I would easily swap Benteke for the two Celtic stars. If not at least buy dembele out right. RLC would be considered if he was under £5 mil. He has potential and is young. Something we need in the club. A cb is a must. Amadou. With sakho it would be a perfect pair. I reckon Bart sounds good and cheap but we ought to aim for him and get origi or another gk free.

Yes, I know this is overly simplistic and doesn't account for wages etc but we are limited in what we can sort of know, and we can assume wages are roughly proportional to transfer fees. Here is a list of players we have been linked with, with estimated prices. I don't think we can spend the £40 mill we spent this time last year, so I think our budget is more likely to be around £30 mill. So for £30 mill what set of 3 players would you buy?

Are you suggesting clubs don't work within a budget or that the prices above are wrong? (Where possible prices were ones reported in the press or where they weren't I used transfermarkt.com...and added a few mill on as that site tends to undervalue players). Also we can add to the lists now: CD Jozo Simunovic 8 mill ST Nicolas Gaitan 13.5 mill (Although a winger we have consistently been linked to him in various papers/web sites, I wonder if he could be purchased to play as a striker or the play as a winger and Zaha to predominantly play in a more striker roll)

We need a striker with timing who can be in the right place at the right time consistently. Tekkers looks off in that respect but good in the air. Wilf can get into the required positions easily with his skill. The breakdown occurs within the six yard box/penalty area. If we had a striker who could be in that area consistently and not just at set pieces then we may profit. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

We save money on another striker by buying a new winger on the cheap. And, before anyone else points it out I'll call myself out on my spelling to roll...should be role (I hang my head in shame!)

I was wondering if we could poach someone like Okazaki from Leicester or Son from Spurs. Second choice strikers that are never going to be no.1 at their current clubs. Both quality. Am I dreaming?

Palace in the Blood 09 Jan 18 9.02pm
The injuries of last night I think are going to change our plans. Instead of 2 or 3 players We may be looking at 5 or 6. I would have thought we will look at a GK at about £3 million. A centre back at about £8 million. A winger from lower leagues at £2 million. A defensive midfielder at £3-5 million (possibly 10 if we go for Coquelin). A striker at £10-£15 million. We may also look at getting some rough diamonds from lower leagues other clubs of our sort of size are looking at players around £1 million to give squad depth eg Colchester United attacker Sammie Szmodics. I also think we may sell or Loan players like KaiKai

Think you might be right, seems the quantity of players may have increased. No real reports of us looking at wingers yet though but more dedicated midfielders have been linked. I've updated the list below. I'd say it's four players out of the below now maybe pushing the budget to 40 mill.
