Player Suggestion Championship players you'd buy

[ChipButtyBlade]

It’s a tough one. Let’s say we return/release 7-8 players then we might be looking at a £30m budget. We could bring in 4-5 players at a few million a pop, but at PL level you really are in unknown territory as to whether you unearth a gem. Or we could go big on a couple of marquee signings - I’d be looking at 2 from James/Bowen and/or Maupay/Adams. The risk is this could leave the squad exposed unless we’ve inventive with the remaining budget and loan market.

If you compare say Crystal Palace with Cardiff or Huddersfield, Palace have survived comfortably largely on their forward line. It’s rapid and they can all finish. And rumour is they are quids in on selling some of them this summer.

Doing a “low-budget” Fulham and bloating the squat with 7-8 new players isn’t the way to go for me. A couple of “statement of intent” signings with a couple of punts might be our best chance.

I heard on MOTD that Palace have a very very good away record (top four iirc) that will stem from being able to counter attack with pace and quality.

Palace have survived because they're in London.

Not read all the thread, so someone else might have suggested it already but I heard on radio sheff today that the pigs had let Hooper go. I know he's had injury problems (so had McGoldrick for the last 3 seasons before we got him) but I've always thought he was a decent striker, surely worth a punt on a free plus his wages would be low in Prem terms.

I think/hope we can do a lot better

I'd have Forestieri on reasonable wages.

Good grief!

Of the players mentioned in that article, I’d rather we signed Nick Powell tbh...

Controversial opinion:

Freeman in the Premier League would be like Holmes in the Championship

I look forward and hope for some egg in my face!

Welcome Luke Freeman
