Crystal Palace spent a lot of the summer season keeping off curiosity of their greatest gamers, however whereas Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi each stayed, they have been unable to maintain maintain of star man Michael Olise.
Bayern Munich spent about £50m to lure him from south London and he has proved inconceivable to exchange.
The 22-year-old scored 10 targets in 19 league appearances for Palace final season and was key to their sturdy end. Certainly, Glasner has solely gained one sport with out Olise in his workforce – a 3-0 victory over 10-man Burnley.
“Olise is a large miss. What he is doing now for Bayern Munich and the standard of participant that he’s,” former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey stated on Sky Sports activities. “He is perhaps top-of-the-line that is ever come out of Palace.
“The affect he had on that workforce final 12 months was outstanding, in order that’s not really easy to exchange.”
Whereas the departure of centre-half Joachim Andersen to Fulham didn’t appeal to the identical consideration as Olise’s transfer, it has arguably had as massive an affect.
They conceded simply 14 instances in 13 matches below Glasner final season, with the 28-year-old key to a stingy Eagles defence. This season, they’ve already let in 11.
At each ends of the pitch Palace aren’t the workforce they have been six months in the past.
“While you’re dropping one in every of your greatest defenders and one in every of your greatest attackers, it doesn’t matter what your set-up is as a supervisor, it is troublesome to exchange that high quality,” added former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.
