Marc Guehi

[Ikon]

If we don’t get Guehi then the very “small pool of players” gets very very very small considering that not too many clubs will be wanting to get rid of important players this late, with not much time at all for a replacement. Hope it gets done.

You and others try and say eddie doesn't target English based players for high fees. Yet Guehi olise dcl Trafford and that's just this window. 

 

You've mentioned 4 players we haven't signed and neither Trafford or Olise are reportedly high fees. In fact, given that Eddie Nketiah is going for 30m, I'd argue that DCL at 20+ wouldn't be high.

 

Again, what's missing here is the assumption you have all the information. We've been linked with a host of players from overseas. Eddie even admitted his admiration for Thiaw.

I still think it might be best to reserve judgement until the window actually closes …

And then until January, and then until the end of the season, and then until we sell Isak, Bruno and Gordon. Only then will be know if we were wrong to not strengthen in this window, right?

Olise was £51m wasn’t he?

No doubt all 3 will go if we fail to qualify for Europe next season.

The lad can really ping a long pass

Exactly. An absolute bargain at that price.

Probably half what he’s worth. Was never coming here though, regardless.

Either brinkmanship by Parish or we’ve already walked away.

Slowest walk away since James Brown tried to leave the stage on the Tami show!

There’s an element of that - depends on who comes in and goes out and how the season pans out

 

I don’t think our better players staying or going will be determined by what happens in the next three days tbh.  In the PSR world, there’s every chance they would go at some point regardless - I’ve never understood why people treat this like the sword of Damocles.  Most clubs sell players at some point.  If we sell then I’m pretty confident the money would be recycled back in and used to strengthen.

Which is probably a more fair criticism of the window.

 

Targeting players whom we might be overreaching on is an issue. However it did get us Tonali and Isak in the past.

I think it’s almost a guarantee that one of those three goes for a big fee next summer. Not certain how we’d replace Isak tbh.

FAO @Mike et al - can everybody be assigned a flair, either "Bed-wetter" or "Happy-clapper" so we know where each person stands?

 

These are the only two options, THERE IS NOTHING IN BETWEEN

I’m currently both.

Bit shan on the watersports fans who’d class themselves as Happy Wetters.

Yeah, that's because he is now playing the playmaking central role in the back 3 that Anderson had previously.

 

I did try to explain this when someone kept claiming he wasn't a progressive passer.

There can be three, "Bed-wetter about bed-wetting".

There are some proper miserable arseholes on here. They could bring down the mood at a child’s funeral. 
 

Every transfer window there’ll be someone trying to talk people onto the window ledge with them because we haven’t strengthened in X, Y or Z position. Sorry like but it is frankly unhinged behaviour lose your mind over us not doing deals for Dele Alli or Jesse Lingard or Sander Berge.
 

I can’t say whether it’s a phenomenon that’s unique to our club or not. My suspicion is - like everything - the internet is to blame. Either way we could do with some people logging off and going outside once in a while.

Every team has fans who do it, every team has bedwetters and happy clappers. It’s particularly infuriating when it’s your own fans of course. I mean, we’ve spent a ton of money this window and offloaded an incredible amount of dead wood, yet there are still people pissing and moaning. I will say, whoever it was who called Palace a nothing club was a bit off .

I like to think I’m a wet clapper which is fitting as I’ve known a few wet slappers in my day.
