But Vieira can be confident he will be at Selhurst Park significantly longer than Frank de Boer managed, with a crop of young talent leading the cause for optimism. Palace have splashed out £18m to bring Guehi to Selhurst Park, with the centre back joining from Chelsea and signing a five-year deal. He has represented England at every level from U16 through to U21, and has spoken about how Palace's crop of young talent helped convince him to join. Only Southampton and West Brom conceded more Premier League goals than Palace last season, so Vieira will be hoping Guehi can help solidify the back-line. A knee issue was a problem when Ferguson arrived at Selhurst Park, and setbacks have then followed during his rehab.
