The last England international central defender in their prime to move after successful tournament cost £80m.

I imagine we’ll be very frustrated with how this is going, we’re now two days from the start of the league. We’ve had three bids rejected which are out in the open and they’ve obviously leaked it at their side. We have a player who won’t agitate for the move. I’m not big on hypothetical fantasy land but there aren’t that many great signs here other than if we just want to go big and endanger ourselves in another window

it's getting worse than Hugo Ekitike this one......

Probably. Tbh I would go shop abroad, maybe go for Lacroix or something. What we can’t do is spend the rest of the summer playing Parish’s game.

Jumanji? 😂

It's been going less than two weeks would you believe.

and everyone would agree that Man U overpaid, why would we do the same thing?

[Geordie Boyo]

Aye, there’s no question it’s a ridiculous price to pay, but if Eddie thinks he’ll be a good fit and he’s your first choice, everything will be done to bring him in. Otherwise your plan-B will hopefully be brought in very quickly. 
 

Still a couple weeks to go, but if anything happens with him it’ll probably be by tomorrow or moving on to the next target with all the negotiating that’s took place so far.

I still feel like it’ll get done, a lot of posturing from both sides and a lot of noise from the media but we are still on the table so we’ll be confident we can do it.

 

Not ideal waiting til next season for a lower price when there could be alot more competition for him.

So he wants to come then. Such a stupid saga. 

 

Yep... as I've said he's been openly talking to his friends about it (his friends including some of our squad).

[Sibierski]

At what point does he put in transfer request and publicly push for the move?

Likely part of the reason we are pushing so much to do the deal.

 

Be really unfortunate if it ends up meaning we can't get a right winger in though.

 

Guess we'll see.

[Kid Icarus]

If that last offer was £60m and they've turned it down it's time to move on. Just daft at this point and not really worth what they're asking, as much as I think he's a good player

Because that's the pond we've decided to fish in.

Parish said they had to do what’s fair for all parties. He also said if anyone leaves Palace it will be him. 
 

I have eggs and they’re all going in my Guehi basket

That is exactly why a director of football should be in place to stop this nonsense which may leads to disastrous firesale next Jun

Yeah same, price Palace want for Guehi I would go to Everton with a bid and see what they say.

I'm pretty sure it won't lead to a disastrous firesale. even I think we are overpaying.

Id rather have Chalobah and Madueke for the same price as Guehi

[Chris L]

People saying move on because we are “overpaying” may have a point. But. We would do exactly the same if we had a 24 year old England international CB wanted by other clubs, knowing Chelsea have a 20% sell on clause. Palace probably only value him around the 50-55m mark which is what they’ll get. It’s the 20% add on that’s causing their valuation to go up this high. As mentioned. We would probably do the exact same thing.
