What do we need

[Spindle]

Forget Chalobah, Chelsea have played him and will be in Europe next season. Guehi has to sign an extension or be sold. We'll sign another 2 CBs cos Ward and Holding are gone also.

Dacoure, he's good enough but I fear he's a crock, we just won't know.

Chilwell, far too expensive, goodbye, replace. I do wonder if there's anyone in the academy ready for LWB.

Édouard, shift him, I'd take Vardy instead. He needs prem bench money cos of his stupid wife.

Rak Saki, just sell.

I do not think Palace need to buy a lot of players this summer. The main thing is keeping the group of players for another season at least. The only difficulty could be Guehi and Eze. Guehi contract expires next summer and financially being a free transfer in 2026 makes most sense for him and he would get a signing on fee/bonus etc.. I think Newcastle bid £65m in January for him which was rejected. Now that people know his contract expires next summer you won't get £65m for him. Most clubs will try to get him on a free transfer. If they do bid probably be bids in the region of £30-£40m at most. It does not make financial sense for Palace to let him run down his contract.

Eze has a release clause so I can see it being activated (Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool) he will have suitors.


If both Eze and Guehi leave this summer then Palace will probably need 2 centre backs considering they are in Europe next year. Bella Kotchap would be a decent signing from Southampton and maybe one other does not have to be a huge name someone that can fit Glasner's system. Would also love Chalobah.

I would bring back Adaramola to provide competition for Mitchell at LB.

A back up ring wing back is also required. We need someone who will be happy to be 2nd choice as Munoz won't be benched. If Palace cannot get one I would love to see Kporha get promoted to the first team I think he could be a very good player if given the chance and he can learn from the experienced players.

CM/DM is Palace strongest point have a lot of options (Wharton, Hughes, Kamada, Lerma, Devenny and if Doucoure can be fit for most of next season him and Wharton would be a very solid partnership and the strongest option.

If Eze leaves I would love to see Franca and Esse play more. Especially Esse, I think he could have a solid season if given the chance. I would love to see Palace buy an ACM or winger.

In terms of up front Palace have Mateta. Nketiah cannot have a worse season than this season 3 goals in 28 games. He will improve. Sarr can play up front as well. I would love to see Ola Adebomi get promoted as well only 21 years old but has goals in him.


In short, the key for Palace is keeping their manager and players but that might prove too difficult for Guehi and Eze. I would love to see players like Adaramola, Kporha and Ola Adebomi get promoted to the first team. Esse, Nketiah and Doucoure could be new players next season I can see them all do well if given the chance and touch wood no injuries.



Palace XI (if Guehi and Eze leave) Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Bella Kotchap, Mitchell, Doucoure, Wharton, Munoz, Sarr, Mateta, Esse)

 

[Goal Machine]

I think Guehi and Eze are off and we'll get around £110m or the pair. The bulk of this should be spent on trying to replace them.

Essentially we need two players good enough in each position with a few utility players like Lerma. Two games a week will be intense and we'll have to use the League Cup as opportunity for youngsters to gain first team experience. This means the urgent replacements are:

- GK: Henderson, +1
- CB: Richards, Lacroix, Lerma, Clyne, Riad+2, +3
- RWB: Munoz, +4
- LWB: Mitchell, +5
- CM: Wharton, Hughes, Kamada, Lerma, Doucoure, Devenny, Ozoh
- Wingers: Sarr, Esse, Franca, Rak-Saki +6
- Mateta, Nketiah, +7

Talking points:
- Rak Saki: Has had a good season with Sheff Utd and has earned his chance at least. Jury still out.
- Chillwell seemed to enjoy his loan stint and brings experience. Worth going for if willing to reduce salary demands.
- Riad & Doucoure: Long term injuries, will they return back to the level they were?
- Ozoh started well with Derby before injury. May be best to send out on loan again.
- We remain in a semi crisis if either Hendo, Munoz, Mitchell or JP get crocked.

Eze will be extremely difficult to replace. Guehi less so. Hoping Parish can pull out some magic to keep Eze.

!st off, clubs are required to have 3 goalkeepers in their squads, which is why having Remi Mathews is handy, he's on approx £5k-£6k pw & is happy being a No3GK. Woodman & Whitworth are to be added tho i would assume Whitworth will go back out on loan or sold(imo).

RWB, we have Kporha & Danny Imray as well. LWB, yes we need cover, tho as has been stated, Tayo Aderamola, 'could' be included. CM agreed. Wingers, Rumours Rak-Sakyi will be sold, Soton, who wanted him last summer are after him again. So, we'll need poss 2 more. Striker, agreed.

If Munoz got injured, Kporha and Imray are not good enough to slot straight in. Same goes for Whitworth and Matthews. 3rd choice not realistically expected to play.

Big step up for Adaramola to go from League 2 Bradford to PL. he, like others, needs a full season in the Championship before he can be considered for the first team.

If Rak-Sakyi goes, we'll at least get some money for him. From what I've seen of him, not good enough, but I think he's earned his chance.

Didn't Adaramola play some first team games for us? Maybe subs appearances? So he has been around the first team before. It's perhaps not quite the stretch people think.
An issue with Tayo and Ozoh has been injuries, unfortunately.

 

[eaglesdare]

Has lerma signed a contract extension? I thought it expired this summer.

I can see Eze staying and Guihe signing on with a release clause like Olise did. European football and a world cup coming up next year. Can't see our best players leaving when they are playing so well in the system with us with the upcoming world cup.

 

[aashman12]

LWB is the essential move, Mitchell for me is the weak link in the System, another CF, Jonathan David available on a free, BOS on a free, I think the only one who i think may leave is Eze, but i think he should wait another year, Keeper, and if we can get decent money for Doucoure i would take it, Bellingham from Sunderland is the perfect partner for Wharton

GK, Henderson, New, Whitworth
RWB, Muñoz, BOS,
LWB, New, Mitchell
CD, Richards, Lacroiux, Guehi, New, Lerma, Riad
CM, Bellinghan, Wharton, Hughes, Kamada, Devenny,
AM, Sarr, Eze (or replace), as Franca and Esse cost 35m between them they should develop
CF, Mateta, David

Doucoure and Nketiah open to offers, 5 in, 2 free, 3 bought, Chillwell is a Know for Me.

Matthews has renewed so will be no3
