[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

Dibdab said:

Spoke to a Palace fan acquaintance last night and seems they are more confident than at anytime during their Premier League stint. They also think they already have their Guehi replacement recruited with a lad from Real Betis and he was quite excited about the money they are making and that they seem to be following our approach to a certain extent.

Unless he's prepared to take a huge pay cut, I'm not sure any other PL team would be interested. His (previous) Palace-level salary is way too high for anyone realistic to want to pay for a squad player.

Another return to Palace does seem the best fit.

If Glasner lives up to his reputation then he won't be their manager next season. The vultures will circle and we know there is no loyalty in football.

If Kompany takes a Dive at Bayern then I can see them going for Glasner as they wanted him before he went to Palace if I remember correctly.

If Olivier does well of course he will be in demand, that’s the nature of the beast.
id rather that than him crashing and burning sacking him and pay him off.

Yes and no. He certainly managed to further raise the level of the already excellent Eze & Olise, but his best work was done with the likes of Mateta, Mitchell, Clyne etc. who were totally reinvigorated under Glasner.

Any Palace fan would have personally driven Mateta back to a Bundesliga training ground if you'd asked us a year ago - yet after a few months of Glasnerball he seems like a different player entirely and was one of the most lethal 9's in the division. Clyne was an ageing fullback, being given a torrid time by wingers up and down the country. Glasner moves him to right centre half in a back three and suddenly he's doing a passable impression of Fabio Cannavaro.

It remains to be seen, of course, whether Glasner can maintain the momentum he built up towards the end of the season. We can only judge him based on what we've seen so far though, and what we've seen has been outstanding. There's no point being pessimistic about what 'might' happen - I'm sure there'll be plenty of time for disappointments down the road.

I like the fact that that Zaha is fully invested in the BHA-Palace rivalry. I'm wondering how long players on either side will care - maybe once Dunk and Solly are gone, it'll be difficult for our team to "get" it. The likes of Hinshelwood will understand (esp with the family connections), but who knows? And on the Palace side is there anyone (apart from Wilf) who can continue the on-field banter?!

Was White worth more than £50 million, given Arsenal think he is currently the best defender in England? In my view, any player is only worth as much as a club is prepared to pay. We kept hold of Zaha by putting a price on him that no-one was prepared to pay
