IMO i think a club will stump up the 60m for Olise and Guehi will go for about 80+, so a few players needed, i would loan out Hendersen for a season, and loan an adequate replacement, he needs to play but not for us, even without Olise and Guehi it leaves a decent starting 11 for next season before 3 or 4 are added: +++++++++++++Johnstone++++++++++++ ++++Ward+++Andersen+++Richards++++ Munoz++Doucoure++Wharton++Mitchell +++++++++Eze+++++++Franca+++++++++ +++++++++++++Mateta+++++++++++++++ Ayew, Edouard Ozah, Lerma, Amahada, Rak-Sakyi, Phillips, Holding, Rodney, Imray Needed, LWB, CD, CAM, CF, maybe? “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

With the greatest of respect, I do not envisage any clubs willing to pay £80 Mill+ for Guehi. He is simply not worth that amount of money, far from it.

Now does that change who we let go in the summer. Now if Olise has a clause and its activated well there isn't much we can do, if Guehi doesn't sign a new deal then again in the summer we have to let him if a proper offer comes in, Doucoure again if a big offer comes in. Will Glasner risk the youth and find a gem? Who knows, its will be a long and interesting summer. Never boring being a Palace fan Yes you drop Ayew for Olise. When fit the latter has contributed as high a rate of goal contributions as about anyone in the league Eze replaces Eduardo as the left-sided player behind Mateta. Assuming Wharton develops he partners Doucoure. Lerma played well yesterday but that was his best for a while Assuming they keep three at the back, I would keep Ward as we need numbers - especially if Guehi leaves. There are no standout central defenders in reserve but Raymond could be the Munoz backup, Hughes is the only other I would consider but even then he should only be on the subs bench when we have injuries -unless the new medical staff work a miracle with Ferguson

I dont doubt several clubs will look at MG - However, in terms of getting big money for him, against him remains the issue of his height - Marc is just 6ft tall - which doesn't help give us an extra edge when defending crosses - The big money central defenders have that extra height - Harry Maguire is 6ft 4 - VVD is 6ft 5 Originally posted by Lanzo-Ad He will because, 1 he is English, 2 4/5 major clubs want him, 3 Maguire

Harry Maguire is 6ft 4 -

A lot of fans would define Eze and Guehi as key players. On the assumption that they are both fit to return next week, it will be interesting to see what Glasner does. Is he a manager who works on the principle that you don't change a winning team? Glasner is still new to us and is still familiarising himself with the squad so we shall have to see. Personally I would bring them both back, but it's difficult e.g for Ward/Richards who have both done well.

I can see it happening & for the team its probably the best solution, but I do feel it would be a shame as Richards seems to be gaining confidence & with it contributes more each game - Originally posted by Willo I really do not envisage Glasner dropping Richards.

He might also have a different view of substitutes and squad rotation to try and keep players fresher. It seems odd that we've gone from not having enough cover to almost too many players to accommodate.
