TRon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It did reinforce the point that if Guehi had pushed for the move the deal would have been done. He really wasn't that fussed, probably happy to come if the deal was agreed, equally happy to sit on his contract running down, knowing he'll get a bigger payoff the closer it gets to expiring.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Doesn't mean he didn't want to come though, just was basically in a win-win situation where if he didn't get a move now he'll get a slightly better one (for him personally) later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was our only chance of getting him - he'll have bigger clubs after him in the next two windows - for me, nailed on as VVD replacement at Liverpool with him a free agent in the summer.

It will always be a reminder of this less than ideal transfer window. Hopefully we're lining up alternatives for January or next Summer. If Guehi wants a Sky Six move, let him be.

KaKa Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 From that Mail article: Indeed, the sporting director of one side interested in Guehi has indicated that only a fee of £30million or below would tempt them. Just to give an idea of how much his price is plummeting, with him now approaching that final year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means he wasn't that set on it either. It was said a few times in the last couple of weeks in the transfer window that he needed to push a bit more, but he never did. That's not a criticism, you can perfectly understand why he was open to everything but committed to nothing. For me though, I always thought that meant he would end up at Liverpool or another cartel club once the price starts dropping. Look elsewhere.

gbandit Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Whether he comes here or not, his value will never come close to what they could have got this window ever again. Guehi will likely have a good choice of clubs provided he doesn’t get injured but Palace are the main losers here. We’re losers for chasing him so long. Guehi, not really a loser or a winner really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Gordon’s price will plummet if we don’t get him to sign a new contract We have left ourselves in a ridiculously poor position in terms of contracts this year and next we could be left with only Lloyd Kelly and Botman as centre backs Dan Burn Krafth Lascelles Schar all have 10 months left Same with 3 of our keepers ! Could be left with Pope (who only has 22 month left) and Greek keeper ! Huge decisions in the next few months in terms of contracts Edited September 6 by JonBez comesock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 For me, one insinuation in that article which might just be how I read it first time, wasn't about Guehi's own desire to come here or not, it was about our negotiating tactics. Essentially somehow showing Palace our cards and allowing them to then demand what they wanted. Having heard that Howe had put all their eggs in Guehi's basket, Parish used the information as a leverage to stick to his high price. Of course, you can read that several different ways and I doubt it was like that. Perhaps he just guessed right if it was the case it was Guehi or nothing, perhaps he had information from somewhere other than the negotiating team, or perhaps it was nothing of the sort like it was reported. In general, I am leaning towards the whole article being a lot of nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was worth £70m someone would have paid that for him. If anything this window cemented the fact that he isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
