Glasner keeps cards close as Crystal Palace weigh January options
Crystal Palace continue to move through January with a sense of quiet calculation. There has been action, enough to signal intent, but also restraint, enough to underline that this window is being treated as part of a longer story rather than a short term scramble. For Oliver Glasner, the message has been consistent, progress matters, but so does patience.
Palace have already added Brennan Johnson to their squad, a signing that points towards energy, adaptability and an eye on future development as much as immediate impact. Yet Glasner has chosen not to provide clarity on whether more arrivals are imminent, preferring to let speculation run while internal work continues.

That approach fits the tone of Glasner’s time in charge. His Crystal Palace side is being shaped carefully, with an emphasis on balance, depth and long term cohesion rather than headline grabbing volume.
Glasner’s message on patience and planning
When asked about further arrivals, Glasner kept his response deliberately measured.
“The club is working hard. It’s doing the right things, and I’m sure we will do the right things.”
It is a line that says plenty without committing to anything specific. It places trust in the club’s recruitment process while reinforcing the idea that decisions will be driven by fit and timing, not external noise.
For Crystal Palace supporters, that may feel frustrating, especially with rivals strengthening. Yet it also reflects a broader philosophy under Glasner, one that values structure, continuity and alignment between coach and club.
Crystal Palace focus beyond the transfer headlines
What matters most for Palace is how the squad evolves on the pitch. January additions can help, but they are only part of the wider picture. Glasner’s task is to embed his ideas, improve consistency and ensure that any new faces enhance rather than dilute that process.
If further signings arrive, they will likely reflect that thinking. If they do not, Palace will continue with a group that is being carefully moulded. Either way, the tone from Glasner suggests a club operating with intention rather than impulse, a trait that could prove just as valuable as any late window deal.
