Crystal Palace supporters in the Transfer Tavern are pleased with their side’s progress in the transfer window, and they’re hopeful of concluding more deals before the window closes.
It’s been a memorable summer at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace appointed a foreign manager for the first time in the club’s history, and with new management, comes new players.
Frank De Boer has conducted Palace’s transfer proceedings in a very shrewd manner, prioritising exuberance and potential over experience and established statuses. The decision to sign Jairo Riedewald, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Timothy Fosu-Mensah testify the Dutchman’s eagerness to cast an eye towards the future.
Now, it’s just about getting some points on the board…
While preparing for the long-term is of great significance, a concoction of youth and experience can provide a team with cherished stability.
With only two weeks remaining in the transfer window, Palace must conduct their business with a sense of speed to improve upon their first two games.
Accordingly, our landlord has highlighted two players he thinks that Palace should opt to sign on loan this summer.
Fabian Delph
The 27-year-old has fallen out-of-favour at Manchester City and saw his first-team involvement severely restricted last season.
The Englishman is still incredibly gifted, renowned for his exceptional dribbling ability and tendency to intercept play.
Having featured for Aston Villa and Manchester City, Delph has the necessary experience and aptitude to command proceedings at the heart of Palace’s midfield.
Oliver Burke
It has been reported in the press that Palace is targeting Oliver Burke from RB Leipzig as Frank De Boer’s latest recruit.
The 20-year-old is widely considered as Scotland’s most promising prospect and has only made 17 league appearances for the German club last season, so he could be tempted by a move to South London.
To ensure that the youngster can perform at the highest level, a loan move with an option to buy could be an intriguing option for the Eagles to pursue.
