BennyBlanco Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Fucking hell. At the very highest limit of his valuation here for me. Has to be the last bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton played CB for 10 minutes in one of the pre season games, maybe with should try that if this offer is turned down as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laviofies Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 A fourth offer? He better outperformed all the expectation if he signed for us otherwise we are gonna get memed for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancrate1892 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 5th offer made, £70m plus isak, Gordon, Bruno, Barry venison, pingle and half of strawberry place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 4 minutes ago, duo said: It's like he's ourvonly target for the position and we don't have a back up Think it's more the fact he's our clear first choice CB and we're prepared to go the extra to do it. We're just not used to this. Ashley would have moved on to a St-Etienne centre-back for £5m at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I wonder how many bids usually get put in during a transfer process, like in general. But aren’t often leaked/made public. Like, I can’t imagine most signings (between any club) only have 1 bid before it’s accepted. Could it be “normal” for transfers to have 3/4/5 bids before it gets accepted? But not made public like this one seems to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Surprised we've gone that high - if I was in charge I'd have walked away. Crucially though, the people who actually are in charge know what they're doing so if they think he's worth that and we can afford it then I'm all in. He really impressed me at the Euros, would give us top-class cover at CB and between him, Botman, Hall and Tino basically sort our backline for the next 5+ years. Real statement of ambition too.

Andy84 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Only thing questionable for me is this mail journalist leaking is clearly doing so for the benefit of Palace.

Can't see any team needing or wanting a £65m+ CB at present apart from us. That still won't stop Chelsea mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I know Man U are renowned for wasting money and paying massively over-inflated fees. But reading the article, mentioning Wan Bissaka at £50m was the outgoing transfer record for Palace. Wow. Makes £60m’ish 5 years later for Guehi seem like a good deal.

The Prophet Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 It's a steep price, but if he's a constant in the back line for the next ten years he'll be worth it. I always back the club on incoming transfers, they've earned it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to try and maximise the sale mind, this is the last chance and literally peak value for them. I think Guehi is very good mind, but I do question this transfer, it’s a bit like the Barnes one for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Seems like such a lot of money but it's probably because we're just not used to being that club. He's only 24 and his stock is already pretty high. The thought of him playing alongside Botman, potentially for years, is pretty delicious. I'm sure we have other targets but there's clearly a mindset within the club that this can get done and that he'll make a huge difference to the side. I'm all for it. I think he'll be class.

Hope it’s not all a game for Palace to show their fans how big and hard they are by keeping him I liked the idea - can't remember if i read it here or elsewhere - that Parish's appearances last week were to both project that kind of strength for the fans and to request just a little more from us to get it done. Now that we have, he can do the old "well we just can't turn down that kind of money" routine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Him and Botman as a partnership with their age profile is well worth £100m in today’s market. Let’s goooo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Feels like we're buying him on eBay. Those in the know at the club must have been quietly fizzing when Maguire went down injured and he got called upon as first choice at the Euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
