I can see Barkley being binned this summer and Gallagher taking his spot in the squad.Gallagher saying this morning that it's boring being linked to other clubs, think the lad desperately hoping if Tutchell not giving him a chance Palace buy him

Gabby Agbonlahor and Ally McCoist on Talksport a few minutes ago saying not to expect that Thelwell fella to do much and questioning his track record with recruitment.
Your problem with Thelwell is, it’s very hard to know how much involvement he’s had with the Mendes clients.
So he could have been hugely instrumental in bringing them in, or he could have been a passenger.
As he’s almost gone under the radar, it’s very lazy journalism to suggest he’s going to flop.
End of the day he’s been part of a club who brought in Dendoncker, Neves, Saïss (before the takeover), Jota and Raul Jimenez.
I guess we’ll see what he’s worth this summer, but being recommended by Cahill, personally leaves me with some confidence going forward.
I think given the stature of the mess were in, right now, that if consider it a successful summer if we bring in.
Tarkowski
Colwill
Broja
Gallagher
That is dependent on literally no out goings. If we do sell DCL and Richarlison then I’d be hoping for a few more bodies in the mix.
Do worry if we lose both and end up getting Lewis-Potter as the replacement. Absolute talent, but fear we’d be setting ourselves up for a slog again.

Tbf, we do buy a lot of their rubbish.Much rather take a punt on him than pay 20mil for winks. Again I just think it’s lazy journalism with Winks . We always seem to be the go to club when one of the big 6 want to get rid of their rubbish .
I've always thought there's no chance of Gallagher coming here.
If he's not part of the Chelsea setup then there's no reason not to go back to Crystal Palace. He's had a great season there, and obviously fits well into Viera's framework.
Barkley doesn't play because he's gash and hasn't taken his chance. Gallacher may take his and with cup comps and europe you'd imagine he'll get plenty of game time. Maybe the new owners will want to make a big statement and will sign 2-3 worldies and he feels he isn't going to get those chances but speaking to a few mates who are chelsea fans, they want to see him given game time.In which case Gallacher would ask to leave, why would he be happy given the spot if someone who basically doesn't play
I'm not in favour of Tarkowski myself mate but in terms of laying out how the summer might go, otherwise that wouldn't look too bad at all.For me mate
Tarkowski (no brainer to get him in)
Broja - yup - huge upside and almost certainly available at not an insane price
Gallacher - can't see us buying him but could see a loan (pray God it has an option to buy in) but if we sold players to be able to afford him go all in whatever it'd cost at 22 I think Chelsea will decide yes or no this season if he's part of the first team, another loan - hes 23 and had about 4 seasons loaned out - they don't make it at Chelsea after that - they'll decide his future this summer.
Cowil - is a loan - don't think Chelsea would consider selling with his age being only 19.
I'd add in Zinchenko to that list - available and could be convinced by the fact he's be starting every game in his favoured position.
Lewis Potter - again would be a good purchase too.
And Dacoure from Lens for circa 15m would be a good pickup, fact he's wanted by Vierra is a huge plus to go for him too.
Tarkowski - free
Broja - circa 15m?
Cowil - loan
Lewis Potter - 20m?
Dacoure - 15/20m?
Gallacher - loan/30-40m?
Zinchenko - 20m?
Think that's what we have to look at - obviously to get close to getting most we'd need at least one BIG sale and several of the others going for fees too
But if we break it down - Dacoure, Zinchenko, Gallacher for roughly ballpark figure of 80m would be offset maybe by Richy (or close to being) if he goes.
Would massively upgrade the team.
Pickford (Begovic)
Patterson(Coleman) Keane/Holgate/Godfrey- Tarkowski(Cowil) - Mykolenko (Godfrey)
Cheik Davoure (Allan/Davies) Gallacher (Iwobi) Zinchenko (c)(Dacoure)
Gordon (Dobbin) Deli/ Lewis Potter
DCL (Broja/Simms)
That's if Say Richy was sold and we got rid of Gray and a few others, could probably lose Allan too and one cb out if Keane or Holgate

Not a chance he picksBigger club, bigger wages, higher profile, manager he idolizes and sees as the role model for his own style of play.
Palace are currently better (pretty much down to this lads contribution in a way), but let's not make out Everton aren't a hugely bigger draw in comparison mate.
I'm not in favour of Tarkowski myself mate but in terms of laying out how the summer might go, otherwise that wouldn't look too bad at all.
For Tarkowski, I just think we should avoid ending up paying a kings ransom in wages by our standards to a player thats going to be on his last big contract in all probability. We should just look to avoid that way of doing things in our financial state and be more creative imo.
Not a chance he picks
Palace over us if it was a straight fight. For all the reasons you say, palace had a great season and got the same number of wins as us,
Worst injuries,
Worst ref decisions, and one of our worst seasons in our history.
