[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[Flounce]

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.

They have every reason to have pre season excitement given how they finished last season

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.

Palace have spent the last few seasons getting rid of the high earners and cutting the top wage, I can’t see Zaha coming on on anything like he left on.

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.

Who's Olivier?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

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.

Sure -
I'm just conscious that as a fan group we were similarly excited about De Zerbi.
The media were even more exuberant about him, then they've been about Glasner.

I would say that De Zerbi did a more impressive job in turning players like Solly March into match winners ( you might recall...)
As well as impressing the likes of Lallana, Dunk and Gross.

But ultimately in his second season, his "genius" was found out pretty comfortably.

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?!

Well, there is this complete and utter twat, should he ever make it to the first team:-

 

[Seagull58]

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

You have answered your own question regarding Caicedo then. Chelsea paid £115 million so that is what he's worth.

TBF, A lot of folks on hear call Mr Bloom “Tony” and also your managers by their first names…it’s not for me but there you go.

 

[lawros left foot]

£170, 000 a week.


C’mon Palace, you know he’s worth it.

 

[lawros left foot]

Just when l hoped this might have legs


STOP PRESS!!!!!!


Chelsea have blown Palace out the water!!!!


They’ve bid 120 million, and offered him an 8 year contract on £350,000 a week.!!!

It does look like that doesn't it!

I don't think anyone in South London would be particularly upset if we sold Jeffrey Schlupp
He's not an awful player and has been a good servant to the club over a number of years, but he was pretty abysmal in Roy's second spell.

 

[ThePaddy]

It reeked of agent hype at the time and I'm getting that whiff even more strongly now. It just doesn't make sense.

Glasner's first name is Oliver, not Olivier.

 

[Binney on acid]

Looks like he’s available, with Leicester and his old club in the running.
It would be great to see him in the stripes, warming the bench.
