I genuinely dont think we take longer than other clubs, just feels that way as we're closer to the toon. Go on any fans forums of other clubs and they complain about all the same shit we do

Very different types of winger with different attributes. Love them both.

The stadium is the one. That's the game changer and the one we're going to have to get sorted to truly compete at elite level

There's no expectation on him this season. Hopefully he can thrive with Eddie's coaching, playing with top players and being 3rd choice gives you the underdog label. Hopefully it motivates him.

I do wonder if we'll get a player on loan with an obligation to buy next summer as per the Hall situation last summer

I'm not reading anything into Guehi training at Palace. I'd rather he be full into pre-season than sat on his arse waiting for the deal to be done. Its a major deal. In financial terms the biggest in our clubs history. Be patient and it will happen.

Are they going to blind us to death on opening day?

Not worrying...

I agree. All the sounds from the player are positive which is another big battle won. I've got faith in this happening. Usually you can sense when its bullshit, but this one feels more likely.

Dont believe the Liverpool story for a second. Nothing to back that up, I just have a gut feel for it. Could be wrong.

Here comes the wet knicker brigade overusing the term "worrying"...

Good point. Although not sure what Guehi's status is off these shores but having high profile players is certainly a strategy for brand growth.

Maybe we've realised Murphy is the best RW in world football and we're throwing all our budget at Guehi

Think it will be £50-55m plus add-ons for whoever gets him

If rumours of his current contract ending in 2026 are true then this makes so much sense for us. He's one of the 4 untouchables as far as I'm concerned.

I know we need to balance the books but I hope we get Gordon and Isak tied down to bigger long term deals. Its all gone quiet on Isak's new contract.

Sounds like we wont commit to that RW signing until we've unloaded a couple more high earners... my guess is Miggy and Tripps. Think it will go down to the deadline for us to get our man.

All for this provided we still sign a first choice RW.

We need some positive news... badly. It would pick us all up hugely. Mitchell, come on fella - show us what you can do.

Gordon's contract expires in 2026. If he's not signing a new one we'll have to sell him to maximise value.

Symbolises how much work there is to do. Despite some very top level marketing supporting the 3rd kit launch while over there. Success will give us more fans overseas but it will take time. Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea have dominated the Asian market for years, it will take time to build a following.

Sela are PIF owned. Related party sponsorships were never banned, just regulated. This deal is no indication either way.
