Palace Manager’s Bold Comments on Transfers…
Liverpool is gearing up for the 2025 Community Shield face-off against Crystal Palace, the 2025 FA Cup winners who sent Manchester City packing with a 1-0 defeat. Their shopping spree could rival a billionaire’s blue light special with rumors swirling of Alexander Isak joining their ranks. Palace’s coach, Oliver Glasner, chuckled, ‘It’s as if Liverpool is trying to collect championships like kids collect trading cards. The English league? They want that. The Champions League? Yeah, put that in the shopping cart too!’ Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is fighting off UEFA like a cat trying to keep a cucumber at bay, hoping for a Europa League spot.
The Reds welcomed a mini-European invasion, grabbing Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, alongside others. Glasner openly admired Liverpool’s ambition in the window, jesting, ‘They’re shopping like every player comes with a free toaster oven.’ His Eagles stayed modest, recruiting only Borna Sosa and Walter Benitez. Despite a quieter summer, Glasner has magically turned Palace into trophy contenders, propelling them to a record 53 Premier League points. He seems to have a knack for turning underdogs into showstoppers, conjuring success like a wizard pulls rabbits out of hats!
