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.


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

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.

I thought that there is a clause that meant that Chelsea get a higher sell on % if he signs after start of season.

 

which in my eyes makes this deal less likely

Who the fuck even thinks of that as a clause?

I never said that at all like. That’s been fabricated from the snippet of info I shared from an agent that said we had financial reasons to get the deal done before the start of the season, and said it had something to do with “a Chelsea clause”. No idea on details further than that.

I still think this happens, they’ve invested too much time and effort into this already and will look like even bigger knackers if they don’t get it done.

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..

Tbf, half that list is due to Chelsea and Man Utd just spunking money at anything that moves.

Any movement on Lacroix to Palace? Wouldn't surprise me if this is the last hurdle.

Palace are at home to Norwich tonight in the Carabao Cup. Knowing Newcastle’s ambitions to win a trophy, I don’t think we will be dropping £70m on a cup-tied Marc Guehi, so it’ll be a telling sign if he’s missing from their squad.
