Impossible. There would be at least 10 clubs globally (palace included) who would happily pay him 100k a week just for the name.Good call.
Having been watching some German footy in the last month I quite like the look of Rouwen Hennings (but at 32 might be deemed too old) from Dusseldorf or my preferred choice Marcus Thuram (22) from Borussia Mönchengladbach - pretty wishful thinking but both have looked decent this season.
Pukki has scored more goals this season than Maupay and Connolly put together!
Ivan Toney as the new potential Glenn as per the other thread? could be worth a gamble at the right price.
Ashley Barnes. His Second Coming would be at least as effective as Murray's Second Coming. Should never have let either go. Abject failure in Human Resources Retention Management both times
I've always thought Gerard Moreno at Villarreal would do a good job for us.
As a Swede I might be a bit biased, but reportedly 3-5 million punds for Union Berlin's Sebastian Andersson is quite a steal and at that price he'd slot in nicely as a "second" signing of a striker (I wouldn't mind a more proven forward as the first signing). More or less trustworthy sources are saying Brighton and Valencia have been poking around, and in interviews he's clearly stated that PL is the dream.
Sure, the dude is a late bloomer and didn't really hit his stride until this season (he's 28). But he's fantastic in the air, hard working and would be quite a differently shaped piece of the puzzle for GP to use.
12 goals (of which seven were headers) and five assists in the Bundesliga so far this season, playing for (imho) a rather shitty team.
Maupay , Connolly and muzza next season. Feel like we need at least one more.
I'm gonna go with Pukki as my first pick. Realistic. 11 in 30 in a rubbish team. Has pace and excellent finishing ability. Little on the old side for us at 30 but probably still has another 3 seasons in him. Would be an upgrade on anything we currently have although maupay may surpass him soon. Having a crap end to season lost all confidence so could secure relatively cheaply for prem standards.
Callum Wilson or josh king would be nice if muff go down.
Wouldn't mind Ollie Watkins but I suspect bigger fish will be circling ....
Thoughts ?

Is he out of contact in the summer? I read somewhere that’s the case.
I believe there was a clause in Sebastian Andersson's contract saying he could go for free if Union Berlin were relegated (which didn't happen) and some lazy reporting and a few rounds of the broken telephone later most articles agreed his contract was up, which isn't the case.
The way I understand it, his contract will automatically be renewed for one more year now that they stayed up, but there's still a 3,5 million buy-out clause. The reason for it being so low is that it was agreed upon while Union was still playing in 2. Bundesliga.
Take this with a grain of salt, though, been a while since I read about it.
I would not take the opinion of NSC on a player as people here are notorious for not being able to spot or judge players.
