Too much of a mouthful.
What doesn’t make sense is the links to various wide forwards if the intention is to play 352. It could be that due to the lack of availability, he may switch to 352 and sign players best suited to this formation. Frank could however try and deploy a Pep system where he plays only one wing back with a wide forward in a wing back position on the other side.
Should we sign Eze, then a 352 would be the best way to factor both Eze and Maddison into the team. It will be interesting if the plan is to play 1 or 2 strikers.

That is the difference between them and us right now though. We won't be spending 100m on any player any time soon.
Then we sell for big money to wherever he wants to go, or if we have bridges the gap somehow we don’t sell and build a side around him.
Man City and Liverpool aren’t coming for him this summer - so his choice would seemingly be go to Spurs or stay at Palace - play CL or play Europa, earn more or earn less.
We’re not as unattractive as you seem to think we are
Who is throwing Gray on the scrap heap? What are we saying here, don’t sign a fantastic player as it might force Gray to up his game to get into his preferred position?
Gray could learn off Wharton for a couple of seasons before his big move to Bayern/Real/City. Or he could step up and displace him, or they could play together, or he ends up at RB. The club has to keep moving forwards

I agree with you mate but if you say that obvious fact on here there are posters who will sidetrack the debate into the minutiae of every different financial detail of our transfer history under these owners.
Instead, let’s just agree that even for the kind of money we can spend, we should be targeting a frontline #6 instead of Norgaard who is a very solid PL CM on a mid table team to come in and provide depth. We have the depth in Bentancur or Bissouma depending on which one stays
I can’t see why either club is after a 31 year old DM - his legs could go at any time
Nordgaard, too old, too average, would be my verdict. Not a bad player though (for the likes of Brentford, West Ham etc.)

But why does he want to this Summer? This is the point I'm trying to make - there's nothing suggesting that he wants out of Palace now, why can't he stay at Palace for another year or two then eventually leave and get to move to a team of his choice?
Also you know full well that we won't sell him for big money to wherever he wants, it's going to be a team abroad and that's only when he parts on our terms, Kane has to run his contract down to get a move and Bale refused to turn up for training, both sold for big money, Romero can't get out of his contract unless Atletico pay big - that's not even remotely attractive to any up and coming players who genuinely think they can use us as a stepping stone, not to mention that we don't pay particular well compared to others clubs he could potentially sign for.
I don't think we're an unattractive team to sign for by the way in the main, but when you weigh it up with the options he could potentially have on the table we aren't close to that at all.
Hojbjerg is far superior overall player to Noorgard and we deemed him not good enough.
I'm not even factoring in age, ability wise I don't think Noorgard is that good.

37 goals in the last 2 seasons playing for premier league clubs against mostly premier league clubs (all comps) Vs a decent Coventry player who's done well in a very poor league.
Carlos Vinicius, Soldado and Vincent Jansen are turning in their graves.
Experience, I guess
What?
Gray needs mins, if Wharton signs then he'll likely take his mins, how the fek is he actually learning sitting on the bench lol
I am saying that there's 0 point in investing in a player like Gray, who, by the way was being talked up in the same breath as Wharton a year ago then buying Wharton who has now been given a platform at Palace to push on when we haven't really allowed Gray to flourish.
Gray will eventually grow into a good player who is likely to have a similar career trajectory given time.
Apparently Jonathan David is available on a free. And we know how Levy likes a deal !!
Their midfield options will be outstanding. Ours, less said the better.
He played 4-3-3 mostly last season.
