Marc Guehi

[Sibierski]

Leave him, let Palace go down, and sign for half the price in summer.

[CheikBoom]

Last off the pitch there, and by quite a distance too. Applauding fans… waving goodbye? 

[Whitley mag]

Watched a bit of this can’t say he comes across as a commanding CB, he’s got pace which we have been crying out for so hopefully alongside someone like Botman it’s a good blend.

He was ordinary last week as well. Hype must be getting to him

[Theregulars]

Come on, Marc. You know what’s good for you

[Memphis]

Head's gone. Heart's already black and white.

Was class first half. 

[ponsaelius]

Yeah I definitely don't think he's commanding, certainly not aerially. His ability on the ball and pace would be great assets to have for us, alongside his personality, but do worry a bit if we play him alongside Schar.

 

I have always generally been against paying big transfer fees for defenders, because I've felt defending was more coaching and organisation and you can get more from less. The VVD signing broke the mould on that for me - seeing how transformative he was and worth Liverpool both waiting and then paying the big £. On a similar note looking at a player like Gvardiol and what he offers as a footballer to City.

 

If we do sign him I think it's not 100% that he'd be worth the money - but I'd trust the club as we seem determined.

[KaKa]

A big part of this transfer is definitely what they think he'd add to the team character wise and leadership wise.

 

 

[STM]

He's also 24 lads. Just a pup in CB terms.

[mattypnufc]

Heads been turned. Worrying.

And unfortunately for us in a way, the same reason he won’t force it through from his end.

[Whitley mag]

Guehi strikes me as a good defender in one on one situations, has pace, good character and very good on the ball, however positionally and in the air seem to be weaknesses. 

Never keen on paying a PL premium, but all the CB’s we’ve been linked with have flaws, so just get this fucker done and hope he thrives playing on the big stage.

He shouldn't have to tbh.

 

If the clubs can't agree on a fee then we should sign someone else.

Last week he got beaten one on one

[STM]

Look at it this way. Whatever he is now, he will be at least 20% better 6 months after he signs.

I can’t help but feel the second choice is likely a fair step down in terms of being a known quantity and ability.. but you’re right. The clock is ticking now.

I actually think this happens after today. They’d be wise to cash in and think that’s what’ll happen.

[Pilko]

Glad to see that Palace push for Europe going well. Won a few games at the arse end of last season and suddenly think you're Brazil 1970

To be fair some of them few games was away to Liverpool, us and Man U

[Armchair Pundit]

On current standards he's barely worth £50m, fed up with the furore over it all to be honest - I'd still rather we went for one of the foreign league centre backs we've been linked with as a cheaper alternative. No way we should be dancing to Palace's tune on this.

They might be shitting themselves over having to embed two new centre backs straight into a faltering team and what it could mean for Premier League survival.

Hopefully the gimpy Palace Ultras might retire their black hoodies for a couple of weeks.

They’ll be ok, the three promoted teams are absolute dogshit.

Exactly. They were on fire. 

 

Makes it even more bizzare they've shipped Olise. Andersen and, possibly, Guehi
