You could even add Ayew to the list since we seem to miss him when he's not playing but whether he'll fit the new style, particularly when he'll be 33 next season, is another matter.
As to who stays could it come down to how much they buy into/enjoy OG's way of playing and a positive crowd reaction rather than just assuming certain of them will actively want to leave? If we can win a few games the feeling around the club will be so different.

I think Olise will go in the summer if he regains his fitness and plays a few games before the end of the season .

One of the best we have had at the club but the new manager will need some funds and he will provide it

Guehi is probably another highly saleable asset that will go for the right money and the rumours around Johnstone is a worry

The rest we should be able to keep hold of

Guehi is favourite to go, only 2 years left on his 5 year contract, this summer would achieve his optimum price, if selected for Euros.
Eze and Olise signed new deals last summer and are injured a lot, so I doubt anyone would take a chance offering big money, same for Doucoure.
So, only I will go, plus Edouard.

I thought Franca had a very good game yesterday and can see him becoming a star very soon.

Talking of star players, I read Eze is nearly fully fit but I have become paranoid that he might get injured again if even slightly rushed back. By god I’d love him to feature against Spurs but should we err on the side of caution and only look to play him for the Luton game?

For what it’s worth I think we should try everything at our disposal to keep both Eze and Olise next season even if it means doubling salaries. If we have to sell a few to balance the books, I would reluctantly free Guehi , Edouard and Henderson.

I am very pleased to see JW back in the team. However, in terms of key players we need to keep, he is 34, MG is 23.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

What I think will be interesting is when all injuried players are back, were will they play?

If Glasner sticks with (for me a 3-4-3)

Start with the easy Guehi in for Ward (even though been solid last two games)

But do you drop Ayew for Olise? Or one of Lerma or Wharton for Doucoure.

Where does Eze fit into the system?

Just look at the players out of contract as well at the end of the season

Hughes, Schlupp, Riedewald, Clyne, Ward, Ferguson, Tomkins, I would not keep any of them. Now does that change who we let go in the summer.

Now if Olise has a clause and its activated well there isn't much we can do, if Guehi doesn't sign a new deal then again in the summer we have to let him if a proper offer comes in, Doucoure again if a big offer comes in.

Will Glasner risk the youth and find a gem? Who knows, its will be a long and interesting summer. Never boring being a Palace fan
