KaKa Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 £55 million + an additional £5 million is an exceptional offer. If that's really been rejected. No need for anymore please. Let them keep him and we'll see how his future plays out with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I mean we could play fantasy all day long about what’s a good buy, terrible buy, amazing buy before any of them happen. The reality is, we had to sell a great prospect this summer in order not to face a big points penalty and we had to explore other deals we didn’t want to make. We have to have a limit to how far we’ll go. Signing a £30m defender who doesn’t perform would be shit, signing a £30m defender who proves to be amazing would be class. Let’s just wait and see what happens on that front but we can’t be getting bullied in negotiations when we’re such a fragile club financially Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 209 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just been browsing the Guehi thread on the CPFC equivalent of this site - it seems many on there aren't too bothered what the outcome of this saga is, with a few thinking he wouldn't be too badly missed.

If we're a few million away or whatever from the target we see as the first choice as our long term signing, surely it's worth pursuing? I already think they have moved on. We have given 3 different bids now and surely there has been discussions between the two clubs of what was required. Got a feeling goalposts have been moved. You can't let other clubs piss on you and I'm quite sure our owners will be of the same opinion Edited August 13 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) I dunno why but the term generational talent has annoyed me. It’s Marc Guehi ffs not Nesta or Cannavaro. Edited August 13 by Likelylad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively we could spend £30M on a CB who ends up being a poor buy and having to get rid in a couple of years. He goes into the last year of his contract next summer. Offering £60 million, only for Parish to come out talking about superstar money, is ridiculous stuff from him. It's not just a fair offer. It's a great offer. We've signed numerous players in that £30 million range that have been great for us. More than happy to go that route again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will know when to walk away or if a deal is still there for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very surprised if anything else happens now from our side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Could maybe stretch from £55m + £5m to a flat out £60m but even that's on the border of acceptability. Then again, if the alternative is only Thiaw, maybe it's worth pushing with Guehi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 12 minutes ago, Erikse said: Just like Ashworth was deemed a liability in here after going. Tbf Palace just put their best run of form together in years from January, and Guehi played about 95 minutes of it (in midfield, mostly)... Can see why their fans may think they can get by without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelrouser Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Generational, super-star talents have more than one club sniffing about. De Ligt went for £38M + £3M add ons. Lets find another Botman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 At this point I’d be happy to start Kelly alongside Schar and have Hall at LB. Kelly is 3” taller and looks quicker to me. Bournemouth fans seem to really rate Kelly, we can’t get fixated over Guehi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
