Glasner stated that the team is still in a good position in the league and competitions, but felt that January is too late to address the team's needs. He also highlighted the challenges posed by injuries and player departures, specifically mentioning Ismaila Sarr's injury and upcoming Africa Cup of Nations commitment.

Glasner's comments suggest that he feels the team missed an opportunity to strengthen the squad during the summer. His current contract with Crystal Palace is set to expire at the end of the season, and he has been linked with several top Premier League clubs.
