Marc Guehi

[Ronaldo]

Who Guehi? We watched a different game mind, Man U could easily have been 3-0 up at half time.

[rebelrouser]

Antonio Silva-Benfica for less money this winter. Let him play behind Schar to get acclimated. He can step in to cover Botman too like Guehi. 

[La Parka]

He's missing Andersen like.

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

Yeah wasn’t it reported we offered 55m plus add ons?

You’re getting less player as well.

He's only 20. Maybe in 4 years he equals Guehi.  We have more to spend on RW that way too.

Tbf, when you put it that way, you can understand why Howe wants PL proven signings. He more than likely won't be here in 4 years time, he's not going to see the benefit of buying development players.

[Kanj]

He doesn't have time for development players if it means they can't very quickly jump into how he wants to play football and when he's probably got a "must make europe" target on his back every season. 

[rebelrouser]

I'm not convinced Guehi is definitely better than Schar so I think a center back that provides cover for Schar and Botman and even Tino would be fine in the short term.     

[Roids]

Max Kilman went for £40m

Archie Gray went for £30m from the Champioonship

 

Laughable to those suggesting his value is anything under £50m

I love Schar, been great for us but he's 32. Additionally, the back line has one major flaw which is a lack of pace, needs to be addressed eventually (but not priority concern - RW, DM) 

Really like Murrillo from Forest as well, either would be great additions

Chelsea must have a few spare defenders knocking about

Have you watched him mate? Maybe I'm just backing my own, but I'm not even sure he steps in over Dan Burn with how shaky his on ball defending is, and he certainly isn't stepping in over Fabian.

[janpawel]

It's funny as in the past we've often 'bought the dip' and this seems very much a dip in his form, and Palace in general.

 

But we very much showed our hand in the summer, so wonder how negotiations would go if we went back in for him

Neither of those have been value for money yet.

We're 5 games into the season 

[CPL]

For those suggesting Guehi isn't a huge upgrade on our current defence are joking right? He hasn't had the best start to the season but neither have we - performance wise.

But why use those players as a reference point when we don’t know if they’re good signings. Those clubs might have overspent, and in the case of Kilman they probably have IMO.

Not sure why that matters, that's what their value was this summer.

 

Who do you actually get for less than 35m these days?

Milenkovic was only £12m and Forest fans are raving about him. You can find value if you have good scouts and trust them.

He's European with no PL experience.

 

I'm not saying he's worse, but English players are worth more that's just the market whether you think it's silly or not.

Makes no difference, the floor of players prices have been raised.

If you want quality additions to the squad at sub £30m, which can be done, the scouts have to do their work.

If you want an experienced England international, £50m would be the bare minimum

you can't be serious, he'd be an upgrade to Burn who I like but I'm more concerned with the age profile and lack of pace in that area

[Ronson333]

Parish must be regretting turning down £65m every day. Won’t be surprised if the American co-owners turn on him.
