Honestly if that's true, I think the deal will get done even now. It's no more than hearsay, but let's take it at face value: maybe he would quite fancy joining, but he's also clearly not THAT fussed on it as Parish seems confident that he's also quite happy to toodle along at Palace if we don't agree a ridiculously expensive deal.


It’s not hearsay.

No club is going to sell their captain within 7/8 hours of the window closing. We must have given up on this a couple of days ago surely. Anyway £70m for this bloke is insane. I’d rather they have the post transfer window debacle inquest and then get back to a more sensible approach for the next window.

Writing was on the wall when he wrote in his program notes how happy he was to be captain for this season

He’s been telling some players in our squad that he wants to join (and has been expecting it) for weeks now.


Clearly a man of all talk, no action. Frustrating really, as he would have done an excellent job for us.

Not really. I've already said that all we've heard is that "he's open to the move". That could mean anything. He's also publicly said he's looking forward to the season ahead with Palace. He's got 2 years left on his deal and he could quite easily wait a year and move to Liverpool for £40m, maybe he's open to that as well.

 

If he's not worth £65m when he's still got a chunk left on his contract, why would a club like Liverpool want him at £40m unless its purely as backup?

Because they'd be far happier paying £40m than £70m I expect.

Bummer for the player as he and his agent(s) clearly thought this was going to happen and it appears Palace continued to change the deal at every step.

Palace gave him the captain's armband because presumably they knew he was also quite happy to stay put.

The argument I'm seeing though is he's not worth the £65m. If he's good enough for Liverpool whether it's £40m due to having less to run on his contract, then he's definitely worth £65m to us now.

It’s the definition of hearsay in fairness 

 

Was going to say that as well but couldn't be bothered into getting into a debate about semantics.

FWIW I am happy to go along with the club's valuation of Guehi if they think he's worth investing £65m. My concern is that a club like Liverpool might think they can get him for less because (for some reason) they think he might also be quite happy to go there when they can force Palace's hand with his contract running down.

We had reports he was getting ready to travel at one point.

Again - all that means is he would be open to the move. It also seems he is quite happy not to move and sit his contract out and go wherever he likes when the time comes.

 

Nothing wrong with any of that btw, just means we should have had other options ready to go anticipating just such an outcome.

£25m is a fairly big difference like. Especially in PSR terms.

Kicking off at the club and slating Howe, am I actually reading that, seriously, really ?  After all we've been through for over a decade previous to these owners and this manager. Totally get the frustration of this window, but ffs.  

 

The entitlement that the scummy six have, please don't do that here. We're better than that, or are we with some of this shite.
