Hughton is no soft touch, he will make the tough decisions, the Rohan Ince episode proves that.

Just because we have two for every position (except striker) doesn't mean that we don't have to recruit some even better players for next season. I've no idea which of our current squad will be replaced, but undoubtedly some will be.He said that Murray struggled in the Prem which is a bit unfair. He was out injured for most of the first season and then Palace had changes of managers.
He also says we need another CB but with all fit we have 4 good ones, and how many CB's can we have in a 25 man squad anyway? If we do need another one Forren may be a fit anyway. We have 2 players per position less a striker, so that leaves room for another striker and one other to make the 25.
2 good signings is what we need. Defoe and someone else.

Exactly. Murray and Baldock will stay and play, but we need more goal threats against PL class defenders. M'boro didn't address this properly ... look at their goal scores stat and impending drop.
The same with other positions.
And to be prepared for the injury crises we always seem to suffer for long spells each season.
We need two strikers on loan for a start! One to replace Akpom - we seem to have made the 4th striker a perennial loan signing so someone permanent woud be nice. We could also do with a proven Premier League goalscorer. Perhaps more of a poacher. Baldock and Murray are quite similar in some respects.
We could probably do with a central midfielder. Stephens may go. Kayal suffers from injuries. Norwood hasn't really impressed me and although Sidwell has done well, there aren't too many PL midfielders playing at that level at 35. Question marks over Murphy and Skalak too.
I'm still concerned about Bruno as well. At times he has looked very leggy this season and fear he may be exposed in the PL. Rosenior should do well but maybe a fullback that can play left or right would be a worthwhile addition.
I think you are going to be disappointed this summer transfer window if you think our whole midfield needs replacing.
Injuries or not we can only have 25 in the squad;
As the squad stands now;
Liam, Bruno RB
Uwe, Dunk, Duffy, Goldson, Forren CB's
Bong, Poc LB
Kayal, Stephens, Sidwell, Norwood Mid
Knockaert, March, Murphy, Skalak Wingers
Murray, Hemed, Baldock
Above is 21 so 4 more can be added to make a 25 man squad. I'm not convinced there will be any dropping of the current players with regard to tough decisions.
