Originally posted by dreamwaverider I am hoping the Wharton deal goes through as I can see Olise Eze Guehi Andersen and Doucoure going this summer. Dougie will need to be on his best form spending £200m plus to replace them. There is no way we will let all five go in the summer. Doucoure will probably stay as clubs will want to see how he's recovered from a serious injury. Only one of Guehi and Andersen will be allowed to go. Eze is moving into his prime years (he'll be 26 before the start of next season) and this coming Summer is probably the timed we will get the best value for him if he wants to go. As for Olise, if his new contract has the same release terms as his previous ones then he'll go when he feels the right offer has come at the right time which may well be this Summer, especially: 1. if as is being put about, he is a Man U fan and they want him and 2. Ratcliffe and Brailsford are getting the United set-up sorted. IMO a maximum of 3 of those 5 could leave this Summer.

There is no way Palace (or any club (unless in financial dire straits)) would sell their 5 best players in one window esp when at least 2 are under long contracts and and another may not be fit for start of next season. They may meet the new manager and be very impressed with him and we could make a couple of signings to compliment them. A few of them have release clauses so no choice also people have forgotten that most of the listed names have sell on fees at around 25% to former clubs as well. (VPN) - [Link] (Alt VPN) - [Link]

Very good read! I think most educated football watchers understand the reason why Rodri is the first name on Pep’s team sheet! It’s not that he’s the best, most flashy etc but he’s the most vital to structure and formation that allows the studs to play their best football! Games aren’t won on paper or articles but excited we might have another good prospect in our squad! I like the fact that we have two 19 year olds with potential (Franca and Wharton) in our ranks that could lessen the blow if we decide to take and reinvest the $100M that sales of Olise and Doucourre would bring! I’m definitely not up for selling but it’s a business and we had better plan accordingly!

Originally posted by Painter So you think, if we buy Wharton, then we will sell our 5 best players in the summer? You need a lie down mate, it’s never going to happen, one maybe will go. Just back from the gym. Still nothing? Hmmm.Hope we hear later. In the ideal world, they will all stay, we will be bought out, Klopp will arrive and the year after next we will be in Champions league while our new stadium is being built at Crystal Palace. The old Palace will be reinstated as a shopping centre and an AI sports medical clinic that I will need to make good use of by then along with our crook players.!! Oh, and Painter I am having a little lie down as I type!!

I think it’s important for our rebuilding that two of our high value players go in the summer and perhaps one each summer after that If Wharton is as good as expected then we will probably keep him a couple of years and hopefully he will join the list of high value players with sell on potential. IMO it will be Olise and either Andersen or Guehi. That money will have to be used wisely because in all probability we will be having to replace both of those positions (Rak Sakhi, Franca to step up in place of Olise maybe), but we’ll need another CH (to replace Tomkins) and another midfielder to replace Riedewald who I would think we will let go . It’s also about time that we bought a specialist left winger to properly replace Zaha if Ebiowei is not considered up to it.

Hoping to hear some news about this from Palace. Ever since Flynn Downes was hijacked by West Ham, I never feel comfortable until the team announces the signing.
