trappatoni Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 It'll be interesting to see what our strategy is. Will we look longer term and spend money on young prospects who may then generate a profit or will we look to established players on frees again who are likely to command higher wages and have little sell on but will mean less initial outlay while we wait for our academy to start producing.

I’ve been pondering the same and think we’ll see something in between. I think in general we’ll see more players in that 22-28 year old age bracket but will probably retain some of the older heads in the current squad with one or two new signings with experience. I think ultimately as we’ve seen this season it’s the blend in the squad and how they complement each other that’s key more so than just a focus on age.

He’d be an interesting signing, not sure what his career has been like the last couple of years but he has prem and international pedigree right?

He went to Arsenal to be back up then onto Real sociedad to be back up also. Copenhagen then signed him and was good so AZ Alkmaar signed him in January 2023 where he’s been good with 61 games getting 12 clean sheets in 26 games this season.

MadAmster Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I know we can't afford his wages (unless he's pocketed enough during 7 PL seasons) but Will Hughes contract runs out this summer. Would you welcome him back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that Palace intend to trigger a clause in his contract to keep him at the club for the 2024-5 season. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Been told the budget for the summer is good from recent sales and that there is no need to sell any players to buy.

S8TY Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just seen this that Tuanazebe is out of contract but thought Ipswich had signed him ? he’s very good imo and if we lost Cash I’d be in for him hes not far off of prem league quality though and be surprised if tractor boys don’t keep him for prem Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
