Would it?

That would leave us with

10 - Maddison / Lo Celso
8 - Sarr / Bentancur
6 - Bissouma / Skipp

the 6 and 8 roles are pretty interchangeable among those players but it still means we have 6 players for 3 positions. One more would be overkill imo.

Definitely need one more in my opinion. We lack a controller/passer from deep.

I’m sure if we did we’d have had half the people on here saying it was a good signing and half the people saying it was unambitious.
In fairness, if the Alex Scott thread has told us one thing, it's that 90% of the forum is behind snapping up the most talented English players from the championship.

I'd like to see Gil for the right side. I think he's another who will fit better the technical on the ground play. He's not exactly slow either. Eze is good but not sure where he fits. I think we're well covered out wide with Perisic, Son, Soloman, Kulusevski and Gil.

I remember everyone saying we would go back for him in a few years for 50m when he first signed for Palace, good player and fun to watch.

a wide range of thoughts on what we now need to complete the squad, with Kane money.

Eze can pass and carry and is now obviously an 8 not a wide man.

Would use a big chunk of the Kane change on him, and the rest on Orban, if we’re not going to spend on a more established striker to compete with Richarlie

I’d assume if we sold Kane and Hojbjerg then Orban, Eze and one of Silva/Tapsoba/Schuurs could be viable. While I’d hate losing Kane that would be reosnable.

It will be interesting to see where Bentancur will play. I thought Skipp would play deep but he's playing the box to box role. I thought Hojbjerg would play box to box but he's playing the deep role.

He does provide a wide option also - as do Maddison and Lo Celso, but unlike these two is far more suited to beating a player one on one in an advanced position rather than passing round. Similar position, different profile. More agile and I’d argue versatile.

Would be suicide for Palace to sell him now. With Zaha gone he's their new talisman and best hope of actually doing anything remotely decent this season.

Yeah what kind of amateur teams consider selling their star player right as the season starts!

:cautious:

we seem to have enough attackers in an already bloated squad

I could only see Eze happening if Gio or the like are off

More links with Eze today.
Probs just rumours but he’s a n.o10 isn’t he not a RW so really don’t see why we’d need him.

Really really top exciting player though but not really what we need imo.

Big clubs always need multiple good players. We shouldn’t balk if we have others like Maddison.

Only if it prevents a striker and CB should we pull back.

If we get him it's because CAA Base have been pushing heavily.

A quality player yes but he's a luxury given we are well stocked in that area.

Must target a forward and a top drawer CB (Silva or Tapsoba).
