I think that you are on the wrong forum. This is Crystal Palace you know

Not really sure we need a clean out. The squad is thread bare as it is. I'm sure if the club got responsible offers for the players you mentioned, they would consider them but I don't think we really have the luxury of booting anyone out the club until we have others come in

Need to get rid of the 3 on 100+ grand a week , then we can set a new wage structure, none of the teams round us have players on that sort of money. 60 a week should be enough for our level, reckon Burnley, Bournemouth , Southampton etc don’t pay much more.
The Benteke deal f*vked us as then Zaha would have wanted at least the same and it set the bar for when Sakho was bought.

We should have got rid of high earners, but we renewed their contracts, so we have to keep them as no one will buy them unless on a free, unfortunately.
We will have to do with what we have I'm afraid, which is surely enough to stay up anyway.

All I know is that with the piss poor scouting, contract extending, high salary spending etc this club is severely lacking when it comes to practical matters. The buck stops with Parish.
The opportunity was there to release two high earners who do not contribute, but what happens?

There's definitely some big wages that need shifting but as others have said to do too much in Jan could be silly.

We need to get younger across the park.

I'd like to see us bring in Kyle Walker-Peters and Nathan Ferguson to compete for RB spot, both can provide cover for LB and Ferguson has been touted to shift to CB in the future. With Cahill and Tomkins plus others I don't think there's been a better time a Palace to start learning what being a CB is all about.

Those to go. If (big IF) someone was to offer over 10m for Benteke I can't see how we'd turn it down providing we have someone coming in (think RHs comments are a bit of a smokescreen). Chalov, Morelos and Barbosa have been mentioned and I like the look of them but they won't be cheap - so I don't think there'll be any serious investment up top until CB had departed.

Dann would be another who if an offer came in I think it'd be time for him to move.

Then come the summer the fututes of Sakho and Meyer will need to be assessed.

All of this however is dependent on other teams actually being interested which considering that all of those mentioned are not playing due to form, fitness or competition doesn't really place any of them in marketable positions.
