With Norwich gone, and Bournemouth and Watford likely to go with them, who would people like to nab from these teams? Callum Wilson would be my choice, although maybe a bit ambitious. Brooks/Fraser from Bournemouth would be amazing. Lewis/Aarons from Norwich could be nice depending on what position Roy classes Ferguson (RB it seems?). Sarr is the only semi-realistic one at Watford that would hugely excite me (although Deeney would be a laugh).

Some might be available on loan, so not to expensive, therefore possible. But if we could only have one. It would have to be the young lad Brooks, from Bournemouth.

Norwich: I'm not necessarily a big fan of spending big on the 3 young defenders Max Aarons, Godfrey and Lewis, but they are interesting players. Same no for Cantwell (not PL quality yet) or for Onel Hernandez (looks amazing, but few accomplishments). Adam Idah would be one I'd bid for. At 19 he is amazing. Aston Villa: They paid a fortune for the central defenders Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa and tehy'd want to recoup,so no for them. But central defender Kortney Hause would cost up to 5 million and is pretty good. Central midfielder John McGinn is very good and will probably stay in the PL,but he is well known and a lot of clubs will bid for him. He also has a contract until 2024, so a high price. Connor Hourihane on the other hand is not that well known and I think that he is a great central midfielder. Less than 3 million should land him, as he is 29 years old and has just 1 more year of contract. As a winger they have El-Ghazi who can play on both sides and even up front, is very tall and fit and a player I actually like. Couldn't possibly cost more than 10 million. Bournemouth: of course, everyone in the PL seems to want Ryan Fraser. He is a player I like and who on only 35000 a week at Bournemouth. He will probably settle for around 60-70.000 a week as an offer,which is not very much for what he offers. I talked before about the left footed winger Harry Wilson and with Bournemouth going down,I doubt they could pay Liverpool their asking price which is above 20 million,even though the lad clearly showed that he a good PL player at just 23 and had a great season as far as I'm concerned. His value will definitely keep growing,so if a settlement with Liverpool could be done at around 15 million, it would be a great deal. The defensive midfielder Lerma is good, but he cost them more than 20 million so they'd want to recoup and I wouldn't pay more than 5 for a defensive midfielder. Danjuma Groenveld was also a good player in Belgium, but cost them 18 million and hardly played due to injury this season. I like John Stacey, the right back, he is young and good for the PL. Wouldn't cost much. David Brooks is definitely well known, but even though he was injured moat of the season,they wouldn't sell the lad cheap. Callum Wilson had a lousy season now,but he is a decent forward. However...as far as I know Bournemouth want dozens of million for him and I'd only take hkm if he were free. Joshua King is not PL quality imo. Sure,a hard working player, but without penalties he'd hardly have goals. Sam Surridge is a very good young center forward who I'd buy from them for a moderate sum. He will develop further. So...in conclusion: right back Stacey, maybe a center back but not necessarily (there are some even free at this hour), Vrancic or Hourihane as central midfielder, Ryan Fraser or El Ghazi as winger, Harry Wilson as left footed winger if a deal with Liverpool could be reached, the very ypung Idah or Sam Surridge as center forward, to be loaned out and develop.

I wonder if we may take a punt on Jordan Ibe. Released and a free agent from Bournemouth. Has always been recognised as having potential which he has never quite fulfilled but on a free transfer, no compensation fee, still relatively young could act as cover on the wings, a position we are short of cover for. Feels like a very Palace signing.

Let's wait and see who actually goes down and then we can speculate tomorrow evening. Then next week we can see how quickly players from the relegated clubs are picked up by other EPL teams and whether we cam actually get in there and win one before all the decent ones are gone!

Feels like a very Palace signing. No time for such experiments at Palace. The experiments are already here and are called Meyer, Schlupp etc. Imagine taking on Jordon Ibe on top of these with only 4 side midfielders in the squad, Zaha possibly sold and Townsend not doing well

He is nowhere’ near the most talented in the squad but he was certainly missed when he was injured, is the player who carries the ball forward at pace. Also has PL winners medal

If I had to choose just one player from the expected relegated teams, it would be David Brooks.
