I wouldn’t be surprised if nothing happens until after 30th June when the £70 million plus loss from 22/23 drops off the PSR calculation.

I get you but we’re like a week in. You want wait at least a little bit to see if better offers are forthcoming.

Yeah so my point stands. He came in off games against Man City, Liverpool and Brighton. Of course we improved after those games. It was nothing to do with Longstaff.

One in Ten - in homage to the ratio of seasons they mention NETD.

Welcome home son

Howe did tbf.

I’m amazed anyone expected any movement at this stage like. Everything we’ve experienced suggests it’ll be much later in the summer.

No lie I think the moment where he danced is the among the angriest I've ever been.

A man who was physically forced to celebrate a cup win and a man who danced because his team scored a goal in a final.

Could easily get the same £125k + a 8-figure signing-on bonus next summer at Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City or Liverpool.

Getting them signed before the 115 charges.

On the other hand he is young and rated whereas Sean is proven to be crap.

There were precisely TWO mackems at Blaydon comp when I went there. First one - CDT teacher. Actually from Sunderland, decent bloke actually. For a mackem 'Mackem' #2 - contrarian little shit who 'supported' Sunderland just to try and be different, never went to one match as far as I know. Never once seen one of these cunts wearing their colours in the Blaydon / Winlaton area. Or heard that wretched fucking accent Edit: I know this isn't the arguement being made but I wouldn't put it past them to retcon any of this area into being some kinda former stronghold, dafties.

Guehi is only on 50,000 a week. He would probably 2.5 times his wage at Newcastle and play UCL football. I think he would be interested.

Sometimes you need to pay the price because the benefits of owning that thing now can far outweigh the benefits of saving some money but then possibly not getting that thing. Howe’s heavy insistence on speed of action has me rather spooked, I’ll admit.

Not like Hope to be wrong.

Yeah I think Guehi is probably happy to run down his contract, might not even be that arsed about coming here. But I think Palace would rather have £35-40m than nowt. Unless they have money to burn.

Still alive Christ it’s June 11th not deadline day. Gonna be a long summer

Agree. It's in Guehi's interest to reject a transfer this summer and assess his options next year. Get a colossal signing on bonus to boot.

That's still my point. I don't think they will take a 40% reduction on their value, especially as Guehi won't push for it. I think 15%-30% tops. If we land him, it's not going to be much of a cut-price deal*. It's been a long time since a PL club has done that with a top player because of a contract situation without the player pushing. Again, I don't think they are dependent on his sale, to get his replacement. *Unless Palace circumstances suddenly shift. I also think Guehi is happy to run down his contract. He'll get more money and a bigger club if he does so. What are Palace going to do - not play him?

If only it were that simple. It all depends on demand for a player at the end of the day. If there are a few clubs eyeing up Longstaff we might well get £20m.

Good times.

We love a fucking summer long saga don't we.
