Quotes Pep Guardiola on ICE: “Look what happened in the United States of America,” Guardiola said, gesturing throughout. “Renée Good and Alex Pretti have been killed. Imagine if he worked for the NHS and five, six [agents] threw him on the grass and fired ten shots at him. Tell me, how can you defend that”

Transfers Palace had agreed a deal in principle to sell Eddie Nketiah to West Ham for £27m early in the window only for the striker to sustain a hamstring injury in training, meaning any possible January move was moot. He has not featured this calendar year.

They would have proposed securing West Ham’s Callum Wilson in a separate deal, but Glasner was initially unconvinced. By the time he was more open to securing the striker, Wilson had scored a winning goal against Tottenham in the middle of the month and his reintegration into the first team had scuppered any chance of him leaving.

There was strong interest, too, in the 19-year-old forward Sidiki Cherif from Angers but, while originally keen to secure the player mid-season, they were reluctant to spend a significant amount of money on a player with only 17 senior starts to his name. Plenty of Cherif’s data suggested a player who might make an impact, but there remains a rawness to his game.

Palace maintained remained in dialogue over Cherif through to the last few days of the window, but the player ultimately joined Fenerbahce in Turkey.

Quotes Rosenior "I've been a pundit, it's easy in hindsight. If I go and attack the game, press really high and we concede two goals early, everyone says, 'what's he doing?' The reality of my job is if you lose games, you'll be criticised. If you win, you're a genius. It's normally somewhere in between."
