Well, quite. Pretty sure that applies to nearly every big transfer deal in the world?

 

”oh no, hope we don’t spend money on a player in case he gets injured”

Other clubs who paid this amount could afford it even if it fails

 

we are doing this when we are having PSR limit problem

 

yea I know no more PSR boredom. Forget it. I am in the “fuck it just spend and enjoy” camp now. Ok?

There's no way this Guehi deal puts us in PSR trouble. It might be the only deal we can do (without outgoings) and it might take us close but I don't think for a second we would put ourselves in that position again.

 

Call myself Mr positivity pants though.

But the point is, that's the same for any player we might dump a load of cash on, not just Guehi. Anyone we spend upwards of £40m on we really need to be a success, avoid injury etc.

 

So do we just bottle it, stick with what we've got and hang around that 7th to 10th area or do we take the risk, spend money on a player we have extensively scouted, is our top target and hope Eddie can coach an extra 25-50% out of them?

I agree, based solely on Douglas article where he said the club told him we will never allow ourselves to be in the same position as this summer (regarding needing to sell).

If it means we drop our alleged interest in Joe Gomez for £45m then get it done.

Whilst I think the fee palace want is outrageous this does put it into context.

 

If Gomez is 45m then Guehi is up toward 60m, in the market.

I think we will end up paying a premium for Guelhi, but I really don't want players like Gomez who won't close the gap with clubs like Liverpool.

Few hours and we'll have a better idea of how advanced any bids/talks are. If Guehi actually starts you'd imagine we're still a way off with any agreement. Anything else and you'd think the deal has a good chance of getting done this week, especially if he's not even in the squad, that seems unlikely though.

He'll start unless a deal is agreed imo.

I do agree with that up to a point. We don't know how he feels about this how situation and that could be a factor in whether he's in the right frame of mind to play or not.

I don't see why he wouldn't start. We haven't agreed a fee, for all Palace know we could walk away from the deal.

I’d imagine they already know if we have or not tbh. Personally think we are still in talks and will get him.

He’ll start today put in a man of the match performance and Palace will add another £10m up the price :lol:

 

Bangs in a couple of own goals, and takes off his jersey at full-time to reveal his Newcastle top.

Douglas suggested on Twitter yesterday that Palace want 75 million, just don’t think where at the stage in terms of finances where we should be paying that yet for a central defender.

 

Not sure how easy it is but can we not offload some of our cast offs to Saudi for inflated fees ? Saying that what didn't they come to our rescue in the summer ?
