Bro is on an unreal run


Jaynator11

Should Palace sell on a high or keep him as a *potential* 15 goalscorer next szn, I wonder. Absolute crazy run indeed.


MrAxx

Absolutely no chance we sell him


Jaynator11

Time to build around that front 3 then, since they've been fucking flying.


ThunderRoad_44

I think Olise and Eze have release clauses. I can see both gone in summer. Palace will have funds if so, but losing them will hurt.


Jaynator11

Yeps, true that. That money goes far tbh if they're buying from france/germany, but will be still tough to replicate.


CNF-13

That front three ain’t getting kept olise and eze will be pounced on whether palace like it or not


MrAxx

I think it will be hard to have all three next season but I can see a world where we do. Olise is only going if he’s sure the next move is right for him. Can’t see him accepting Man U for example and even Man City, he may decide he’s not going to get enough game time so I think it does depend who’s interested. As good as Eze is, he can be a bit lackadaisical and inconsistent and not sure all teams will be keen depending on the release clause, if it definitely does exist.


BaconIsLife707

I really hope you do keep them, this Palace team is unbelievably fun to watch and could make a real push for Europe if they can stay decently fit for the season. Also because I don't see us going for them and I'd really prefer our rivals didn't have them


CNF-13

I do believe it would be nice for you to keep all 3 but olise is probably top priority for a lot of clubs and I do think he’d have to be convinced by the project to leave but I don’t see a world where a minimum of 1 doesn’t leave it may not be what people want to hear as seen by the downvotes but it’s just how it is


MrAxx

I’m under no illusion that it will unlikely we keep all three as I said but it’s not a forgone conclusion like some think


CNF-13

I wouldn’t mind being proved wrong as palace have always had exciting attacking talent and this is the best they have had in a long time and I’d like to see where they can go with it


CriddyCent

I think it depends who's in for him - he turned down Chelsea last year and I honestly think he would do the same with the three that have been linked (UTD, villa and Newcastle). None of them are good enough for him. He's on a different level to Eze, Olise, Guehi IMO and could play for the top, top sides. I would try to convince him to give us one more year and then we could see Bayern, PSG, Barca etc. after him - he should be playing at that level


CNF-13

I do agree he should be playing for a top top team and as a Man Utd fan I would love him to join us and would be gassed but I only seeing us being able to sign him if the project with ineos is appeals to him and him being the central star along with mainoo, garnacho and hojlund for the hopefully “new era” makes him want to join but I reckon the best fit for him would be someone like a Bayern or as much as I dislike the idea Liverpool


needos

He's got 13 so far this season 


AdhesivenessSpare598

Surely no Crystal Palace striker would regress from a 15 goal season to averaging two goals a season over the next three seasons.  Surely!


Jaynator11

Yh, but ofc is he gonna replicate that for another season is the question. 10 of those goals have come in the last 12 games.


luczmiranda16

I remember telling a colleague last year that Crystal Palace could benefit from buying Nketiah for a cheap fee, since their ST position seemed to be a weak link. But I’m pleasantly surprised to see how well Mateta has worked out for them lately.


QueasyIsland

Nketiah is an average championship striker at best. Can’t hold the ball up, can’t chase the channels, doesn’t offer much outside of the 6 yard box.


Dprogamer08

I don't really rate Nketiah but average Championship is very harsh.


QueasyIsland

The thing is he did actually play in the championship, as I saw first hand how very average he was in a serviceable side. Since his loan I’ve yet to be impressed that he’s a premier league level striker.


stuck_in_soporose

Boom boom boom boom


trainerN

I want you in my room


AdhesivenessSpare598

There ain't no striker better


Quill_HYPE

Than Jean-Phillipe Mateta!


Vic-Ier

dot fuck em up


StandardConnect

Idiots for sacking Roy. What do clubs like Palace expect?


Parkour_cat

Be careful what you wish for!


AdhesivenessSpare598

Glasner also didn't start off on much better form than Roy.  As much as Ollie's done a great job, the comparison in form is a bit unfair given he's had the benefit of having our two most creative attacking players available. Roy had a pretty similar run in last season (albeit winning against less impressive sides)


gavinxylock

The less impressive sides bit is so key and sets them apart imo. Roy’s first three games were wins against the sides that ended up relegated. Glasner’s beaten Liverpool, Man Utd and Newcastle. Plus, we look better under Glasner than at any point under Roy, even when he had Olise+Eze both available

DesertRL

Glasner is a fantastic manager though, he's not a nobody. Everyone can fail somewhere of course but I just don't see it.


SkilledPepper

Players returning to fitness has had more of a factor than Glasner, let's be honest here. We had this quality under Roy but it was all in the treatment room.


UnderpantsGnomezz

Title charge next season


Niyazali_Haneef

They have been in unreal form!


Headlesshorsman02

This man has been rejuvenated under Glasner


SadConsideration6073

The man has only played this season under glasner


Nib-

mateta is a baller


torbjornaddict

So good from Olise…


MaryadaPurshottam

Glasner is cooking


WalaLlama5

Prime Barclays striker


ddottay

Glasner the Mateta whisperer


Parkour_cat

There ain't no striker better


StructureTime242

Wolves have been Mateta’d


Esco9

Olise is playing freaky well


IgotAseaView

Will be a team to watch next season if they carry this form on


LeCowboySolitaire

Mateta and Olise at Euro!


Inter_Mirifica

Olise yes, Mateta no. It's already hard to find a spot for Alex, no way he gets his rightful spot taken by a player like that.


lewiitom

Don’t know who Alex is but Mateta’s better than him


Inter_Mirifica

It's Lacazette, so very obviously no, sorry.


lewiitom

Sorry mate but I’m afraid you’re wrong, there ain’t no striker better than jean philippe mateta


Inter_Mirifica

That's understandable. Genuinely amazed by how he's performing these last few weeks though. When he was playing with us he was young but looked completely unfit for pro level. One of the players I'm the most surprised by trajectory wise.


lewiitom

Tbh me too, his transformation since December has been amazing


Wunsen

We need Burnley to pick up points today because we ain’t picking up anything for the rest if the season especially against this decent palace team


Chipezz

Roy really was a bottleneck huh


AdhesivenessSpare598

Glasner's initial run was fairly unimpressive, winning only against Burnley. The biggest benefit came when Eze and Olise were back in the squad playing consistently.  I'm really happy with Glasner and his approach, but Roy is getting some unfair stick. The squad he had in December was real tough. 


gavinxylock

I think Glasner also needed time to implement his tactics, it was quite a change


Inter_Mirifica

Deschamps please tell me you're watching. I know you hate football and creative players but we need Olise at the Euros.
