So even before the last kick of the ball has taken place
the beloved journo’s are talking up Palace players to be poached

So some of it could be true ,some plane old journo needing to fill in his quota or Agents filling journo’s full of BS

So how do we keep :
Mitchell,Andersen & Guehi ?
Zaha,Olise,Ebs

Those that can go :
Milo , Eduardo

Who would you let go ?

Forever Palace Proud

Out: Edouard, Mateta, Tomkins, Milivojevic, Reidewald, Butland

In: New striker, New right back, New Midfielder, replacement for Wilf if he leaves, Jesrun RS, Killian Phillips,

I think it is just as important to know when to sell as when to buy, if 2/3 clubs are wanting Guehi, and willing to pay 60/70m for him, i would certainly accept it, but i wouldn't sell any of the other key players, maybe we have Nelson from Galatasary lined up or Bella-Kotchap.

I can see both Arsenal and Spurs making low ball offers. As you say why go to Arsenal to be an understudy and if he wants to win trophies Spurs is the last place I would go.

Unless a big club comes in with a decent offer and a guarantee of a first team place he is better off staying with us.

One more point

It might not be the type of chat that many are comfortable with. Or used to, as we've never really had many players that other clubs wanted.

But for us to progress we need to have a squad full of players that bugger clubs want. We either hold and enjoy their talents, or sell and reinvest in the next one.

I obviously don't want to see any go, but selling 1 good player a season will give us the funds to reinvest in the team.

If we can sell 1 for 70m and bring in a couple of others it works for me.

Edouard is on c£90k a week and we paid over £15m for him. Can't see anyone matching those wages and offering maybe a £10m transfer fee. To a lesser extent Mateta is on the same boat - and surely you can't get rid of the only 2 out and out strikers you have.

Reidewald is also under contract for 1 more year and seems happy to take his inflated wages and play very little football. IMHO will go back to Holland in 12 months on a free transfer and get paid about 1/3 of what he's on now.

Palace had 9 players out of contract this summer - 2, Ayew and Jeff S, have signed extensions so that leaves 7.

The general consensus os that only 1 RB will be renewed, probably Ward.
The 7 are - Wilf, Luka, Clyne, Jimmy Mac, Tomkins, Fergie and Butland (who seems to have agreed a deal with Rangers).

If anyone wants Guehi, Eze or Olise it would need to be for silly money. Additionally the player will need to ask for a move (or make noises in the background).
