I’d rather have Lacroix and Kulu/Elanga for example than Guehi tbh. Would even leave us some change for January. 

 

We seem to scout based on personality as much as footballing ability though. It may be that there are other targets out there with similar potential ability to Guehi, like Lacroix for example, but the club's interest is driven by more than that. 

 

Guehi is a leader and clearly a good egg too based on the way he has handled this transfer, also very popular amongst other players by all accounts.

Maybe the deal is agreed in principle but Palace want their replacements lined up first before it's rubber stamped.

 

Will leave us knackered but would leave palace worse again if they agreed the same and then their deals fall through.

 

I've said this for weeks - we'll look like the biggest mugs ever if after four weeks of negotiating we don't sign him!

Absolutely and I understand that. Though he'd have to be Mother Theresa reincarnated and feed the children of England to make up the difference in transfer fees through personality and karma though.
If I'm not mistaken there's been loads of noise regarding Lacroix and us since the takeover so he's surely someone at least Nickson has had on his list for quite some time.

Arguably though Andy, the team lacks edge, not good eggs.

 

Howe will never see it, but maybe we need a gallic shrug of a man, a disruptor, a bad boy.

The no dicks policy makes good sense -- just seems like it really keeps the candidate pool fairly low (not necessarily by virtue of the number of dicks, but because the best way to judge is through personal knowledge or reliance on somebody with personal knowledge).

I don't totally disagree, but we probably need that character up front rather than in defence.

Our centre midfielder just clotheslined someone last game & the week before that we had a player sent of for a headbutt (soft).

👆🏻 thank god. 
 

Don’t understand how people aren’t getting this when asking why we haven’t signed a,b and c. Howe has mentioned it from day 1. The success so far has been built on team spirit, they aren’t deviating from that.

We have it! Nobody can tell me Isak isn't a fucking nutcase of a man.

Yeah, that head butt didn't impress me either. Schar is too much of a good egg.

Someone explain to me the downside of going after Guehi again in January or the summer when his valuation deflates 15m

Because about 4 other/better clubs would be in for him at that price

Haven't we just been described as animals ?

There will be more interest in him. We currently have a free run at him.

That's a fair point. From my perspective, I guess I don't really understand our logic then on holding out over 5m. We're already in dreamland deal value territory at 65m for the lad, and by all indications, he is the be all end all top target for Eddie, so why make a big fuss over something slightly over that valuation?

 

Confusing.
