But Crystal Palace don't spend £100m on new players every summer. I've said this before, you can hover around midtable in this league playing that way with Tosun, McCarthy, Bolasie and Schneiderlin in your side. You can't go out and spend £300m on a new team and hope to win games by nicking a goal from a set piece. If he wants to do that he had better be very successful because the crowd just won't accept that sort of football to keep finishing 8th. Hell they wouldn't even accept it when Moyes was finishing 6th.

I agree with everyrhing you are saying.

However the word can't is perhaps better replaced with shouldn't. We should not be in the position where our midfield options are Davies, Gomes, Delph & Sigurdsson, and on the flanks Bernard, Walcott & Iwobi. Thats the concrete position we find ourselves in.

I think Ancelotti is a pragmatic and streetwise manager. I also think in honesty, he will not be jettisoning his reputation on a style of play that most of our players aren't capable of to placate fans.

Lets see who we get in. However I strongly suspect we will be organised, hard to beat and play on the margins next season.

It is worth underlining here, I'm not making a moral judgement of this, or saying it's the right way to go, or that we ought to be in this position. It's just a comment for where I believe Ancelotti views us as being at, and what he will do to remedy it. I agree there will be a lot of frustration amongst supporters.

Quick glance down to the suggested team ... sees Mina and Keane in cb... I’m not gonna read this even though I think those Brentford players would be worth a gamble for the right price

Thems the choices we have right now (with Holgate)
Who would you have there for us? We going out and buying Van Dijk and Koulibaly?!
I put them there because I think they will be our defenders this season. Not because I believe them to be the best there.
The team needs attention further forward first and that is what I was showcasing.

Apparently Ollie Watkins has a release fee of £18m, but I think he would be 4th choice here, unless we move Richarlison out wide. Could be a bargain if he gets 10 or more goals though

If we had the money I would try get both Watkins and Benrahma.
Both outstanding at the top of that league - which is just as good as the bottom half of our league (so shouldn't struggle for performances really) and could help each other integrate.
Probably looking at £50m for the pair though so no doubt won't happen (Carlo may not want them too!)

The team would be something like this -

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Digne
Rodriguez Allan Doucoure Benrahma
Watkins Richarlison

Then rotate players for cup games so the likes of Holgate, Gomes and Calvert-Lewin get a look in.

How've we spent all that money to still have Coleman at RB
