# Crystal Palace: Fans still in conflict over whether to keep or sell Max Meyer

**Max Meyer has caused a lot of debate amongst the Crystal Palace fanbase, and now many are discussing whether the player should stay at the club after the question was asked on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PalaceEaglesc0m/status/1252215395110526977?s=20).**

The German arrived with a lot of pressure on his shoulders as he was highly rated in Germany whilst at Schalke 04, and made his debut for the national side at the age of just 17 back in 2014, via[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-meyer/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/146164).

However in South London, the 24-year-old has failed to make an impact. Part of the blame is down to his form when given opportunities and the other half is that manager Roy Hodgson has played him out of position quite often – indeed this season he has played the majority of his games out wide despite being a natural centre-midfielder ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/max-meyer/leistungsdaten/spieler/146164)).

The statistics on paper just don’t seem to be good enough to warrant a start for the midfielder. He has played 51 times and only managed two goals and three assists, via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-meyer/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/146164), whilst this term he is averaging just 0.1 key passes per game, via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison).

It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer. There is definitely potential for the player to grow, it is just whether he can succeed in being at his best in the Premier League.

These Palace fans debated whether the German has a future at Selhurst Park:

> One player I really want to see thrive at the club…

> Under Roy’s leadership I would say no, but for me we should be building the team round him as well as jairo.

> Needs to be more assertive. Reminds me of Johnny Williams. Next season will make or break. Hope he does well.
