Hard to see Palace not getting enough points to finish 17th or better - at worst they'd need another 10-12 points.
But they are looking at a newly promoted teams level of recruitment in the summer, as well as finding a new manager. And if they did win the europa conference and have to cope with European football again, it gets even harder.
Tsimikas back on the list?
Cuiabano getting an early boot, then. Hard to be disappointed really, but he was supposedly the pick of the three.
There was a story yesterday about him going to Vasco, Forest are willing to let him but only on a permanent deal.

Lorenzo Lucca on the verge of yes to Nottingham Forest. Decisive hours.
Alright Donald Trump
Wrexham have bid £19M for a French striker.
HWFG on Lucca from Fab. Loan with option to buy.
Athletic have it as confirmed.
He's scored 2 in 23 appearances this season, so I guess he fits our style.
Pointless getting a striker who's scored lots of goals, the opposition will know what to expect and counter it.
He's 6'7". Guessing we're taking the "we're not hiding what we're going to do, we're just going to do it too well for you to stop us" approach. I don't hate it tbh.
I get the Silenzi comparisons, but I'm getting a Dadi resonance.
At least our expectations aren't getting carried away.
Also, the loan fee is 1M and the buy package is up to 40M with add-ons. Seems like low risk, high reward.
And no obligation to buy, I think? If so, you're right it would appear hugely low-risk - especially if this player is for Dyche and he's off in the summer.
It does, but why would the selling club agree to such terms unless they just want him gone?
They do want him gone, Napoli fans think he's absolutely garbage. I have no idea how Napoli play so I couldn't tell you if he'll fit here.
I'm inclined to think he's a huge improvement over Wood in a cast and the Make-A-Wish kid who's cosplaying as Taiwo.
