Jonas Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 For twitter/X accounts posting filler stuff like that is their raison d'etre, especially if employed to do it, but the raison d'etre of twitter/x is just publicising brain farts it seems to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 9 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Yes, I'm citing the video Downie put out last night where he said his feeling was that this would get wrapped up quickly. Until another bid is on the table though they have to treat him as their player. If we suddenly changed targets and they didn't do the "welcome back" tweet for him, it would look a bit cack on their part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 4 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: FWIW, I work in web content in a marketing department and it's perfectly rational - if you're going to tweet something out, you'll probably make sure what you put out isn't going to age like warm sick. It's likely just a 'business as usual' message in the midst of speculation, which is probably the most sensible way to operate in football given how volatile it is. Not sharing a welcome back photo (such is the custom of club's social media accounts) would have an air of resignation about it, when of course the Guehi transfer could easily fall through for numerous reasons.

Unless they're incompetent anyway. I agree they will/ought to be relatively well integrated into the goings on at the club. They won't be as cut off from other club operations as some appear to think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous to not know who your team is going to be by this stage. 100% agree. I'm against transfer windows altogether, but if they're going to exist, having them end weeks into a new season is totally stupid and unnecessary.

Aye I think we’d be hearing that a deal is on the rocks due to valuations etc by now. This is going to potentially be a record deal so it will be payments schedules, agents fees, legal stuff now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The clubs were in talks before the first offer went in, so I imagine the offer was in the ballpark, or why bother making it. If those initial talks had been miles apart they’d have moved onto other targets. My guess is there’s some back and forth. “We want more upfront” rather than a straight “no” with the revised offer to be more of a “How about £x more upfront plus £y after 50 appearances” etc etc, but it’s close.

KaKa Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) Palace take their time. It was the same with Bayern closing the Olise deal, even though there was a release clause. Apparently the way they structure contracts, there's certain protocols that need to be followed when trying to sign their players. No news is good news. Even regarding other clubs possibly being interested and coming in, they'd have to go through the same process, and we are much further down the line already.

End of the day it’s just a tiny club trying to protect itself. Also thinking some of the delay is being caused by Palace wanting a replacement 100% confirmed before PL KO.

Checko Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'm pretty sure that maybe we could sign Guehi, or possibly there's a chance we might not. Either way that's probably good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
