Assuming you need two competent players for every position...

GK - Fine
RB - Ward +1
CB - Tomkins, Dann
CB - Delaney +1
LB - Schlupp +1

CM - Flamini, Cabaye
CM - Ledley, McArthur

RW - Zaha, Townsend
CAM - Puncheon +1
LW - Sako +1

ST - Remy, Benteke

I make that 5, we can probably afford two so will have to ship out as many of Kelly, Fryers, Mutch and CYL if we want more.

Given that there are some interchangeable players in that list - you could say we don't NEED 5, but in an ideal world we would have.

Also, I noticed that you have listed Townsend and Sako as competent. That is admirable positivity.

 


So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

Why is everyone saying the team needs DM?
McArthur has been great this season. McArthur-Cabaye- there's your central midfield.

That midfield is far to weak, I personally think we need a new spine , gk,cb,Def mid,at mid and back up striker along with a LB.

Obviously 8 bids doesn't mean 8 new players. With schlupp through the door, probably seen as a replacement for the departed bolaise. A homesick cabaye and mandada supposed wanting out. Left back is definitely a position that needs strengthening and a commanding midfielder is a must. Would schlupp plus 3 others be enough. Would love hear how other fans feel how many we need?

8 bids?

What? Who? When? Where?

It all depends if we let anyone go.

Cabaye, Mandanda, Townsend, Mutch, Sako, Flamini

These have all been rumoured with moves away. If any of these go, then we could bring in alot more.

LB is a must- anyone of Davies, PvA, Evra, Robertson
DM - desperate need for energy and power in the midfield
AM - someone who guarantees results from dead balls and works hard e.g Snodgrass, Adam or similar type. We have become SO Fkin wasteful from free kicks and corners!

Nothing. But Wiki is your friend.

Agree with this. We also have Flamini, who will be a great player if we can get him fit. Ledley is decent as well.

LB is the priority for me but we've already gone some way to fixing this as Schlopp can play there.

RB would be good too but JW can play that position better than LB.

We're quite thin on strikers given Remy's injury record, if Benteke gets injured we're screwed.

Midfield is ok IMO and if we do get a new LB then you'd probably count Schlopp as another midfielder.
