For the first time in a long while, it isn't one of our stars that are top of the transfer rumours list.
If we can keep Mitoma/Pedro/Enciso/Adingra we will be in a strong position to push on.
I think Olise is likely to be constantly linked with a big move. and would have as big an impact...
March - 7 games played
Enciso - 10 games played
Mitoma - 19 games played
Estupinan - 19 games played
4 of our best attacking players - guaranteed starters when fit each out for half a season +
Take out Mateta -Olise - Eze - Ayew out for the same amount of games and lets compare performances??
I see what you'e talking about.
I think for now Glasner will want to test himself in the Prem and see what he can do.
Similar to De Zerbi, he's a manager on the rise and knowing a good performance in the Prem can be a springboard to much bigger things.
Jumping too soon (a la Potter) is often a...
I doubt he does, as Bayern are a basket case right now.
But seeing as Beaky rates him at $100m , I would suggest his agent should use this as an opportunity, to renegotiate a contract extension, before the rest of the Prem work out how to play against Palace next season.
As with any form snapshot - it isn't telling at all.
We weren't as good as our first 10 games - you aren't as good as your last 10.
League table is the best indicator.
And over the season there won't be too much between the two teams ( as long as we have to play 10 more games than you)
Yeah absolutely.
He is effectively saying "we won't sell him".
However, unless he already has this as a release clause, Beaky has left himself open to an interesting conversation, with Glasner's agent.
Not sure how much truth there is in this, but surely he can just buy himself out of his contract?
$20m for a two year contract is very generous. Highly unlikely Glasner is on anywhere near that.
I'm calling bullshit on the $100m request, although Beaky is enough of a deluded twunt to try it on.
All new Prem managers are class for 0,75 seasons.
Then the analysts get enough data to work them out.
Glasner MAY be class...
But that is no guarantee.
Next season they will still be targetting 40 points.
As will we...
Even if they get the often quoted £50m asking price, there is an alleged 20% sell on clause.
Palace have been accepting 20% sell ons on a few players for a while now, as it helps them land highly rated players.
Blimey you're back too!
Amazing what a few wins will do.
Must have nearly wiped away the memory of the humiliation at the Amex.
Agreed my mistake - lazy googling.
Palace were reportedly holding out for £50m last summer, but no-one wanted to pay it...
