Well, it's that time again. The transfer window has re-opened and the planet is awash with rumours that the world is going to end because Palace are being linked with some very high calibre players. Matt Webb takes a look at the potential ins and outs as rumoured in the press this summer. 

IN

YOHAN CABAYE

Following a lack of first team appearances at Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, French international midfielder Yohan Cabaye has been heavily linked with a move back to England and a possible reunion with former manager Alan Pardew. Cabaye has welcomed the link to Palace by speaking positively of Pardew saying: “I enjoyed it with him and he does a great job …. The most important thing is to find fun. If I have to make that decision, it will be a pleasure to see my old coach.”

A dynamic central midfielder who lit up the Premier League while at Newcastle with his technical ability, ball control and vision, Cabaye also has an eye for goal, scoring 17 during his two and half seasons on Tyneside.

Cabaye needs first team football if he is to cement his place in the French squad for next years European Championship and with the tournament taking place in his home country it will be an occasion the Frenchman will not want to miss.

LOIC REMY

Another potential reunion for Pardew is the speculated transfer of Chelsea striker Loïc Rémy to South London. French newspaper L’equipe first reported the link a week ago and the rumours gathered pace following the recent news that Colombian forward Falcao has now signed for Chelsea, which pushes Rémy even further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

Rémy is a powerful center forward with great pace who can also be used effectively on the wings. A proven goalscorer in both Ligue 1 and the Premier League, Rémy would be an ideal target for the likes of Bolasie and Zaha. Having made his tournament debut at last year’s World Cup in Brazil, the French forward will be looking to kick on from there and will know that regular game time is vital.

STEVE MANDANDA

Highly rated French goalkeeper Steve Mandanda is one of four French players already to be linked to Palace this summer as Alan Pardew’s French connection begins to bear fruit for the Eagles.

Marseille captain Mandanda is an excellent shot stopper with superb reflexes, he is powerful and commanding in the box and while only 30 (still a relatively young for a goalkeeper), he comes with tremendous experience that would make him a tremendous replacement for the aging Speroni.

Mandanda is quoted as saying he is open to a new challenge and London newspaper the Metro claim that Palace have already made enquiries.

ASHLEY COLE

Former Eagle and England centurion Ashley Cole is another name linked with Palace in L’equipe. After his brief spell at Palace in 99/00, Cole has gone on to have an immensely successful career winning titles with Arsenal and was an integral part of the famous Champions League winning Chelsea team.

At the end of the 2013/14 season Chelsea famously did not renew the contracts of some of their veteran players, Frank Lampard joined Manchester City and Ashley Cole moved to Italy with AS Roma. Cole has not featured as much as he would have liked at Roma and sources close to the left back suggest he is interested in a move back to London.

Not long ago Ashley Cole was arguably the world’s best left back and many Chelsea fans were angry with the decision to let him leave; With reunions in vogue at Selhurst Park these days, could we see Cole back in the red and blue?

OUT

SCOTT DANN

Since joining from Blackburn in January 2014, Scott Dann has been nothing short of a revelation: His performances at the heart of the Palace defence last season earned him the Crystal Palace Player of the Year and the calls to see the Liverpudlian in the England squad have grown louder.

His terrific displays last season have not gone unnoticed with the Mirror claiming that Everton are interested in signing Dann and that worryingly the interest is mutual with Dann favouring a return to his home in the North of England.

In order to keep progressing, Palace need to do everything within their power to keep hold of their center back and one hopes that the boyhood Liverpool fan will prefer to stay in London rather than pulling on the Everton shirt.

YANNICK BOLASIE

Bolasie made many headlines last season, most notably after his 11-minute hat trick at the Stadium of Light. Several newspapers have linked the tricky Palace winger with a move away, with both the Daily Mail and the Star reporting that Bolasie is a transfer target of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, although Spurs have recently ruled out a bid.

Bolasie is a popular figure within the Palace dressing room and his flamboyant performances have seen him become a fan favourite, but Pardew has admitted that should an incredible bid come in for him, you can never say never.

MILE JEDINAK

Crystal Palace captain, Mile Jedinak has been a rock at center of the Crystal Palace midfield and over the course of the last two seasons the Australian has statistically been one of the top performing midfielders in the Premier League.

Jedinak enjoyed his best form while under the stewardship of Tony Pulis, but upon his return from the Asian Cup the Australian struggled to retain his place in the Palace starting XI. In Jedinak’s absence Joe Ledley and James McArthur had formed a formidable partnership and despite fears to the contrary the team had coped well without their talisman. Jedinak was also the subject of a violent misconduct charge from the FA and upon a guilty verdict was handed a lengthy ban.

Jedinak will be 31 at the start of next season and recently the Daily Mail reported that Pardew is looking to off-load his captain, with former manager Tony Pulis, now at West Brom, monitoring the situation with interest.

WAYNE HENNESSEY

Welsh international goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was brought to Palace by Tony Pulis in the 2014 January transfer window. Pulis explained that the transfer was completed to provide competition for Julian Speroni’s number 1 jersey, and many had speculated that Hennessey would go on to be Speroni’s long term successor. The increased competition seemingly worked with Speroni going on to have one of his best ever seasons at Selhurst Park, restricting Hennessey to very few opportunities between the posts for Palace.

Reliable when called upon, Hennessey is definitely a keeper of Premier League standard, but should Palace be successful in luring Steve Mandanda to the club Hennessey might look upon a move favourably. Recent reports indicate that Tony Pulis is keen to bring the 6’5” goalkeeper to West Brom.
