During one other chaotic week for Palace, Metro spoke to club legend Clinton Morrison to attempt to make sense of all of it.
Mateta’s timing ‘all incorrect’
The timing of Mateta trying to go away is all incorrect. It’s disappointing, I do know JP and he’s a great guy who just desires to do well and achieve success. But he must have waited until the summer to get his move. I do know what the chairman Steve Parish is like, unless it’s the proper price, he shouldn’t be letting him go.
Oliver Glasner is not leaving until the top of the season, we hope. Perhaps he [Mateta] has got someone in his ear, perhaps his agent, telling him “we’d like to strike why the iron is hot”. However the iron could possibly be even hotter in he summer. He’s 29 now, he’s hitting his peak years and he’s considering he can get the massive move that he has wanted. He has his agent chatting with clubs I’m sure. But I’ve seen this play out one million times and the chairman is a clever businessman and he isn’t going to let a player go for lower than the cash he’s price.
‘That is the best way it goes at Palace’
Adam Wharton could possibly be one other to go away in the summertime, hopefully we are able to keep him for an additional 12 months but this has played out again and again and Palace have all the time been alright. We have really missed Ismaila Sarr at AFCON and Daniel Munoz when he’s been out injured. Their returns will really help with all of the attacks coming down their side on the proper. Sarr has been sensible here, Munoz is the driving force. There will probably be top clubs him too but he’s found a house here.
Unless a billionaire comes into the club that is just the best way it goes, it’s the identical with Glasner’s situation. You do well and you progress on and unfortunately that is the best way it goes.
Palace’s next manager?
It’s difficult judging who’s going to be available. We didn’t know much about Oliver Glasner until he got here to the club. He had success at Frankfurt but we didn’t know Palace would have a likelihood of getting him and he might be going to go down as one in every of Palace’s best managers ever.
There’s been discuss Gareth Southgate and he did such a great job with England getting them to major finals. But Palace are ready a variety of clubs are in where they are going to wait until the summer when there are going to be a number of changes. There are a great deal of managers who will probably be on the move then – the chairman will probably be doing his work at once sounding out possibilities.
