Munoz

Only recently, in private conversations, I was bemoaning the fact that the wing-backs are so pivotal in the ''Glasner Way' yet we did not possess a like-for-like right-footed replacement for Munoz.
I expressed concern about our prospects should Munoz be unavailable.

Arrrgh. He's my favorite player and the most valuable member of our squad, fully deserving of both Player of the Season awards last year (fans & teammates). May God bring him a swift and full recovery.
 
Obviously, it hasn't helped that Kaleb Korpha has a long term injury, and Danny Imray is on loan and back fit again, whether he is up to it is another matter, i wonder if Jaydon Rodney could do a job off the bench, he has played there, and has young legs.

Danny Imray.... why does this guy get mentioned as if there is any chance of him stepping up?!

If he wasn't a Palace player, when would you ever look at a Blackpool, and former Bromley player and think that he could step up to the Prem.

Surprised the club pr dept. didn't immediately jump on this one and confirmed it was not Munoz, considering his name was floating about as a possibility for a good few days.
Or maybe we dont have a pr dept.

I suspect this is a PR thing.

When a BBC presenter was rumoured to be in trouble the papers and social media were rife with who the guilty party was (Huw Edwards). It led to a number of famous names includes Lineker having to publicly deny it was them which of course then allowed the media to remind the public of their past indiscretions / scandals etc.

In other words, if you are innocent better to remain silent and hope the real name comes out quickly.

Because he has shown in both loans that he's better than the level he's been playing at in L1 and L2. It simply reinforces the potential some of us have seen when he was playing in the U21s.

I understand why, but Palace lads on loan are always looked at through red and blue tinted spectacles.

IMO U21s is absolutely no place to spot talent, all you can do it compare them against the other 21 players, of which 19 of them are unlikely to continue playing professionally.

There is no way you'd be looking at any other RB in league 1 thinking he could be Munoz's replacement.
 
Clyne has been solid and certainly not the reason we loss yesterday. To make it through the ranks the “kid” needs to be 16-17 years old and an absolute standout performer. We don’t possess those.

proven internationals like Sasha Boey would appear to be the answer if we want to compete with Europe’s elite.
 
i am told the surgery was to 'clean out' the knee. Munoz's procedure was on the more basic side so he could start light training in a week or two. How long before he can play again is unknown at this point. Hopefully it is weeks and not months - see below

Knee clean-out (arthroscopy) recovery varies, but expect to feel better within weeks, with most returning to light activity in 1-2 weeks and sports/heavy work around 6 weeks, though full recovery can take 3 months or more, depending on the procedure's scope (meniscus repair vs. just cleanup). Initial pain, swelling, and stiffness typically improve within weeks, guided by physical therapy, but follow your surgeon's specific plan for returning to normal activities.

Blimey mate! So many have been talking about this since last summer's window.

No, it certainly isn’t ideal and I’d love us to be in a position to spend £10s of millions on a PL ready RWB - I don’t think anyone else would rather Imray than that if we could.

The context is that we don’t currently seem to have that option and tonight we will have to see some youth players who have not even played at League one level. Occasionally it comes off and you discover someone who can step up. I guess the advantage the players who have stayed and played for the Palace youth teams is that they have been playing in the Glasner system.
 
Right bank seems a jinxed position at present.
Not only is Munoz injured , but two potential understudies in Kphora and Cardines are also injured and are missing the opportunity to show what they can do in Munoz's absence.

I doubt Boey would be joining to be an understudy, so if there is/was any genuine interest in him it could mean that the Munoz injury is worse than thought or we are contemplating the sale of Munoz.

I noted that v Man City Glasner even gave Sarr a go at RWB towards the end of the game such is the importace of the attacking elements of the role in our system.
