Can't complain about only having AEG and Trez as wide attacking options then let one go unless bring in multiple replacements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 We just have to remember we can't upgrade every position on the pitch this window. So far we have done: Striker - Watkins Right Back - Cash We roughly have 56 million left to spend if the 100 million transfer budget was true. Left Wing - Rashica Goalkeeper - Martinez This leaves us roughly 8 million left. I would imagine we could pump our budget up to 120 million at a push and get one more player in. For me the priority now would be either central midfield or right wing. Central midfield is only a priority if we don't plan on moving Grealish there.

I wouldn't read too much into all that bollocks to be honest. If they can sign the right quality for the right positions at the right price and within FFP rules they'll do it. We're not going to sign all of Brewster, Rashica, Edouard, King, Traore and Benrahma, there's obviously some bullshit there. I'd think they'll bring in 2 of those, 3 if Grealish ends up leaving but i don't think he will. Otherwise i'd like to think that they'll still be looking at a centre mid as it stands, they'll probably look to offload Lansbury and Jota and maybe Samatta as well as the 2 surplus GK's and then if the rumours are true about the likes of Engels and Nakamba possibly going then i think they'll directly replace those too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8726761/Crystal-Palace-set-win-20m-race-Brentford-star-Said-Benrahma.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ico=taboola_feed_desktop_sport Quote Crystal Palace look to have a clear path to sign Said Benrahma from Brentford after their major rivals pulled out the race to land the winger. Aston Villa and West Ham had also been keen on the 25-year-old but their interest has faded in recent weeks. According to The Sun, that leaves Palace in line for a £20million swoop for the Algerian, with the London club keen to avoid going into a bidding war. Benrahma has been a star at Brentford since joining the club two years ago, proving key to their march into the play-offs last term, but has ambitions on moving up to the Premier League having settled in London With Palace having recently landed another talented forward in Eberechi Eze from QPR, Roy Hodgson's side are hoping picking up the best talent in the Championship that could help them avoid a Premier League relegation battle this term. The Eagles' from plummeted after lockdown to leave them in the lower reaches of mid-table having previously been fighting for a European spot. But while the potential arrival of Benrahma does mean more attacking options on the wing, it does put pressure on the future of the likes of Andros Townsend. Should the finances fit, the Eagles may even be tempted to sell the former England international in a bid to freshen up the faces at Selhurst Park. The report also claims another star could be on his way out of the Eagles dressing room, with Club Brugge lining up a £10million swoop for Christian Benteke. The Eagles got their Premier League campaign off to a perfect start on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinlessWonder Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Meh. If we're signing Rashica and Traore we won't need him and i wouldn't lose any sleep over it. I'm quite sure he won't be any better than those two, probably not as good if anything. Similar situation to 'losing out' on Wilson and then signing Watkins.

Jareth Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Feels weird to say it - but we are looking for better than Benrhama (albeit if Traore rumours are true then we are looking for different to Benrhama). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be nowhere near a relegation battle as long as Hodgson is there. But even with Eze and Benrahma they’ll be grinding out 1-0 wins rather than steamrollering teams.
