With luck we will be in four competitions next season. An experienced keeper will get playing time giving Hendo, a break now and again, in particular in the two games a week situations.
Crystal Palace in talks to sign PSV goalkeeper Walter Benitez on free transfer
The 32-year-old will be out of contract with PSV later this month and is yet to sign a new deal with the Dutch champions.www.nytimes.com
Sounds like the perfect backup to Hendo. Free and experienced at the top level.

Summer Transfers 2025 (rumours and incomings)
- Topic starter DANGERCLOSE
- Start date
Last season Brighton spent more money than any other club in the world. And their net spend (£230m) was 50% above the Arabs in 2nd place.
Still won f*** all.
The top 10 on net spend last year is a shambles. In order: Brighton, Al-Nassr, Ipswich, Man United, Al-Ittihad, Tottenham, PSG (great season in fairness), City, West Ham, Al-Ahli.
Spend big does not equal spend smart.

Being objective, Brighton might not have been expecting instant gratification and instead were starting to build a foundation for regular top 6 places in future seasons. But let's hope that all goes incredibly badly for them. 18th this season and a points deduction for only having one song.

I'd be surprised if Brighton fans could name all of their squad. I try not to watch them too often, but Minteh seems like the only one of their signings from last summer that has really shone. Rutter got 5 goals, which is not great for a striker that cost £40 million. It's great stockpiling young talent if they progress, but if they don't play regularly at the top level the danger is they lose value, become dissatisfied and suddenly you've spunked all your money on players no one has heard of and PSR is knocking on the door saying "We want our money Lebowski..."

True and if they sign anyone half decent they'll have Chelsea throwing a ferret in their bath and peeing on their rug.

According to The Dude but he might not be the most reliable source.

I see that, as usual, there is little going on in the Palace transfer window(s). Someone asked earlier... what do we need? If we are to compete in four competitions we need improved cover in most positions. We need extra strikers and I read a sensible comment earlier that a natural striker will score at any level so let us give our U21's some minutes especially in pre-season. Jesse Derry might be tempted to stay if he gets a chance and sees a future here. i have watched some U21 games both live and on Palace TV and I feel that they are not encouraged to play the same way as the first team. This is a serious mistake. Do we need different U21 coaches?
