How is this thread not in the bear pit already......
I miss the old school NSC, when you could say WTF you liked and only a very few took offence
We don’t have anywhere near as many laughs these days with the changing world of social media. NSC is no longer the home of the laugh out loud binfest.
Ye, cant even joke about another forum member getting killed, his wife getting paralysed and children parentless these days. portslock-guy even got banned for wishing everyone covid on Christmas. Where is society heading when such classic, laugh-out-loud humour isnt appreciated anymore?
I’m not sure that the Swansman of the last 24 hours would have fitted in at all either. What’s up, why you so grumpy and tetchy?
I can only say “You had to be there” and leave it at that
Reasons.
In this specific case it makes little difference. Maybe its a cultural thing.
Go into a pub in England and tell some stranger "what if you died in a car accident hahahaha, and your wife got paralysed hahhahaha, this is what I imagine would happen to your kids hahahahaha" and maybe John Cleese will give you the Comedian of the Year award. Do it in Malmö and you are going home in a fish food shaped casket.
Personally I dont really mind dark humour but joking about the death of someones relatives in 2020 is. in a lot of cases, not very fun for the individual that the joke is directed at. Too bad other people showing empathy for that person is costing you a good laugh.

I fear you have totally missed the point of my original post, but best leave it as I should feel quite insulted by your dickish last comment. I’ll work on it.
Maybe get back on track and answer the OPs original question?
Many NSC'ers claim that bar a few, which i will come to in a minute, our whole squad is not currently up to the PL, standards now demand. So out of curiosity i would like to know what people think about the possible squad changes if we did unfortunately go down.
Outs:
Ryan - Actually wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt leave in January - Back home to play Aussie soccer
Llallana (on a free) - probably would join a Newcastle or Palace mid table team on a one year contract
Welbeck. (free) - back to Watford i expect assuming the get promoted. Lot depends how fit he stays rest of the season
Lamptey - clearly too good for Championship - wouldnt be surprised for him to go back to Chelsea for 40m+
White - He probably has a relegation clause in his renewed contract and i imagine would jump at the chance to rejoin Leeds
Bissouma - after flourishing for the past 12 months, whilst not completely setting the world on fire, would see him playing for the Hammers or some top 10 team (maybe not top 4)
Dunk - maybe one season too late? Still think though quote a few PL teams would snap him up, albeit at a much reduced fee.
Andone on a free or very low fee back to Galatasary - they seem (on twitter at least) to think the suns shines out his ...
Propper/Gross, both would probably be let go on a free in todays climate and likely return to their home nations.
Ins:
Our 2 Polish guys? would they have signed to play 2nd tier football when they are already in top flight at home? Cant personally see them wanting to relocate but who knows.
Duffy - 100% have him back from his loan in an instant. One final season teaming up again with Dunk (if he doesnt leave)
Step forward several of the U23s - Molumby? Gyrokes finally gets another chance?
Percy Tau? Anyone know the rules outside the PL to get him his overdue license to play in the UK?
Hmm tough one. As a team who would be one of the favorites to go back up again next season i would hope we could attract some talent - may season long loans from PL ?
As for the rest,
Webster/Burn - would probably WANT to leave but dont see us getting any offers we would accept
Connelly / Alzate / Trossard / Maupay /Connelly probably accept a drop in division on the same wages!
Izzy - 1 year contract extension - think he could do well if he regains fitness in the slower pace
The OP is a palace fan. He wanted to know which players 'we' ( palace ) would sell if they go down.Could see White, Lamptey, Dunk, Trossard & Bissouma going.
I think we'd keep Lallana, Webster, Gross, Welbeck, March etc.
Not sure about whether we'd keep Maupay...i have a feeling all is not right with him and the manager/club.
