Marc Guehi

[BennyBlanco]

The mail running with the decision resting with Guehi now.

 

Surely we’ve put the feelers out to see if he even wants to come in the first place?🙈😂

I am hoping that after the window everyone gets their heads together to ensure lessons are learned. Not just about bringing players in, but selling them at the right time. Won’t go into details but we have some mediocre players on our books that are depreciating in value. We have had the chance to cash in and failed to do so. Needs to be reviewed to ensure that moving forward we are better.

Thing is their egos are looking like they're going to be very bruised regardless of what happens now:

 

We chase him for 5 weeks and still don't land him - they look stupid

 

We eventually close the deal but we end up overpaying and caving in to Palace's demands - they look weak

I disagree - we’d make offers and they get turned down so we but no one doesn’t make us look stupid as we’ve always said we’re not buying just for the sake of it.  The only people that will slag us off is our own fans.

Be typical if he does a Freedman and signs a new deal. Would be one of the most unambitious acts I’ve ever witnessed mind

That part isn’t a problem, don’t worry.

I just think if we've chased him for a month and subsequently don't get him we do look a bit daft. Or incapable of closing a deal on our #1 target? Either way it looks pretty shit if you're Mitchell

And then Guehi turns out to be a bit shit. Imo he doesn't have the qualities but I won't get into that again.. Does he have the character to handle the massively inflated fee? 15 of the top 20 transfers in the PL couldn't.. far better footballers and stronger characters than fucking Guehi if I may add..

 

Christ, you really don’t like the lad  

[toontownman]

We will likely bomb out to forest anyway but presume we would ask Guehi not to play for palace and cup tie himself tomorrow? If the move was likely?

[Matt1892]

I don’t think the fee will weigh on his mind, he comes across as top level headed for that to be a factor.

 

The unusual thing with this transfer is that we have always looked for opportunities in the market with players that we can exploit, yet arguably we are the ones being exploited here, by paying over the odds based on his performance at the Euros.

 

He is going to have to put in some worldie performances to maintain that value.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Fairly promising that this has come from the guy that Palace clearly brief?

 

Although, that could mean he's been asked to basically do a 'last chance to buy' bit of PR before they resoundingly reject the offer 

 

Strange goings on at Palace, likely driven by the ownership turmoil. Potentially losing quite a few key players/characters without securing great replacements.

[Kimbo]

Even if we get him I feel like we’ve been bent over by Parish. Crazy crazy fee.

[Chapo]

We’re like Jerry Maguire on the blower for ages to Cuba Jr.

You think 15 of those are of strong character? Anthony? Paul Pogba? Enzo Fernandez? Jadon Sancho?

You can argue about his ability but have no idea why you are calling his character into question.

Half of them are just Chelsea having mental health problems.

Ornstein live on SSN a few minutes ago. Was non-committal. 

[The Prophet]

Worth baring in mind Mokbel is a Parish mouthpiece when discussing these things.

[jack j]

He will be captaining palace v Norwich tomorrow and clapping all 4 corners of the ground after the game again

Agree with this. It’s different from every transfer we’ve done.

[NWMag]

We need it done tomorrow, get him in the squad for Wednesday, 30 mins appearance then straight into the starting XI at the weekend.

We are in a difficult position where we need real quality players to challenge for top 4 but can't offer European football or crazy wages. So whilst the fee is high I still think it's an opportunistic signing in a way that's there's not going to be competition from any of the other top clubs that there would be in most other windows.
