Listening to RH the other day , what he says is so right and worrying . His point was that after just 3 weeks in charge he could see that the squad was 4 players short . Today we have lost
Dann / Puncheon rest of season Schlupp Probably end season RLC Looks long term Sakho No idea but in all honesty he is always going to miss games Townsend End of month ? In addition I'm sure RH is concerned with Bakery Sako and Tomkins as both have history of missing games . So we at least need 4 to cover losses and by RH logic we need 8 now ! Sure he said that any that come in have to be ready to hit ground running if needed . So many names banded about but not sure any would be ready to go straight into first team . In all probability most mentioned are just press speculation with no substance . It is a concern though that we are down to about 12 first teamers with no one else really being able to step up . |

I certainly would have expected 2 in by now. 30 minutes to sign anyone to be eligible for tomorrow i believe.

After tomorrow we have a 10 day gap - expect our business to pick up then. Maybe.

Lets face it the club will often get a few bits of business done early in the summer window until there's some sort of deflating rubbish final transfer day and mostly the Jan window is the same but without the early signings. Last season and the first season up were rare exceptions.

Probably 3 . People always talk of fine margins while I think our injuries will determine if we stay up or not - cant afford to lose more especially Zaha Tomkins . |

4 will just about do, at a bare minimum, add to the spine of the team.
Centre Back, Polish Chap Midfielder, young chap from Benfica Striker, Ulloa at a push, if we cancel RLC's loan And the oft wished for 3rd keeper. Would allow us to put out a reasonably competitive 18 for the last 14 games..

Even with the polish & Swedish fellas, we still need a GK, another midfielder now that RLC & Cabaye are injured and at least 1 possibly 2 strikers, if Wickham is not going to make it back this season.

This window is gonna be quantity over quality I think. But quantity with potential. Look at the summer if we stay up. It looks like the biggest rebuild of a squad at Palace in a long time which I’m worried about. I’d rather save some of this windows cash to add to the summers cash. Can’t see any of our signings this window being over £5M
Potentially need to replace the 2 keepers as well as add a new 1 between now and summer TFM loan ends and what’s the deal with Wards contract? Centre back needed between now and summer (Polish guy) Potential replacements for Cabaye & McArthur Loftus-Cheek loan ends Completion needed for Townsend Potential replacing for Zaha 2 strikers need to be added between now and the summer |

I know its hard to get players in before the end of the window but we are really setting ourselves up to fail on the striker front if we don't sort something in the next week. Surely we won't leave this vital position until transfer deadline day again? What's to stop us getting shafted by an agent once more? The low budget options with the Pole and Swede look sensible to me but only if we buy at least one decent striker. No point loaning somebody for 6 months to add to the massive list of transfers we need to make in the summer. Really need to buy a Babacar or Eder before West Ham.

How many new players we really need as to how many we realistically get is another matter. Assuming we have signed the Polish and Swedish lads suggests that is Two positions taken care off, but is it? these are raw youngsters that will need time to settle let alone being able to fill the void created by the loss of premiership experience of Dann,Sakho, RLC and Puncheon bring.
For me this would be my urgent list needed so as to avoid falling back into that dreaded Bottom Three, which could so easily happen as we are only 1/2 losses away from getting there if other results go against us. Keeper......As much as we feel is not a priority unfortunately we have keepers that do not inspire confidence, leaving the defence feeling suspect. So Another Needed. Central Defender......Even with the signing of the Polish lad we remain suspect in that area for the reasons i mentioned above. So Another Needed. Central Midfielder........The Swedish lad is a valuable addition and will help increase numbers, but it needs more especially with the loss of Puncheon and RLC, and with Cabaye and McArthur looking"suspect"a lot of the time, is a risk too far to take. So Another Needed. Striker........Personally i would like to see TWO added, One Experienced like Ulloa on loan fits the bill perfectly, Plus Another Young up and coming player like the outstanding Dembele from Celtic, that will still only leave us with Four Strikers, Benteke who with 1 goal in 17 games is a liability based on that, and the unfortunate Wickham who seems destined to miss large parts of a season with injury, so cant be relied on. Yes it will cost, but so will relegation. Is it not a situation of spending NOW when the situation calls for it to avoid what may lay ahead if relegated? also if spent Now, should mean avoiding spending much in the summer window, so collectively the total Net cost is no more. |

Hard to argue with any of that. I totally agree with you. Let’s hope we can get some deals wrapped up ASAP. |

Jan transfer window to us is to make sure we get players in to keep us up - hope we get 3 of sufficient quality to do that
