With a good run of games Hemed could score 20 PL goals a season, especially if Skalak plays every game. They have an almost telepathic chemistry between them that could terrorise the likes of Baillee, Matip, Cahill, Van Dijk, Alderweirald etc.
Why won't Skalak play every game on the opposite wing to Knockaert?
Stephens - quite a few NSCers think he's gone and won't be sorry to see him go. I'd be very disappointed.
Along with Hemed and Bong, they have the pace and experience to worry / beat the likes of Ryan Bertrand, Clyde, Matip, Van Aanholt, Coleman, Fuchs, etc. Add the fact that they are not known to PL oppositon and the unprecedented team bond, it adds up to a personally great season ahead for Bong...
In your experienced opinion, would you expect that if our first eleven next season usually includes Hemed, Skalak, Bong, Norwood and March, that we survive with some ease?
I had a look online at Southampton, Bournemouth and Palace's first summer transfer activity after their PL promotions, and...
Skalak
Bong
Hemed
Norwood
March
In their respective positions, each will terrorise their PL opponents. As a result, a top half finish beckons, regardless of whether we sign anyone decent this summer.
