Barnes' output puts him to shame this season. Would be surprised if any club pays what palace want for him. Put Barnes in Palace's squad and then let's see his numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got plenty of experience in the squad, I don't think them having played in the division before should be a prerequisite tbh - Maddison for example has been infinitely more successful for us as a piece of business than Ayoze has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point but if you look at players like Buendia, Grealish etc there's plenty of examples of players playing in poor teams who provide more goal contributions the Zaha. I just don't think he does enough for the hype but it's just my opinion. Below is Zahas stats from his premier league career so far, I know stats don't tell the full story but I still thought it was interesting. https://www.premierleague.com/players/4539/Wilfried-Zaha/stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 I agree but I can’t remember the last palace striker who was number one choice I thought was good and would get 15/20 a season! Stick zaha in a team with a goal scorer (vardy and kelechi) is like to think his assists would go up! having said that he strikes me as abit greedy and all about him which is not what we after in the side. Also his goal scoring conversion rate can’t be very good! He does create quite a few of his own chance though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be looking at more experienced professionals, rather than players with great potential. The young players have struggled with the pressurised occasions, getting over the line and in the semi final at Villa Park. I just feel like too many players go missing in these situations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't buy into this theory that Premier League experience is some panacea for success. The squad now has considerably more Premier League experience than the one that won the league, we aren't any better as a side for it. It's more important we identify the right players and the right characters to be successful here regardless, Doucoure by all accounts is half-arsing it at Watford and isn't the type of person I fancy kicking about for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS78UK Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Should be trying our hardest to get some more experience and depth into the team. Personally think we need quality, experience and players with a point to prove. Danny Ings from Southampton Chris Smalling from Man Utd Leroy Sane from Man City (ok lacks experience but we can all dream alittle, this kid looked the real deal a couple of seasons ago, heading to Germany sadly).

TJB-fox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 1 hour ago, Miquel The Work Geordie said: Wouldn't touch any of Watford's players with a bloody bargepole bar Sarr and that'd have to be if the price was right (£15 million odd). A pretty sensible fan of their's was on Talksport before Sunday's games saying they've a fair few promising kids who they want in the side, genuinely didn't seem at all bothered about anyone leaving apart from Foster. Likewise, Norwich. They're catastrophically bad - signings like Buendia or Cantwell would add nothing to us, I don't think they're better than what we have. Max Aarons would probably be worth a punt, Jamal Lewis too, but they're full backs - we don't need full backs. David Brooks is the only player from the three that dropped that I think would really light up here and could go for Maguire type cash were we to ever move him on, and even he has a big question mark hovering over him. He's fantastic but seems to have the structural integrity of a bloody trifle. Personally think best thing to do when you go down is rip the team up get the so called big players(earners) out and start fresh. I loved what pearson did here on both spells where he had a clear out of the squad he inherited and filled it with young hungry players. If I were Watford I’d use this as an opportunity to get rid of a lot of the shite they’ve bought over the past few years and buy into a younger, more British based squad.

HybridFox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Wilfred Zaha is the standout realistic option for the winger we desperately need. Not everyone's cup of tea but definitely an upgrade on what we've got and he will create chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 How much are people expecting us to spend this summer? Zaha would literally eat most of our transfer budget, and then we've still got to sign another CB, potentially another striker, potentially another winger and potentially another midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were the case I'd be trying to sell someone to raise funds, the obviois choice being Chilwell. £50-60m and use thst on 2 stand out players and a few bosmans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 It's going to be tricky signing Spanish based players. They won't be able to come over for talks unless they are prepared to isolate for two weeks and I'm not sure we should be sending negotiators over there.

sdb Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 Christ. OK, who is available on a free then? Sarr? Fraser? Surely both highly courted. Any other decent players...?? Really hope we do splash out on a winger and/or centre half. The market is weak for a change. Take one (small and potentially season changing) risk!
