If it is the £30m quoted for Pedro, we are probably not quite able to stretch that far.

Easy to forget that Brighton ended the last window about £80m up. And the 2 windows before that about net zero. They have money to spend (and will have even more if Mac Alister leaves this summer)

We need to start making some money on transfers to fill the coffers, to give us a bit more purchasing power.

still hoping Plange could fill this void. After an encouraging pre season for us his 2 loans have not gone well, but there is a decent player in there. Probably will go out on a championship loan next season, but i'm still hopefully he could be our surprise impact sub.

Click bait headline PSG are in for Palace winger.

Sorry Wilf it's not you but Olise.

I hope it's not true but if they are serious and the money is right we shouldn't stop him.

One more point

IF this were to manifest Samprior I'd be more than happy alongside the caveat of reinvesting to replace any players who may be sold.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

This is a nice list of players, but if all under contract players stay, i would be happy with Jack Clarke to replace Wilf, a young RB, and mainly a CF, with movement, pace and anticipation, and try and move on Edouard.

Think we'd struggle to sign Scott, as much as I'd like to - he'll have a lot of offers from a lot of attractive clubs.

We have an angle now at least to point to Eze, Guehi and Olise's transition from top Championship youngsters to good, established Premier League players, but I think we will face more competition for Scott.

Would not be keen on Akpom - as someone else said this season definitely feels like the anomaly not the norm.

Nelson on a free would be great business.

We've got to look to Chelsea and the fire sale which will be going on there; will be some good players going for relatively cheap prices - if any of Gallagher, Loftus-Cheek, Broja, Hudson-Odoi are available I would be interested, even if it involved loans.

There's also some good players amongst the relegated teams - I'd have any of Lavia, Walker-Peters or Bella-Kotchap from Saints.

Leeds have a few; Adams, Harrison, Gnoto all seem good fits.

Leicester have a host of players we should consider; Barnes, Iheanacho, Castagne, Daka - Maddison will get a big move.

The combination of Chelsea being a mess and some established clubs being relegated means there is opportunity out there this window - we need to make the most of it.
