Amongst all the noise - this is very odd to how we usually do transfers. I don't like the amount of attention this whole saga has got. All of our big signings were done relatively quick and with no drama.

Clearly coming from Palace’s end.

Yeah, saw a few the other day saying he's done more for his last club Bournemouth getting the Georgian keeper on loan than he has for them. :lol:

If we’ve made four bids, and have not got close to a deal, this has been a monumental fuck up by the board IMO.

 

You don’t make this many offers, and spend this much time on a target (and probably already got agreements with Guehi) to not have a clear picture and agreement with Palace to what’s need for an offer to be accepted.

Guehi is a 40m player. Good player, but short and weak in the air. He isn't Van Djik pre injury. 70m is a robbery. And you need also a RW. if you pay this madness price next year you will be in great ffp problems. Again. You need to stop Howe to make the transfer market: great coach but the market isn't his job.

Yep, too many people quick to jump on the club/recruitment team, when we dont know they haven't met what Palace have asked, only for things to change or Palace to complicate things more each time.

Only side making any noise about this, is Palace. Works for them to make it look like us just not stumping up the cash, despite trying to do a deal worth over £70m to them.

We're the only set of fans who could describe going all out for our number one target as "desperate", "pathetic" and "embarrassing".

 

Was just thinking exactly this before you said it.

 

Pathetic was signing Vernon Anita for 6m when we had the chance to really cement our future.

 

Offering 65m for a international CB is ballsy, foolhardy perhaps but ballsy. Anything from pathetic.

Either there's been some huge miscommunication between the two parties about what gets this deal done OR Palace keep moving the goalposts of the deal with every bid we make.

Or this is all just part of a normal transfer, and it happens to all be playing out in public.

I think Palace whilst well within their rights to hold out for a good price, might ultimately live to regret this. Given the fact they sell themselves as a springboard club, I wonder how Guehi feels about them rejecting the latest offer. Especially given he won’t be signing a new contract

I get what you are saying but IF we were to sell Isak now we would want at least double what we paid now so it doesn't really matter that he isn't Isak level of class.

Only from an investment point of view can I justify this money.  Theoretically we wouldn't need to waste a penny on a centre-half for 3-4years should things work out, and I suppose some of the fee is "emergency signing" money to cover the centre-back injuries at present that may as well go toward a purple who'd be good enough for where we want to be long-term.

As a straight up player value, no.

Intriguing.

 

Smart deal. Lacroix is a top defender and he has only one year left in his contract. I had already written here recommending to you Lacroix some time ago... Palace will sell him in two years for 50m.

Have to draw the line and walk away at some point. Probably value to be had elsewhere for 65m. Hes very good, but he's not worth being held over a barrel for. Is he actually worth 65m too? The EUROS has inflated his value and isn't a good yardstick of how good a player is. 

 

Fuck Parish and Palace off and look elsewhere.

Time to look at alternatives, I’m afraid. £65m is seriously pushing it in terms of value and we can’t afford to keep pissfarting about waiting for Palace to leak their position through the Daily Mail.

Let's just get him then
