Gyokeres going to Sporting is a loss for Palace even if he would have costed around £25m it is someone Palace need a clinical goal scorer who gets you at least 15 EPL goals a season. Palace have not had that player in a long time. I think Zaha 14 EPL goals 2021/22 EPL season is the highest for a Palace player. Plus when you have Eze and Olise in your side Gyokeres will score goals. Need to hope Edouard or Ayew have a crazy season and both get a combined 20 EPL goals between them which is not impossible.

Of course not but I have seen no evidence that we are willing and able to spend. 2 directors who want to sell and Textor who seems to be in a big financial hole. If any evidence is shown, then every club will also know. Do you think, they are going to send private messages to Palace fans about how much they have to spend.

Why on earth do you think we have any money? Like I said the owners don't want to or can't fund it so our transfer budget is likely to be made up of savings from releasing senior players and whatever they release from the TV revenue. I seriously doubt we will be signing £20m or £30m players but happy to be proved wrong.

We had our splurge at the right time it seems, and did well to have got Guehi, Andersen, Olise, Eze, Doucoure, Hughes and even Edouard and Mateta at the prices we did. I think we will increasingly be reliant on a combination of making profits on some of our buys and on players coming out of the Academy, especially given the funds needed to build the new stand. I think we will struggle to retain our place in the PL in the not too distant future.

My fear is that that's the kind of money you need to buy pretty average players since Chelsea went on a spending spree last year and paid silly money. It seems to have continued in this window with the money Arsenal are prepared to shell out for Rice and the 100m Brighton seem to want for Caicedo not to mention the apparent silly 50m price tag Arsenal have purportedly set for Balogun. We had our splurge at the right time it seems, and did well to have got Guehi, Andersen, Olise, Eze, Doucoure, Hughes and even Edouard and Mateta at the prices we did.

I see Gyorkes is joining Sporting Lisbon for around £20mn. He's someone who looked to me to be a reasonable and realistic solution to our acute striker problem. If we aren't going for a player like him at a relatively modest fee for a striker then I can't help but agree with the suggestion that it's because we just don't have the funds (at least without a significant sale) to compete in this league. I do hope SP and DF have something up their sleeves but it's hard not to feel a little bleak.

I think we really are missing a trick here, it we offer 20m to Husdon Odoi and 30m for Balogun on a one year loan with obligation to sign at the end of the season, the Wilf, Luka, McArthur wages would cover the wages, Mateta sale covers the loan fees, we dont sell anybody this window, at the end of the season we sell one of the CDs to cover the transfer fees, job done

He’s only interested in a permanent deal

Not so simple I suggest..
