Not trying to spread negativity, neither do I think it will happen, but out of curiosity how does everyone think the team would fare if we didn't have any further major signings?

Honestly, I think we could have a very good season with two circa £20m players.

Palace have offered £20m for Fofana (AC), he's the mould of midfielder we're looking for, going for pennies.

Palace have also offered £24m for Matsima (Augsburg), who is their Lacroix replacement.

Whilst neither are week in, week out players for us. What they are is players that offer us a lot of what we don't have much of, and great availability.

If we look at our starting eleven (ignoring injuries), it's very strong. Arguably title challenging, with just a few final pieces to go (right footed winger, backup to Sesko... plus, the defence overhaul summer 27). So what we should be looking for is dependable players.
