This (better formatted than my attempt).

My only difference would be adding another starting quality CM if we move Delph and Gomes. Can't rely on JPG for obvious reasons, and that would leave us with just Davies as cover.

Would also like to explore the possibility of shipping one of Keane or Holgate for another quality CB.

Well yes...

1: You think an average player (Townsend) is worse than 2 useless players (Iwobi/Bernard) on the right.

2: You seem to rate Demarai Gray higher than Townsend.

3: If you ask Palace fans they will tell you Townsend is an average premier league player.

If you ask Leicester fans they will tell you Gray is a headless chicken with a bad attitude.


So clearly youre in the minority compared with regular watchers of both players. Hence why i dont think youve seen them play (much).

You keep stating Townsend is average like that's a fact. It isn't obviously. I know one Palace supporter. He's not upset to see Townsend gone and replaced by a 19 year old with no experience at this level. Take it for what you will.

I don't really put stock into how supporters rate players anyway. Passion leads to crazy things. People were saying two years ago that Bernard would be a useful player for any team in the league. Now he's not a useful player for any team in any reasonable league on the entire continent. He was always this bad but the passion for Everton allowed people to see it different.

I really don't understand either signing unless we're just completely out of money. And if we are I'm always going to side with the talented reclamation project over the washed up nothing player. It doesn't mean I like either.

Really if you want to know why I'm not into Townsend though the simple answer is Josh King. Not to be a prick but I was very right about Josh King.
 
Spot on.

Potentially look at keeping on one of Gordon or Broadhead too, just in case we suffer a couple of injuries in the wide areas.

I’d be looking at Bissouma if we could ship out Gomes for a decent fee.

Thats correct, he was signed by Leverkusen for peanuts who are now prepared to sell for £1.5mil.

Why could that be? Why didnt anyone else want him in Jan or even now at these cheap prices?

I think we'll see Bernard out next and Lenglet in on loan -- then we'll be trying for sales...perhaps as many as 8 outs.

If we spend money on Dumfries at £14mil then thats another bizarre signing.

Think you aren’t taking into consideration is that a large percentage of clubs cannot afford daft fees anymore!

There will be a increase of teams wanting to get high earners off the books at bargain prices so they can take advantage of the bargains.

It looks like we have stopped this stupidity over buying over priced average players on long contracts and drafts amounts per week
It’s already been mentioned, we get rid of Bernard (this week according to reports) at 120k per week cost no fee, who offered nothing, and bring in No.2 keeper on less than what Olsen was on, a free transfer on approximately 50/60k and cheaper bench option for 1.5million and 50/60k per week
We will have options off the bench and pace going forward with players who can carry the ball

Instead of whinging we should wait until the end of the window, looking at the squad at the moment we will finish higher up the table than we did with a supposed world class manager

Clearly the owner of the club isnt "completely out of money".

Thats a nonsensical argument.

There appears to be two arguments which hold a certain amount of validity:

A: Were sweeping out the deadwood that are on (mostly) £75k+ a week wages for (soon to be) deadwood on £50k or less.

This should enable us to save money on wages and bring in transfer fees.

Weve had an average £55mil net spend since Moshiri came in. If there is £55mil added to any incoming transfer fees along with saved wages (from the deadwood) made available...

...then we may see £100mil+ spent on some top young players. The concern here is a drop off in quality from 1st eleven to backup...which should be rectified next summer...

...when lots of players are out of contract (including deadwood were bringing in).

So this summer may see: Iwobi, Bernard, Keane(or another), Tosun, Kenny, Sigurdsson, Delph and Gomes moved on.

Begovic, Gray, Townsend, Lenglet(loan) coming in for nothing + RB RW CM for fees.

The excitement then depends on those 3 signings.


B: Were replacing deadwood on high wages for deadwood on low wages. Were operating in a sell to buy environment and need to rely on sales to cover the cost of any spending -- while also cutting wages.


Obviously A is preferable but B may not be a bad idea IF we are able to have a similar big spending summer next year to that of Chelsea a year ago.


For me, id be very happy with this:


GK: Pickford / Begovic
RB: ??? / Coleman
CB: Mina / Lenglet
CB: Godfrey / Holgate
LB: Digne / Nkounkou
DM: Gbamin / Davies
CM: Allan / Doucoure
AM: James / ???
RF: ??? / Townsend
CF: DCL / Kean
LF: Richarlison / Gray

*Branthwaite/Gordon/Onyango and others breaking through over the season.

IN £1.5mil
Begovic (Free)
Lenglet (Loan)
Townsend (Free)
Gray (£1.5mil)


Out £60mil
Kenny
Keane
Delph
Gomes
Sigurdsson
Bernard
Iwobi
Tosun

= £55/60mil.



I think we could 'get away' with signing just three more players...

Aarons or Emerson
Antony or Bailey
Young central player


We'd have saved a fortune in wages and massively improved our right hand side.

Im fine with this when its Begovic / Townsend. A couple of average performers on low wages for a season to replace deadwood.

Im not fine on Demarai Gray on a 2 year deal. One year deal i could barely stomach, but two years...no.
 
Zatara said:
If Antony comes in and we have him and Richarlison out wide then its a huge improvement to the first 11.

If we need to shift Bernard and Iwobi then replace with Townsend to make it happen it makes sense.

In another year we sign someone to replace Townsend...

Gray on 2 years makes zero sense though.

There is zero evidence that Brands has deals lined up for Bernard and / or Iwobi.

Just adding more deadwood to the pile.

-- athletic link if anyone has a subscription can shed any light?

I dont have a subscription but i saw on a dodgy site that the athletic claims were after Diogo Dalot ?

For me, a superior signing to Dumfries.
 

(The Athletic)

£50m stadium costs written off from accounts, relieves some pressure

We’re keen to get rid of Bernard, Delph & Tosun.

Willing to sell Kean.

Striker a priority- target man in mould of DCL.

Leon Bailey & Chukwueze on shortlist.

Arias & Dalot interest last summer. Aarons & Dumfries- looks like latter but negotiating with Raiola.

Pape Sarr, 18, Metz, has been scouted. Immediate priorities are now elsewhere though. Gbamin situation could change things.

If we could bring in Aarons/Dalot + Sarr + Bailey then it would be a great window.

Think we need alot more outs than just Delph, Tosun and Bernard.

I wonder what target man could be of interest...whose good enough to push DCL on.
