Geordie_once_removed Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 (edited) This whole "not enough to contemplate" line smacks of braggartry. You say that if you're offered half of what you want, not if you're after £70 million and you're offered £65. It's all very used car salesmen/estate agent posturing. I'd sack it off and go for Murillo and put some more towards a RW with a bit more guile than Murphy and Almiron.

I know it’s best to keep emotions out of ‘business’ decision making, but I am struggling to restrain a rising fuckyouedness about this deal now. Think we should move on. Maybe pick him up next season for less, if still needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Luque Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Also hate this sell-on percentage fee business. You made a previous deal so that another club gets 20%? Not our fucking problem. Palace want their cake and eat it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 I can't blame palace for this debacle, other than perhaps leaking the offers to the media. I don't believe they are upping the price either, we just haven't offered them what they believe their asset is worth. They have the right to set a price and if that's not met, refuse the offer. They don't need the money so hold all the cards, so all we can do is either give them what they want or walk away, but we should stop hating them for doing the best for themselves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upthemags Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Might be a blessing in disguise - bizarre how hard Palace have held the line despite there being zero other bidders, and off a data set that is pretty much no larger than the Euros. I have no doubt we have offered them the most they'll get. Starting xi upgrades are needed of course, but its honestly not even clear Guehi gets in when we're fully healthy. People forget just how good Schar was last season, save a few flubs. And, not for anything, he was arguably the most dangerous player on the pitch in that SUI England match, outshining Guehi himself. All of which is to say we'll be fine. Worst case, we go into January with PSR reserves to reinforce as needed - a luxury we didn't have last year. No doubt we're still going to smash the league this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 I say push on and get it all done, at the end of the day if we take one of their star players and he does well for us nobody is gonna remember all of this public posturing and acting the hard lad. It'll just be a top player making a step up in his career from a club aspiring to be a mid table club happy to just be in the league to one with real aspirations of competing at the top of it. If they feel they won the posturing then that's alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Can only imagine the alternatives are not presenting themselves as absolute bargains either. Otherwise I doubt we’d contemplating overpaying (which is sometimes justified) for Guehi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Charnley Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 I think we have enough to get through to Botman being back then get Guehi next summer on the cheap. Though, I bet 50M buys Tomori. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt we're still going to smash the league this year. Guehi didn’t play vs Switzerland. So I should hope he did outshine him. Regarding our strongest XI. You could well be right. But you’re conveniently ignoring the fact that Schar is coming up 33 and his contract expires at the end of the season. So are we not looking to the future, as well? Burn isn’t young in footballing terms and neither is Lascelles. The latter is currently crocked and I think his contract is also up in 2025. Again. These players will need replacing or at least another option to compete with them. Botman is also out for an unspecified amount of time and will take time to get back up to speed. Kelly is very injury prone. So even ignoring the fact that I think he would play a lot of minutes. Either through necessity, rotation or because of how good he is. Then I can still see why they might be so keen on him right now. They may well see it as a chance to get the CB they want for the next 5-7-10 years or whatever and possibly even future captain material. He would instantly help the squad this season. As well as being a mainstay for seasons to come. As we are clearly going to need to refresh that defence over the next year or two. Leave it until January or next season. Then it would leave us light at the back and also open it up to other clubs at a lower price or because of teams suddenly needing another defender. So we could well miss out. I suppose some fans wouldn’t care and think the price is too steep. But the club and the people that matter might think the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
