I'm sure the club would love to sell Chilwell and Sterling but there's very little chance anyone wants to buy them at this stage of their careers. Wonder if one or both might be used in deals we intend to do? Money + Sterling for Olise for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room to improve, physically very different to what we have currently, probably wouldn't cost the Earth, could loan or sell players the other way as part of the deal. Ticks quite a few boxes as an option He does. The only downside is that he's another young player with limited experience, that will need some time to adjust. Not sure how we would get a better (long term) striker cheaper than his £42m release clause. Makes more sense to me than Osimhen or Toney. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the club would love to sell Chilwell and Sterling but there's very little chance anyone wants to buy them at this stage of their careers. Hall's not really a LB from what I have seen and know, IIRC there was never any confirmation he did sign a new deal (reporting was it was going to be signed before the Palace loan, which didn't happen), and he's on record as wanting to go when Newcastle came calling. He chose it over first team PL football at Palace. I don't understand the fascination with letting Hall go being a problem, not right now anyway. He's young and perhaps within a year or two he'll be doing something that really shows us up. But nothing yet, not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might be good enough that if there's a chance to get him, you go for it. I daresay that he, Madueke etc could play on either wing and as 10s (or even as strikers) to a reasonably effective level. He certainly looks a good enough player to do that. I can also see Palace doing some deals this summer relating to what they get beyond money for their talent. Fair to say that on current form there will be significant interest in Mateta, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell, Olise, Eze and Wharton. Whilst they'll dig their heels in and won't want to lose all of them, if they are offered good money and can get players out of the deals for the players they lose then i can see them doing a lot of business. Would anyone be against £40m + Broja or Sterling for Olise for example? Or a swap Chilwell for Mitchell? Or one of our younger lads like Santos, Hutchinson or Angelo on loan there for a year as part of the deal for either of those players? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim Anderson would be right up there for me, in terms of CB targets. Really like him and he ticks literally every box. Olise had Liverpool written all over him.

Ham Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I think time will tell that the major investments over the past 2 windows have been wise. I don't see the news for major surgery this summer. Just a few outgoings and a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see the talent with Madueke and Jackson, who still has that lack of composure at times and needs to work on decision making, but there’s positives. Just moments of frustration though like when he didn’t square it early enough yesterday, but I’m really hopeful with him. May have said some harsh words about Badiashile a couple of weeks ago in frustration which I regret. I don’t like him starting alongside Disasi, that’s the thing, he looks better alongside Chalo and Silva definitely.

He’s got a tendency to let the attacker run from behind him and get that vital yard. Needs to be aware and concentrate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
