Talking Selhurst

  Crystal Palace are notorious for their lack of big money transfer windows. Free agents and loans normally dominate the in-comings with Benteke, Sakho and Eze being the exceptions of large expenditure. Erdal Rakip and Jaroslaw Jach have been the type of player we have been come to expect in previous windows. That is not to say that the likes of Vicente Guaita, Jack Butland and Gary Cahill haven't been an exceptional bit of business from the club. But with the contracts of several senior members drawing to a close, and the squad age creeping up to fatal levels, it is clear that serious investment is needed to bring the squad age down and to provide the team with creativity, energy and fight. In this post, I will be exploring just some of the names we have been linked with, who I personally would like to see come through the doors at Selhurst Park and the impact they could have on the team for the coming season.
