Crystal Palace will make some good money during the summer transfer window.

It would make for a change of pace. Only time Palace did well in selling was Wan-bissaka after 1 season in first team, going for £50m!

I think at least 3 players would be potentially sold:

1) one of Eze/Olise - the most likely being Olise

2) one of guehi or andersen - the noise seems to be focused on guehi (perhaps because he's younger and English), but if it was my decision and one ultimately went, then I'd rather let andersen go

3) one of Mateta or edouard - when the latter first signed, I honestly thought he'd be the truth. Ex-PSG, was banging all sorts of goals at Celtic. Plus Brighton were heavily after him and under Potter, their missing piece was getting a goalscorer cause maupay weren't cutting it. Given their track record on signings, I figured Edouard must be worth pursuing even if the Scottish league is inferior. However this season, Mateta has proven his worth at long last. Neither should be the main man, but a secondary striker, so it should become a balance on who's worth keeping on bench vs who can maximise on value if sold. I'm assuming Mateta has the bigger upside in value if sold, given that he was cheaper than Edouard and he's currently in rich vein of form but let's see.

Other players to go would be Riedewald, Clyne and/or Ward, Tomkins - all frees so no fee but free up wage bill. Ben Johnson should come in as defensive upgrade on a free too.

Hughes or Ahamada might get sold too for upgrading although three main CMs next season would be lerma, doucoure and wharton, with 2 out of 3 starting each time.

One of the gks will probably leave. Unfortunately it may be Johnstone given that he was free so 100% profit, whereas Man United fleeced £20m out of palace last summer for Henderson...probably a touch of retribution for wan-b sale a few years ago.
 
I lost £45 this weekend, this game costing me £8... Im tempted to go full destruction mode if we go pens and bet £50 on United...

My head is saying 'United are gonna lose, United are gonna lose' though lol

Eze or Olise to Arsenal.
