injured Derby did not want to send him back as they saw a star in the making. It was unusual then for our Academy loanees to go straight into the Championship as most ended up in Leagues 1&2.

Ozoh is a serious talent and like many Palace fans I would be p***ed off if he gets pushed out the door for a few million.

Totally agree. Would love to see him play next season and get minutes in the prem and cup games. Hopefully he will show enough to take the next step with Palace.

Agree. We nee the depth, so I can understand why, but I was kinda hoping that he would have taken Lerma's role in the squad this season.

Only worry would be that Glasner said he didnt really see him as a CM. Gospel according to Glasner, but he does know a thing or 2.

Immediately upon seeing Ozoh I thought 'yeah he could make it'.

I echo your sentiment, I'd be quite unhappy were he not given the chance to really prove it or not.
