How long do you wait for him to develop though? We're not talking about a breakthrough prospect anymore- he's almost 24, same as Garner/O'Brien. He's not at anywhere near either of their levels. I know it's not his fault, but injuries have massively stunted his development. At this point it's...

It feels just like watching Southgates teams. Individually more talented than the opposition but so turgid and uninspiring.

Exactly. It's not his fault Utd offered him an insane wage

Nah, he got skinned consistently whenever he was in the defensive third. His work rate can't compensate for a complete inability to defend

Potentially Runcorn Towns place too by the expressway. Though I admit I have no idea what state it is in

I hope he doesn't- I have a lot of time for Palace, and their strategy is really working and paying off for them. But a couple of things go against any club and the vultures start circling to kick a club while they are down. Especially when the managers stock is high. No matter what though...

If they both left, and they we're denied European football they rightfully earned, then there would surely be question marks about how long Glasner sticks around.

It potentially would be the best option, the only thing with it is how busy it is- I get the feeling its in use an awful lot of the time.

Yes and no. Hes spent a lot of games isolated with no support, giving him no chance. But look at the calibre of players giving him support that season- James Rodriguez, Lucas Digne, Sigurdsson etc. Pretty much any half decent striker would clean up with them giving him service.

I'd be surprised if its even £20kpw at this point, hes taken reduced terms more than once in the last few years I think. Like you pointed out, he was never a massively high earner even at his peak. I think of it as him filling an outfield role a bit like the 3rd choice keeper. Someone who is...

I saw that if he plays next season, that will be 17 seasons in a row playing for Everton, level with Neville Southall. I don't think there's anyone who has spent longer in the first team.

I think its one of those things that will take time to shake out. A lot of people who were in Lower Gwladys have moved out of the Lower South at Bramley Moore, as they had those tickets from when they were younger and now don't want to stand for the whole game anymore. On the flipside, theres...

They still did their best to throw it away, luckily the privateer team held it together. Should've been an easy 1-2-3

Thats the big question mark with Brentford. How much is Frank responsible for there? And how well equipped are they to deal with his departure. Can another manager drop in there seamlessly and maintain their performance in recent years? It will be interesting to find out.

This bit especially for me. Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton all strike me as the flavour of the month at the moment, just like Southampton were a decade ago (remember when Stoke and Swansea were established mid table clubs as well?) But there's only so long you can replace players with...
