The issue isn’t only the price, we only have 2 weeks left, we can’t leave it much longer as we need time to get a replacement. Palace could continue to string us along up to the deadline.

 

We'd be up past £100M by then at this rate .

 

I'd also call it now, like, for whatever it's worth. I'd be surprised to see us go back to the well again.

They'll want £65 mill upfront I reckon.

 

It's too much, sack it off.

Based on the clauses for Olise and Eze I think you may be right (about them wanting it upfront).

[pinkeye]

Wonder what Guehi is making of all this?

Is he genuinely interested to join us?  He and Gordon seemed to be pretty close in the Euros.  

 

 

[NWMag]

wow, that’s crazy. Surely we move on now.

Wanting cash up front the same time as a major shareholder wants to sell. Are they thinking they can bleed it dry of cash on the way?

Logan 20mill looks a deal to be done now

[Dr.Spaceman]

Got to be better value out there

[Memphis]

I'd say you have to walk away now. 

[Nucasol]

Nope, crossed the Rubicon of sensibleness with that price. Time to walk away and find better value.

Good value, but doubt we go near him on character grounds.

[JP]

Can't fault Palace but i'd walk away now too.

 

If it was Bruno and City, say, were offering 80-85-90-95? we'd be happy club kept rejecting.

[ExiledGeordie]

Oh dear 😂

[Dokko]

Shocker of a window so far. We seem to allow ourselves to be messed around quite regularly. I understand trying to get the best deal but we must know we've started far too low and nowhere near, and if so, this far into the window, wtf we playing at?

 

Go get Gonzalez and Thiaw from Italy for the same price palace want for Guehi.

What others times have we been messed around ? I can’t remember any others.

I do believe our offer is far from 65m for him.

its most likely potentially 65m , but with a lot of incentives.

Guess we are in the phase where the finer details are being discussed.

 

Palace leak to the press to prepare the supporters and to give the impression they rinsed us.

Gonzalez wants to move to Juve.

You don't get to a 4th bid, and the level of confidence that we've had about it, without them being willing sellers.

 

Seems to me like we do

Botman. Tosin. Lingard. Maddison. Ekitike.

Read in the Athletic we'd agreed term with Thiaw before pivoting to Guehi. I wonder if we revisit that deal.

😀 Not like you to be negative mate.

 

A few things...

 

1) The only reason this seems like we're being messed around is because it's playing out in public. For example, I know for a fact that when we signed AG10, it was our fifth attempt that finally got him. But it never felt like we were being messed around... it's just the constant reporting that makes this one feel that way.

 

2) Thiaw is a decent player, but Guehi is considerably better. Howe has made it clear they're looking for players who can come in and make a difference immediately and improve the starting 11. I don't personally feel like Thiaw would do that.

 

3) Gonzalez is just agent talk I believe.

 

[STM]

I'd rather we moved on and signed noone than compromised on ability.

 

None of this let's go sign Thiaw or Chalobah carry on. No thanks. Keep the money and sign the targets we actually rate.

 

I can handle not signing Guehi but I won't be best pleased if we sign worse players off the back of it.

 

Keep our money until January if needed, and have someone proper lined up.

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Surely our recruitment team can identify better-value players on the continent or elsewhere?
 

These prices are premium for a club that’s had well-publicised struggles with FFP.

The difference is we have been open that to sell Bruno the fee was £100m, and there was a deadline to do the deal.

We don’t leak details of other clubs bids via the media, we try to do our business professionally and in private. Our ITK’s haven’t got a clue, and for good reason. Palace have leaked this time and again, it’s a game to them.
