He is a 35-40m player. You were lucky that Palace rejected your crazy offer. Howe should stay away from the market. 

I agree with you on the valuation. You can’t however fault EH’s transfer record with us so far. Especially in the position we found ourselves in. Remember. Virtually no one needs our money in the EPL or wants to help us. So there will always be a premium most of the time if a prized asset. Talk of £60-75m was crazy though.

I think we dodged a bullet big time. 37-year-old Jamie Vardy outpaced him to open the scoring.

There were also question marks over his involvement in the Foxes’ second goal when he failed to deal with James Justin’s cross, which resulted in Stephy Mavididi tapping home. Parish is going to struggle to get 35mil never mind 70mil.

Why though? He's worth nowhere near that value

I think he's worth 45-50 personally. I'd be happy to pay a little extra.

 

People are kneejerk imo, one mistake he's suddenly shit.

 

When this thread broke I don't remember many people saying we shouldn't sign him.

General sentiment was that we were overpaying, then it got to a point where most didn’t care and just wanted to sign a marquee player.

I don't think personally he's worth even anywhere near £40 million. He's never impressed me greatly in the games I have seen him play for Palace. He was atrocious in the game up here last season

That’s what I have been saying myself. Even just look at his defending on the weekend for the Leicester goal.
 

He’s got some attributes that we would like in the side and is still young so can develop with us. But he’s nowhere worth the money they talked about in the summer. I’m pretty sure we didn’t get close to £65m too as we know it’s not good value. A fee around the Botman price to me is fair, but having a decent couple games for England means you’re now a ‘superstar’ it seems

He's a starting England centre back who turned 24 a few months ago. I think £50M is a fair price for him personally.


He was only a starter at the euros because Maguire got injured. I think Maguire and Stones are still first choice. Guehi might be first choice back up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Konsa gets picked ahead of him.

You make a valid point - however I personally don't think Maguire gets game time under Carsley/new manager.

Interesting that he looks to be suffering from Anderson going, to me he looks like he would be to compliment Schar rather than a Schar replacement.

 

Good to see Schar scoring goals while Guehi is getting rinsed for pace and strength by a 37 year old.

Often go to bed at night wondering how this forum would function if we didn’t have Jigen keeping us right 

 

I've just noticed he's keeping them right on Villa Talk too.

 

He's on there telling them Man U have far superior players to them and only Martinez would get in the manure team.  

 

Got them biting like fuck [emoji38]
