Because the player wants to join (100%), and when negotiations go this deep they very rarely fall apart. Edited August 27 by Shadow Puppets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back line has looked shaky for some time and that nervousness impacts all of our play - completely agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
