Marc Guehi

[Vaj]

It is all very frustrating but let’s not criticise anyone until 11pm on Friday. Still

time to do some deals.

My feeling is that Guehi is the shiny toy Howe wants, and he won’t be happy with any of the other ones on the shelves. Seriously though, I’m just saying this because I see quite a few blaming Eales and PM here and there. Having said that, I’d be shocked if PM didn’t have quite a few options as alternatives. Not looking very promising as of now on the whole. 

 

 

 

This is very obviously what is going on. One of the best identifiers of young talent spends 4 weeks "negotiating" for the most overpriced asset you could probably find in the country right now. The same guy who picked Heung Min Son and Sadio Mane out of the crowd for a pittance.

 

But be careful - you'll catch a lot of flack for this one. You are right though.

[Shearergol]

Massively overpriced. Feel a bit concerned that anyone in the club wants to blow our entire budget in him tbh.

 

However, bringing no RCB and no RW in this windows is incredibly bad.

 

at least we have 8 keepers now

Came here to say pretty much the same, you can guarantee Guehi was Howes top choice and it’s not looking  likely now.. you’ve gotta wonder how this might go down between management. Him starting tonight doesn’t change a whole lot, but obviously suggests that a deal isn’t imminent. 
 

This thread will be hilarious tonight 

[SAK]

What I find strange is there’s no noise about alternative CBs other than Tapsoba last week which wasn’t realistic. Is Guehi an opportunist attempt to sign a player (contract winding down and rivals not wanting him at the price we were willing to pay) and it’s him or nothing?

No, because spending is spresd over up to 5 years.

It isn’t - it’s three years

 

My apologies for it being a Villa site

It's a standard negotiating time frame for such a large deal, but it's very unusual for it to be so public. That's what has made it feel like a drag.

It has been dragging on. No two ways about it. 

[The Butcher]

Would go for that Lacroix or what ever the fuck. He's decent on FM and that's all that matters.

😅😅 We know fuck all about the details man.

If the deal wasn’t there to be made, we should have moved on a week ago, it’s quite clear palace were stringing us along, if Eales and Mitchel have put all their eggs in this basket then I’m sorry but they are a fucking joke.

We have already spent close to 40, can’t see us having more if we spend another 70 on Guehi.

 

I was thinking about this, and would love to be corrected on it. If the constraint is £105M in cumulative losses over a three-year period, then that's £35M/year. If we can recognize sales right away and amortise player purchases over the duration of their (4-5 year) contracts, then we should be able to spend at least £100M every year in new transfers. Example, buy players worth £100M and give them four-year contracts, you only recognize £25M in losses in the current year and you have room for an extra £10M in other losses.

There was absolutely no reason for them to cup tie a player if he's about to be sold. If we still go ahead with it after they've took the piss multiple times - we are fucking mugs.

 

Until we agree a fee, he's still their player. They won't give a shit if he's cup tied, wouldn't even be surprised if they've done it just to be cunts.

Palace paying us back for letting them take @Alan Pardew

 exactly my thought

Yup.

 

Calafiori, Merino, Ugarte, De Ligt and others have all been the same.

Parish and palaces end in general knew exactly what they were doing, tough negotiator who knows we hate deals going public so used it to his advantage to try and push the deal along and force the price up as much as he could. Clever cunt.

Don’t believe being cup tied for the Carabao is that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but regardless of him starting tonight, this deal has never felt close to happening.

 

We need to move on and fast. CB, RW and likely a RB if Tripps goes.

Precisely… he’s their player. As far as Palace are concerned we might get knocked out of the cup tomorrow and they would have left a star player out for no reason.

 

Still convinced this is happening. It’s just being played out in a ridiculous manner.

[Disco]

Was just speaking to my friend Wideboy Gal from Beckenham and he reckons the word on the South London street is that Guehi is stalling because he doesn’t want to play with a waster like Al-Moron.

Listing players other teams have signed isn’t helping 😉

It’s clever only if we end up paying their inflated asking price. If we walk away Palace gets nothing and Guehi probably leaves for half the price next summer.

[GeordieDazzler]

I think many of us, me included expected this to be wrapped up pretty quickly when it originally broke out of the blue. Since then it’s felt like waiting for Godot. 
 

We’ve had precious little in concrete updates and leaks from the club so perhaps we have already walked away.

 

Im sort of looking forward to this window being closed one way or the other. 

[Dr Jinx]

Ornstein can get fucked as well, several times this summer he’s been used by other clubs to make our bids public, effectively scuppering anything happening under any sort of cloak of privacy.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Pretty sure we're going to end up with either Disasi or Chalobah, tbh. Maybe loan, maybe a cheap permanent.
