Menace Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 1 hour ago, Shadow Puppets said: How? It's not just one source, and everything they've told me has been pretty much correct, apart from the fact he hasn't signed yet. They are (or at least as of last time I spoke to them) very confident of getting him. They're also absolutely 100% correct that he wants the move. They just thought it would have happened sooner than this. How can they expect him to sign when Palace haven't accepted a bid and aren't playing ball? You also stated they wanted him in before the the weekend - last weekend. I'm not having a go neither but you are moving goal posts a little bit here like.

In the financial environment we're in and where the amount of money involved is getting on for the value of a couple of proven decent performers or prospects it's surely not that surprising that some people aren't completely sold on this one. It's not like we're chasing somebody who's universally acknowledged as one of the finest centre halves ever to grace the league.

I personally think the last bid was too much, but I'll give the club the benefit of the doubt. I don't really see what's embarssing about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Need to pull a Salako-Ginola here. Were going to pay more than he's worth or have wasted our time at this point I feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 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.

Mazzy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

TK-421 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) 3 minutes ago, nufcnick said: For all we know palace keep moving the goal posts 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.

STM Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 25 minutes ago, The Prophet said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Jordan Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Fuck Palace and move onto another target. Could sign a CB just as good and a right winger for £70m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
