Schar isn't a weakness, but he turns 33 this year and his deal expires at the end of the season. I'd fully expect him to sign an extension mind with the amount out of contract at the same time.

He looks very tidy on the ball, but is he a decent defender? The praise seems a bit much after one game.

We were down to ten men for a majority of the game mind, we had no right winger on the pitch.

Enjoyed Isak giving him some after the incident too.

Palace fans seem to think Guehi and Anderson will leave mind. They signed a CB earlier in the window too.

I like Lacroix too, wouldn't have been adverse to us going for him.

Who's off then, Anderson or Guehi?

Aye, in a nutshell we're nonplussed at the talk of multiple bids been knocked back. Do teams even "bid"? I assumed it is just a series of discussion until an outcome is reached or one of the parties withdraws?

What about when started belting out "You'll Never Walk Alone" before KO?

Caulkin also echoed what Edwards is reporting on Friday (I think was).

To be fair Mokbel et al said it was "set to be rejected". It was weird wording.

All the NE journos were saying the opposite as of this morning.

Milan fans gagging for us to go back in for Thiaw Also before I log out of a horrific app, a couple of Palace ITKs claiming we've already returned with another proposal. Same money, but different structure. They're probably Croyden's answer to Burnsie though.

Can only think he's trying to smoke out other interested parties. It's a one horse race at the moment.

In his last interview, Parish said Guehi is the more likely of the two to go.

We've bid for two of them and have a habit of returning for targets.

Should be a busy couple of weeks if nothing else.

Parish mentions "the order of the deal". Definitely feels like it's the structure they're thrashing out.

He comes across well, but the presenter tries to talk us down a bit.
