You ever asked why they're so adamant?

Expand  

Because the player wants to join (100%), and when negotiations go this deep they very rarely fall apart.

Cos they are going to offer 80 mil

Has to be said, if we end up offering more than the asking price I might join in some of the chorus re Mitchell  

[Tiresias]

I can't believe we didn't walk away ages ago tbh even if we get him every other negotiation we do the other side will be in no rush and always assume can ring another £10m out of us

Even offering the asking price now would be a bad look.

It's made Eales and Mitchell look like a right bag of spoons so far. I'm not bothered by Guehi, I'd have walked as soon as Palace started pissing about and asking for anything over £50m, while Parish talked his bollocks publicly. If we don't already have alternatives lined up to go for prior to deadline day then we've been no better than we used to under Ashley as far as transfers are concerned for this window... bit embarrassing really for the Saudis and their project imo.

They probably don’t want this kind of signing in the first place.

I lived in Muswell Hill for years, always liked Famous Royal Oak on st James lane. Watched toon beat the Arse 3-1 at Highbury in the old O’neills

Road oak was a great pub and lovely father and daughter owners, many a full summers day there and I was probably watching that match in there as well lol.

 

 You used to occasionally get the five live sports blonde Geordie lass in there watching the matches as well, she was actually dead sound.

If the lad is that desperate to join he could hand a transfer request …

I pull out despite going very deep.

How close to the deal is your source ?

I can see how long term it could hurt us - every club will call our bluff.  But we’ll see.

At this point any fee of more than £65m is going to feel like he's had his pants pulled down. Feels like we've put all our eggs in one basket and doesn't seem any other option but to bend down and lube up at this stage.

If you’ve ever heard him speak, he’s too much of a pro to do that.

Imagine spending weeks/months negotiating a deal only to pay the asking price days before the deadline.

Perhaps.  I’m also aware that it would cost him money to do that, too.

The price has already gone way beyond what I think he's worth

 

Even if the deal ends up happening I'm not sure he'll ever reach a level to make it a really successful signing

 

Ultimately at this stage for it to just be an acceptable window we need a CB, for it to be a good window we need both a CB and RW

Do all contracts have loyalty bonuses in them?

[TRon]

Given how disjointed our football has looked since the halcyon days of CL qualification, I can understand the need to shore up the defence. We might be able to work out our problems getting the ball from back to front, but at least if we aren't conceding that still gives us a good shot of winning games despite not performing particularly well.

I’d always read that they were pretty much standard clauses.  If not, apologies to Guehi

He is missing out by not moving. If he’s on a 65m fee his wage is going to be big. By staying at CP he probably misses out on millions and millions.

The back line has looked shaky for some time and that nervousness impacts all of our play - completely agree
