Marc Guehi

[timeEd32]

I still think it's entirely possible doing this deal was subject to outgoings that haven't happened.

 

I don't know how anyone can categorically say we're pathetic or embarrassing when we only know a fraction of the details. It is definitely disappointing though.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Club has taken a risk that going to the wire would get them what they want, seemingly. Very bizarre ordeal.

 

It'd be absolutely disgraceful to not get at least one of a RW or CB in. There are many players out there who would more than do a job for us.

[Steve Charlton]

Have we been blacklisted by a number of clubs or what,No bids for none of our star men that we know of,Couldnt give Gordon away to Liverpiwl and Palace turning down nearly £70million for this bloke

So reading between the lines, they've raised the price after Riad's injury?

That and we've left it to 36hrs before the window shuts

I don't. Do you think had Almiron gone for 20mill we'd have gone 80mill for Guehi ?

 

2nd paragraph is spot on though.

[Ola1949]

Can't believe how bad this window been. Our owners and Eddie can't be happy.  Top 4 seems miles away now. 

[Scoot]

Some fucker needs to answer some questions as to what the fuck has happened here like. What a complete farce!

Howe really pulling Keegans 'Get me Shearer' on Marc Guehi.

Imagine if someone said this at the end of a Mike Ashley window.

Some very tough, serious questions.

[Geogaddi]

It's such a weird one from Palace , like they could take 60 million from us now but they are doing themselves out of it by asking for a further 10 when really once this window closes the most they are going to get for him is about 30/40 million due to his contract.
 

Looks to me like Parish just hates us and would rather sell to one of his big 6 mates for a lesser fee next year .

I don't think we would have paid more than whatever we think he's worth, no. And it's possible Parish has been impossible to deal with. But outgoings to clear the necessary financial room? Very possible.

Right now we need 2 positives

Mitchell's done nothing of substance since coming in. This was a vital window and its been fumbled badly.

[Memphis]

This is one of the dumbest sagas I can remember. Have we actually been pleading with them all this time? All the info seems to be coming from Palace so who knows what we've actually done? But regardless, just walk away. We've all wasted tremendous amounts of time on this bullshit. 

 

I do hope there is a Plan B or C or Z or whatever we're on at this point that involves actually signing someone.

I can't take any of these Mike Ashley comparisons seriously. We've stretch our spending as far as we possibly can since the new owners walked through the door.

Honestly the media doesn't really come into it that much for me. They could have stayed silent and the reality would still be that we haven't looked anywhere close to signing any other CB or a RW,  or having alternatives lined up, which is frankly incredibily unprofessional.

 

The rest about us constantly persevering with Guehi is just the cherry on the top.

 

 

These two things are inextricably linked though right? 

 

The only knowledge you have is based on what you are told by the press.

 

I'm not saying you are wrong, just that you and I have no idea what's been going on behind the scenes.

 

Whatever has been going on, it certainly hasn't been successful but the success might not be made from lack of effort.

How dare you say that. Got to wait till Saturday morning before we can criticise and moan.

Part of me thinks they don’t feel they could justify losing Ollie, Guehi and Eze in the same window to the fans and the manager as that looked to be the case at one point. 
 

Feel like he’ll sign a new deal after the window closes and it will have a release clause of about 60m in it.

It's pretty clear that we had money to spend, and we had time to find enough alternatives. I could make the same "we don't know what's being done" arguments for Ashley when he was here. It's not a great excuse.

[Mazzy]

All attention from those in charge can go onto another deal now. 

 

Need to move quickly but unfortunately selling clubs now know what our situation is.
