I get your point (no need for insults though) but on the other hand all the top 6 teams have players who are not really top 6 quality.
Looks like it's a done deal after all then...
Next summer Chelski will them offer £90m for him

Gruda or not, WTAF are we up to?
We need a winger so obviously.
if you do that why not play 3 CH's
A good DM is like a CH to be fair, just slightly more advanced than the two but playing a similar role
sorry I forgot they also signed that young kid from gooner scum thats meant to be shit hot. They're definitely selling someone.
It also got me thinking about ball carrying attacking players that can beat their man and how vital it is. Brighton now have 5 in their squad ffs (6 actually because pedro can also do that).
City have Doku and Oscar Bobb
Woolwich Saka and Martinelli
Liverpool Jota and Diaz
Newcastle Gordon and Almiron
Chelsea Neto, Madueke, Mudryk and Palmer/sterling at a push
United Garnacho and Amad
Spammer Bowen, Kudus, Summerville and that Brazilian winger they just signed.
You need at least 2 and we have zero ffs (son at a push and Moore but I mean he's a kid). Johnson is better running onto the ball, same with Werner and Kulu is better with ball at feet but doesn't have necessary pace.
With no real links to anyone in particular, it looks like the club are, still waiting on some movement with Eze.
Levy is gambling on palace folding, going into the final week. If not then, a scramble to get someone in last minute will take place.

So you think Johnson is as good as Williams or anywhere near it?
There’s a fair chance one of the top six pays his release
Stats being totally and utterly pointless again.

As I understand it we're fine for HG but only have 2 CT. As a result we will have to leave 3 of our current players out of the Euro squad. And we will only have a 23 man squad for Euro.
Which means we should probably sell or loan out 3 more (not Skipp as HG), rather than keeping them as 3rd- or 4th in line depth for domestic games only, which would mean virtually no playing time for them.
If we bring in one or two more upgrades then that would give us one or two more to shift.

We are considered one of the top six, if the club are not careful, they will have another Neto situation on their hands.
There is around two and a half weeks until window shuts, it's about time the club made a decision and bring the final pieces of the jigsaw into the squad.
and another one
Around caffeine time apparently.
Palace don’t need the money, do not want to sell under any circumstance, will not lower the price or lower the up front fee, do not have any FFP restrictions. Why would Levy think they would ’fold’ to sell their most important player?
Yes, the game is won by scoring more goals than your opponent as a team.
What good is it if Son, Solanke and Johnson put up good stats but we come 6th?
The reality is no matter what the stats tell you about all of our attacking players last season, we clearly lacked something up there in our build up play.
Johnson isn’t a great presser, isn’t a particularly good tracker of runnners, doesn’t beat a man one on one and isn’t great at retaining the ball under pressure. All this matters even when assessing goals and assists.
Like Son, he’s an elite off ball runner and has been really effective at that. Unfortunately, having 2 wide players with the same limitations is extremely limiting, again, for the team.
20% of our goals and assists or not, we need a different profile of a player in the wide areas. They may not get 20% of our goals and assists, but if they improve the team and push us up the table (which the right player would absolutely do) it really doesn’t matter.
A good example of this was Firminho for liverpool in their pomp. They could have upgraded his goal output at any time, but what he brought to the team was more important than individual stats.
I’ve used the term before but simply saying “he got 20 of our goals and assists” is reductive.
What matters is what the team needs to make us better.
