Or maybe you think Ladapo and Anderson will cut the mustard in the PL?

Originally posted by coulsdoneagle It's all very well saying build from the back. But if Benteke god forbid did his MCL or ACL we would be absolutely Christian Fuched. We need someone capable to play second striker who can stay fit. And Wickham can play the third choice or battle for second if he stays fit and then we can have a kid as our backup backup. If we have a defensive injury, bar RB we should be okay for cover, if we have problems up top, then we will struggle to score against anyone. We are certainly very vulnerable with only one fit striker. There has been a vague rumour or two about Babacar but nothing very active on that front. We know that top strikers cost north of £30m, which I do not think we can afford to pay for one player this transfer season. He's brought Loftus -Cheek in as AM so my sense is that maybe he's looking to squeeze more goals from midfield? Zaha might develop more of a free roaming attacker role? etc?

Did I say we didn't need a striker but good managers build from the back, I'm sure we will sign a striker or 2 but defence need major surgery, whereas if Benteke fit he starts.

No it doesn't. We could do with a quality replacement for Sakho plus a replacement goalkeeper for the departed Mandanda which I don't think is major surgery. We have added to the midfield with Loftus-Cheek but having got rid of two of our four man striker department with the third still injured we need to re-inforce this area as a matter of priority. coulsdoneagle's response was perfectly valid as we seem to be linked with every Dutch defender under the sun but strikers are hardly mentioned. Whether you agree or not his comment didn't deserve the demeaning response that you gave him

Originally posted by Dan89 I think FDB think otherwise as he targeting another 2 or 3 defenders for next season. Believe it was media speculation/BS that thinks he'll sign another 2/3 defenders. Just think, we were reportedly in for dutch defenders left,right and centre.. yet our first signing was Loftus Cheek on loan, things are being kept tightly under wraps. The First 90 Minutes Are The Most Important!

De Boer will have assessed the squad by now and will be just as aware as we are that we are a bit light up front. There's no way we are going to go into the season with just Benteke and an injury-prone Wickham so I'm sure he has given it some thought. Have faith.

‪Palace targeting more defenders as they complete Riedewald coup [Link] Here's the article midlands eagle.

Hey guys calm down, I'd have thought our first port of call would be sorting the defence as without Sakho I'd imagine FdB see it needs an overhaul that means new first team players must be the priority if he's looking at this as our biggest weakness. I'd be highly surprised if once that's done we won't be looking for a striker or two. But let's be fair he needs to prioritise funds for the first team back line first. No point buying a second choose striker and not having enough left for a CB. As always Parish is working privately so just becuase we haven't announced anything doesn't mean we're not working on it..
