Marc Guehi

[midds]

The fact he's conducted a live interview with SSN is enough for me to say fuck it and walk away from him and them. He's got every right to dig his heels in and ask for as much as he thinks we can get away with but to air it all publically like that a huge no-no from me. By all means reject it but keep it private and at boardroom level. 

 

And that's before we even get into the realms of the undoubted 'Newcastle cave in and pay whatever Palace wanted' drivel that would follow any bid being accepted. Sends out a message that we'll bend over and take it for any old shite like Man U have for the last decade. Once you get that reputation you'll overpay for every player you go in for. Fuck it, there's other CBs - Guehi is class and I'd love to see him in black and white but not after this like

[ElDiablo]

Approaching boring territory anyway. Go and get Murillo from Forest.

No we don't, need to build the squad and team, if he helps us get champions league and keeps us right side of league then it pays for itself over time. We can't not pay for decent players just because of sell on alone. Need to look at total ROI. PSR important aspect but seems a worthwhile investment.

I disagree mate we aren't city or the top six with a nice safety belt when it comes to ffp. We need to do our homework accordingly.

He's 24 though, we could get 4 good years out of him and still sell at a very decent price even if we didn't recoup all of it. You have to think of the value he'd provide as a player during that time as well.

The way FFP works you don't even need to sell for more than what you paid to make a "profit"

I was meaning roughly around what you payed with the way this game is going. 

[KaKa]

That Steve Parish quote and video is really off putting.

 

Would actually like us to go and get someone else now.

 

They can keep him and try and get him to sign a new contract or get far less for him next summer.

 

"Superstar money" for goodness sake. Leave him to it man.

Walk away. 70m for Guehi is madness. There are many good defenders you can buy. 

 

There aren't many out there called Marc Guehi.

 

I don't know the costs involved, but we should happily pay 90+ million for a genuine Marc Guehi.

Everytime you buy unless it's a star player like Bellingham etc you look at long term with recouping close to what you payed for players. As we grow a lot of these players will be moved on. 

Who is a lot of these players?

Everyone we buy to get us to our desired level.

Yeah, he may be worth £50m and I wasn’t averse to just paying the extra £5m ‘just to get it done’. Now I’d say £50m take it or leave it and start looking at other players.

If we did bring Guehi in for say 65 million. we'd not make that back I can tell you in the future if we'd looked to sell. 

Why would we sell? Could be our main CB for the next 10 years

[nemtizz]

The fact they're not flat out rejecting the bid and are resorting to this performative nonsense suggests there are issues with the payment structure.

 

Hope we get him but please lord don't let that Pardew loving freak rinse us.

Feels like to me theirs a need for 1 player to be a big talent, a top draw purple starting 12 or whatever you want to call it. This window was meant to be transformative, and while I’m not against any of the work done so far and agree with a lot of it, it still feels lacking 

Is that just this transfer window in general for all clubs, well apart from Chelsea

I would 100% endorse this.

[et tu brute]

Have we not already walked away and that's the reason why he's mouthing off now.

[bobbydazzla]

If Palace demand more than the upper limit that our bean counters and transfer committee think we should pay for him, then we move on

 

We can't force Palace (or any club) to sell their asset and I trust NUFC to have made the right decision and not end up going daft inna Will Grigg stylee

 

But for the Palace chairman to go on telly and publicly discuss what we believe is an ongoing transfer negotiation, well that's just wideboy antics. This wasn't his gaffer in a presser getting asked about the transfer, it was a premeditated media move

 

Do your business behind closed doors you fucking spiv

I somewhat agree, not the most professional approach spouting off to Sky, but he's protecting his asset and what he values the player at. We'd want the same for our star players.

He does look an absolute gobshite, though. Like a character from Peaky Blinders.  

[Hhtoon]

Pretty much what I'd want us to say if someone bid for one of a players and we didn't need to sell. They can value him at whatever they want.

 

They'll give him a new contract to make him happy and limit their exposure next year.

 

Move the fuck on

Thing with that Parish interview is that he was clearly at some sort of event when asked the question, wasn’t as if he held a deliberate press conference.  And what’s he really meant to say? Go no comment ? What sort of message would that be to Palace fans, his customers.  It was PR, and pretty good PR at that for his club.  If we’re still at the table it’s probably close, need to just wait and see.  Maybe payment structures, upfront payments etc etc. 

 

[ExiledGeordie]

Just watched that video and yeah I’m inclined to agree with moving on now sadly. 70m (if that’s what they want) is too much for me. We’ve made our 3 bids, they don’t think it’s enough, move on to other targets. 

[Yorkie]

Palace are well within their rights to bleed anyone for every penny they can for one of their prized assets. If they want to deny themselves an incredible financial package in favour of keeping their player, that's entirely their prerogative. 

 

Seem incredibly tough to deal with and I get the vibe that they don't particularly want to deal with us specifically after the Freedman stuff.

Yep, if what he says is true, its unlikely to be news to our lot and he's simply trying to save face.

fwiw, we did get the first salvo off in the moral/PR battle of who jilted who by saying we were also "looking at other targets".
