Still waiting to be gazumped by one of the usual suspect clubs.

Hope that it was just a coincidence that Guehi missed most of them games

I think the one game he did have was in central midfield against Aston Villa.

 

He must've done ok.

[ExiledGeordie]

Hopefully we’ll see movement on this over the weekend, would give everyone a massive boost. Big deals often to time to be fair.

[Tiresias]

There were some rumours of them looking for replacement cbs weren't there, wouldn't shock me if they have all but agreed but palace have said only once we've signed someone to replace

[Andy84]

I think we would have had a report of can’t agree terms with Palace by now if it wasn’t happening 

[RodneyCisse]

So they’ve accepted 60m bid?

[Checko]

I can't help but feel we're missing a trick by not publicly complaining that they haven't accepted our offer.

The magic A word is now required, arbitration

Agree.

 

Player wants away if we weren't meeting Palace terms they'd be leaking to sound out another buyer.

Will genuinely be astonished if this happens - feels like another instance of us being used to drum up interest from elsewhere. Suspect Guehi would rather stay another year at Palace in the assumption that another good season + establishing himself as an England regular would make a ‘bigger’ move likely. 

[STM]

I'd be astonished if this DOESNT happen, given everything I've seen with transfers in the past.

 

Sounds like Palace are willing sellers, we are willing buyers and that Guehi has agreed to join us. There is also no other club in for him... as things stand.

 

We could do with getting a wriggle on mind.

100% this for me as well!

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Just seems like things are in progress, it’s only been a few days. 

[Dr Jinx]

It’s a big investment even for the likes of City or Chelsea.. and ManYoo have just spent big on the injured kid.. can’t see either Arsenal or Liverpool biting.

 

It gets done and I think the number is agreed, it’s how the number is delivered that’s holding up the deal.

Aye, it'll happen.. nobody else seems in for him. Palace are just trying to extract as much money as possible. 

[sushimonster85]

Aye. Pretty sure at this stage this happens. For whatever reason our transfers always seem to move this slowly once they get to this point. People just forget this weird few day long phase where it breaks that it's close, only to go quiet for a few days. Happened with Tonali last Summer. I'd hazard a guess that our FFP/PSR situation means we have to do a lot more negotiation around deal structures. 

[The Prophet]

Most transfers of this size take a bit of time, don't think we're particularly fast or slow in that regard.

[STM]

Presumably when we raise our bid by 5m or whatever we need to go through a process, which likely involves a conversation with majority shareholders. It's not as simple as a phone call, besides which, you can't let the selling club think you are desperate because then they will just expect you to up your offer each time.

 

We will be putting together a serious package and we will want Palace to take it very seriously. We've already unsettled their player, so that's half the battle done.

I agree it feels like only a matter of time before he signs.

 

Although I have no reason not to trust the club's judgement on this considering their track record to date, I can't help but feel we're overpaying a fair bit on account of the PL/English player premium and on the back of the Euros where he was hyped a fair bit by the British media. Can't personally say I've ever considered Guehi as one of the best CB's in the PL either. If you'd have asked me to list the 10 best ones over the past two seasons I doubt he'd have made that list.

Out of interest, who would have made your list ?
