The Guardian has highlighted some of the best players from Luton, Burnley and Sheffield Utd. Palace, of course, picked up Andersen after Fulham got relegated and I'm sure Dougie and co are considering some of these. To my mind Doughty is the obvious target. A late developer, although still only 24, he was with Charlton and then moved on to Stoke for under a million pounds. He did not start a game for them and was transferred to Luton in the summer of 2022, He first played for them in October of that year and has been an first choice since then. Assuming up to two assisters per goal, he has 19 for the season which is a remarkable figure for a relegated team. To put it in context, Gordon leads the league with 23 and Doughty exceeds the likes of Fernandes and Maddison. Olise with 11, in restricted appearances, tops the Palace charts

Luton got relegated with 85 goals conceded whilst we were 5th best with only 58. Mitchell was the 4th best tackler in the EPL and best English player. Doughty would probably be an upgrade on Ayew who will be 33 next September and consigned to the bench.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

A valid point to some extent but Liverpool were a top team with players who did not need to defend as much as we do and will need to do. Tyrick has proved himself as a defender and is improving as an attacker. Roberson is a good but not great defender and is more in the TAA bracket with his attacking prowess. I have no problem with Doughty signing but see him more as a replacement for Ayew as his stats are similar in tackles, assists and goals. His strong point is that Ayew was dispossessed 79 times but Doughty only 13. He is a lot younger and can help out in defence if needed.
