Having lost out on Virgil van Dijk we had a similar opportunity in 2018 with a certain youngster called Haaland. However, as with VVD we turned him down, this time in favour of our goal machine Ayew. Source comes from the Mail so who knows but hilarious if true.

That’s an interesting story, but there has to be some doubt if Haaland would be as prolific at Palace without any service. Originally posted by Eaglecoops

Striker Winger Right Back Sammie Szmodics is an attacking midfielder who scores goals.I believe he cost Blackburn £2.5 Mill when they signed him from Peterborough.One of his outstanding qualities is his tremendous workrate. James Justin is a right-back by trade but is comfortable at left-back and has played a number of games in this position. Edited by Willo (08 Nov 2023 11.54am)

Some interesting options here, and more likely to be within our budget than other names we have been linked with. Originally posted by DANGERCLOSE

Excellent post. Currently we have no natural width, injuries noted. No natural wingers, and no overlapping fullbacks. The fullbacks dare not cross the half way line in support lest they get caught out. A fullback needs pace and stamina to get up and down throughout a game. It's not the current manager's style to press too many players forward at any one time. I've noticed that when the ball is put into the box sharpish Edouard does know where to position himself and stick out a leg to try and get on the end of things. Edited by southnorwoodhill (02 Nov 2023 9.39am) What do you think Mitchell was doing on the edge of the box to score?
