Crystal Palace are in a precarious position, and manager Oliver Glasner believes that the club needs to "spend not save" if they want to achieve success. Since winning their first major trophy six months ago, Palace have struggled to find the right balance between competing in European competitions and performing domestically.
Glasner has been critical of the club's transfer policy, stating that they missed an opportunity to strengthen the squad during the summer transfer window. The manager believes that investing in new players would have made a significant difference in their recent form, which has seen them lose several key matches since returning from European competition.
Palace brought in six new signings and one loan addition over the summer, with the biggest outlay being £60m for England forward Willian. However, despite this significant investment, Glasner believes that the squad is still lacking depth. He acknowledges that patience may not be his forte, but he expects the club to commit to making further changes in order to achieve success.
Despite the challenges facing Palace, Glasner remains optimistic about their future prospects. The team has won two and lost two in the Conference League and have a good chance of qualifying for the knockout phase. They also have an opportunity to progress to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
However, with Ismaila Sarr set to depart for international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, Palace will be without their standout player for several weeks. The Senegal forward has been in excellent form this season, scoring eight goals across all competitions.
Glasner's comments serve as a warning that Palace must address their squad needs if they want to avoid a decline in form. He believes that the club should be investing rather than saving and is willing to take bold action if necessary to achieve success.

, what's wrong with a little fiscal responsibility? Glasner's gotta be kidding himself if he thinks throwing money at the problem is gonna fix it. We've seen plenty of cases where "investing in new players" just leads to more debt and instability. And let's not forget about the £60m outlay on Willian, that's like the UK government throwing cash at the NHS and expecting results overnight 
. £60m for Willian is a huge outlay, especially considering how things have gone since he arrived. It's not just about signing new players, though - the squad depth is still an issue. I'd like to see some more pragmatism from Glasner, you know? They can't keep throwing money at problems without fixing the underlying issues. And with Sarr off on international duty, it's gonna be tough for them in that Conference League. Maybe they should focus on developing their youth team instead of breaking the bank on big-name signings 
I think Palace are in a bit of a pickle 
, you feel? With all those new signings and £60m spent on Willian, I'd expect them to be killing it on the pitch 
, but instead they're struggling to find their footing 
. It's like they're stuck between a rock and a hard place 
. They need to spend some cash not save it 
️, you can't afford to wait around for things to happen 
. The team needs to take bold action 
and make some changes if they wanna avoid a slump

. They had some big signings like Willian, which was exciting at first, but it feels like they just didn't gel as a team 
. But you know what, I think Glasner's right, they need to spend some money 
rather than saving it all up 
. They can't just keep playing the same players and expecting different results 
. It's time for some serious investment in the squad or else they'll be stuck in neutral for a while 
.
That's just my two cents tho
. With Willian on board, they were hoping to get a boost, but it seems like not enough. They need to sort out their squad depth issues ASAP 
. It's all about spending money and taking calculated risks now 
. Palace is in a tough spot, but Glasner's right – they need to get their act together if they wanna compete 
.
... a strong squad would definitely give them a better chance of achieving success! 
. Six new signings and a £60m outlay for Willian didn't exactly seem like a bad investment, but I guess it all depends on how you look at it 
️. What if they spend another £60m on a player who doesn't even make it to the starting lineup?
