Agree, if we need to balance the books we might find it hard to turn down a bid of around £20m from one of the big boys.

But it would be a shame as he’s rapidly turning into one of my favourite palace players. I mean, he’s no Dean Gordon, but he’s doing well.

Vive le Roy!

I THink we need another special winger and hence we being linked with shurlle perhaps? Wilf can now fit into the team with such a player as shurlle as can play striker quite well.

We need another cm. our three played through the pain barriers to stay in the ring this season. So another cm is vital

A right back is essential to either upgrade on ward to compete with obi wan, or ward needs to sign up asap

Hoping to see the Guaita deal finalise soon too

Whilst there is no arguing with the statistic we did manage to throw away winning positions in the 90th minute which you can't put down to the absence of our talisman

It should have been fairly obvious that Palace in the Blood meant re-sign not resign

I sincerely hope not...best passer in the team with both feet BY MILES!

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

As Midland Eagle said I mean re-sign (that's what auto-correct does)

A backup for Wilf is not impossible in my view it's probably the most important purchase. The fact we couldn't win without him was for a few reasons.

1) His talent and the way he occupies the opposition defence.

2)Our lack of adequate backup from the bench. It is clear the management did not feel under 23 players were ready.

3)A bit of bad luck possibly in conceding late goals

A backup has to be able to adequately cover when other player is absent so may not be close to his ability (we are not Man City and can not afford very expensive bench players). Sako was adequate cover when fit but is long term injured and out of contract.

The 25 man squad is usually 3 keepers, a first team with cover for each position which gives 23 so plus 2 other players. These 2 are often an extra striker or may be utility players or to cover known weakness which may be long term injury or even susceptibility to injury. For example will Dann be in 25 when we start next season probably even though he won't be fit.

We have a number of areas where we don't have adequate cover currently and others with players out of contract potentially leaving increasing the gaps.

This will in my view mean that the management will try to fill these gaps. Upgrading in areas where adequate cover exists will in my view only happen where a bargain can be had eg out of contract or current club need to sell for financial reasons
