This deal between Palace and Everton swap deal for Johnson who place splashed 35mil on in Jan and Mcniel going to Palace won't the go down as a big hit on Palace scr. ?

I think besides the obvious promoted teams,

Bournemouth could struggle - suffer delayed whiplash from gutting their defence last season and again by losing Senesi. Ireola is gone. Kroupi has a broken foot. Alex Scott and Rayan have a lot on their plates.

Everton - industrious and still lacking a killer up front. Dewsbury Hall and Hackney read like a solid partnership. Feel like Keane and Tarkowski's age is catching them soon. Braithwaite needs to get over his injury issues.



Palace - Panicked, and, as Brum highlights, swapping in McNeil for someone they just paid £35m for. Wow.

Fulham - A lot riding on the young Spanish pair adapting fast, and Charles, who has never played prem, adapting quickly. Feel like if Joachim Andersen or Leno go down or form falls, they're toast.

More will happen between now and transfer close. We're thin at lb and striker. If we don't close those two positions, I'd put us in there.

Barcodes could be in trouble.
Sale, like a Black Friday deal, nothing left!

Sunderland, playing twice a week, could be hard.

Be ace to get rid of both North East teams.

Not sure any of those teams, Ealing, with the exception of possibly Palace, will be in a bottom 6R battle.

Still, expect, hope and think Sunderland might/will be too.

And, yep, we are definitely in the mix without a striker and lb signing.. At present, as things stand, this is merely a 5.5 /10 window ..

5.5 out of 10. Comedy.

It's good to laugh, Matty. ?

If Leeds recruitment crucially sign a striker and a LB in last few weeks of window, it then becomes an 8 out of 10.

We got away with injuries last seez.

We'll be in the bottom half relegation mix with or without a new striker and left back.
Foolish to think otherwise.

As long as it's not bottom 3..

Which would be much more likely, and therefore very risky without these key signings and a season of injuries.
