    Conor Gallagher

    I don't think this will happen as we've left it too late as always, but we desperately need young, homegrown players so bringing in the likes of Johnson, Eze and Gallagher is almost a necessity at this point. Gallagher is a good, if not great player, but his attitude seems brilliant and I...

    Wout Faes

    I didn't watch a load of Leicester games last season but every time I did, this bloke was utterly terrible. I'd love to know what data signals him as a target.

    Eberechi Eze

    Brilliant player but in light of Caicedo moving for £110m and Paqueta likely moving for £90m+, surely Palace would be asking a small fortune. Prior to those moves I was already thinking it'd be £70m, now we're probably talking £80m+. Is he that effective on the left wing also? I always thought...

    Harry Kane

    This is thoroughly depressing. We should be replacing Kane with a big name, a huge signing to get fans excited again - it doesn't even need to be a striker necessarily. This player should have already been lined up. I have zero confidence we'd pay the sort of fee required to buy a top player...

    Harry Kane

    It's just all pretty sad really isn't it? I named my son after Harry Kane, my Liverpool supporting wife didn't clock it until it was too late. Not even got Winksy to fall back on now. At least when Palacios left us, I could lie and say my dog was named after the ball in Castaway...

    Gift Orban

    I'm simultaneously excited by Orban, who definitely passes the eye test, and feeling that we really ought to be replacing Kane with a bigger name and a more established player. It's just such a massive leap with no guarantees that he makes it as even a competent Premier League striker, never...

    Harry Kane

    No matter what happens, it's hard not to think this has massively impacted on our preseason preparations on and off the pitch. I hope Kane immediately comes out and declares his love for the club and that he's staying. The reality is, this is going to rumble on and we probably won't even have...

    Eberechi Eze

    Brilliant player who I would imagine would come with a price tag to match. Can't see Palace selling him for less than £60-70m, especially if they're potentially losing Olise as has been rumoured.

    Gift Orban

    I wonder how Scarlett would fare in Belgium, and indeed how he compares to Orban. You'd assume our scouting/data teams would know, but in the event we did bring in Orban and wanted to keep him at the club, I think sending Scarlett there on loan as part of the deal could be a good thing for all...

    Gift Orban

    Exactly, especially if the rumours of the fee being relatively low are true. All the evidence suggests the kid is going to explode, so whether he does that in our first team or out on loan thereby increasing his value, we'd be winning either way.

    Harry Kane

    I'm not emotionally prepared for this. Whilst we're not and never have been the Harry Kane team, you see Kane and you think of Tottenham, you see Tottenham and you think of Kane. It's so sad that the media and social media have created this environment where he believes trophies (apparently...

    Harry Kane

    We weren't able to negotiate a fee we were happy with for Raya, who only had 12 months left on his contract. I'd feel fairly certain any negotiation for Toney would be painful.

    Harry Kane

    So, we're either allowed a good attack or a good defence, just not both at the same time. In any case, if that ITK is true, it still doesn't explain why we've not signed one CB already. I'm hoping it's not true because it's really tin pot behaviour. Buy the defenders we need and maybe, just...

    Harry Kane

    Makes perfect business sense to sell Kane now, but I don't support a business, I support a football team. Hate this idea that *if* we sell Kane, we can go out and buy a centre back or two. Why can we only do that if we sell our greatest ever player? We're not poor. We should be buying those...

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    Devil's advocate here but you could argue it's unethical to be dealing with Saudi clubs as well, but none of the top European clubs seem to have a problem with that.

    Wilfried Zaha

    Ah OK, I don't mind that at all. If anything I think we're probably a bit too nice on the pitch and don't really engage in the dark arts enough. I took it to mean you were questioning his professionalism or something.

    Wilfried Zaha

    I think he'd improve us and be a very effective winger in Ange's system for a season or two, but at almost 31 and with his likely wage demands, we and he have probably missed the boat now. He's in a similar situation to Kane really, except that Harry has never relied on pace or athleticism so...

    Wilfried Zaha

    Genuine question: what's wrong with his attitude? I've never heard anyone question it before.

    Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

    Can't help but think that the Mount situation isn't helping us here. For me, Maddison is the superior player, so with Chelsea holding out for £65m for Mount, it stands to reason that Leicester wouldn't want far off that for Maddison even though he's a couple of years older. I'm hoping it...

    Player Alex Scott

    Would Devine actually tell his mate that signing for us is a good idea? Both are highly regarded but Scott has kicked on precisely because he's been given the first team opportunities that Devine hasn't. I've not seen enough of him to know if we should sign him or not, but I don't think him...
