Eberechi eze? Marc Guehi? The greatest capital of Crystal Palace is Oliver Glasner – his future is most important
The fear of Crystal Palace is that if you have to expand your squad in such a way that you are exposed to your first team group with the new and exciting requirements of a maiden voyage to Europe.
In addition, there is a risk of losing two of his best players, although Eberechi Eze will complete his move to Tottenham in the coming days and Marc Guehi will perhaps work for it in the last year of his contract and the club.

An outcome for EZE could prove to be dangerous for palace. An exit for both could be enough to derail their season as soon as it begins. It is difficult to see how they played so well and Chelsea rightly kept at home on a goalless draw on Sunday if Guehi and Eze were not involved.
There can be life to Eze, life to Guehi. The most valuable capital of the palace is your manager.

Oliver Glasner spent 546 days in the job as head coach of the Eagles, and during this time there were difficult moments, test periods. In the fall of last year, some areas were even spoken about his release. Palace was the very last team in the league that won a game. It was October 27th before they did it.

He overcame the obstacles to get out the other side and now finds the palace through smoother traces.
The last ten competition games from Palace included games against Arsenal from home, Liverpool Away, Chelsea Away, Tottenham Away, a semi-finals against Aston Villa, the FA Cup final against Manchester City and the Community Shield against Liverpool. Zero defeats, two trophies.
The owners of the FA Cup and the Community Shield owe their quirky Austrian managers, who seemed intense, but when he addressed the media for the first time when he arrived at Selhurst Park. Since then, he has not only improved the palace very much, but has also shown more and more of his own personality. His sense of humor, openness, laser -like competitive advantage and recording the trophy cabinet of growth of the palace have some followers who indicate that he may already be the largest manager in the history of the club.
With limited transmission spending and the loss of Michael Olise’s mercury talent, Glasner made the palace much more than the sum of its parts. He has the highest point-pro game record of every Palace boss in the Premier League era.
There can be life for Eze and life to Guehi. The most valuable capital of the palace is your manager.
After the 0-0 draw on Sunday in Stamford Bridge, a reporter believed that Palace had become the team outside the elite who wanted to play the title candidates and Champions League the least. It is difficult not to agree to this assessment. And to get a palace, loan has to land mainly in front of Glasner’s office door.

The concern about the lack of expenses this summer is understandable and is shared not only by fans, but also by Glasner. In the three transmission windows in which he called Selhurst Park Home, the 50-year-old was never afraid of publicly pushing the board to invest more in the squad.
This is particularly relevant now, but everything disappears with EZE and Guehi. If the sympathetic squad, who gave Palace his greatest period, without a reasonable attempt to replace sold stars, distributes it, it is difficult to see how Glasner’s contract talks can have a happy ending.
The head coach is the most valuable capital of Crystal Palace. The organization of his team in Chelsea showed this. But while EZE and Guehi are decisive players for this upward club, the long-term future of the club depends more on keeping Glasner happy and keeping him.
