I'd like us to do a very public £25 million offer just out of spite as I don't see Palace selling in January for sensible money. I do think he would be a good addition for anywhere under £35 million. I also love the idea of potentially 3/4 of England's backline playing for anyone club but especially ours. That must be so helpful in terms of building a cohesive team. 

 

On a related note I don't know who made the Parish - Dobby connection but I just can't unsee this. Imagine if he was your partner and someone showed you that, it would be ruinous to your sex life unless you had some very specific kinks.

 

 

I'm most intrigued - who or what is Dobby and what is the connection with Steve Parish. Anyone?

Thank you.

Guehi won’t be going anywhere in January. He’ll be off in the summer to a big six side I’d expect on a much cheaper deal.

 

Said this in the summer. I just hope the club are aware this might happen and will have moved onto more realistic alternatives.

[ponsaelius]

I think they'd sell in January at the right price. If Riad is back and playing, they will have a decent pool of CBs, but a desire to improve in attacking areas. It will make sense to cash in and re-invest IMO if it's clear he won't sign a new deal.

[Doctor Zaius]

Think they've got far too much talent but I'd love it if Palace went down. More so than Everton

Article says he was really keen over the summer.

 

As much as I'd love to leave Palace in the mud over this whole thing, I can see us going back in due to Howe rating him highly, and due to his enthusiasm to join.

 

Guess we'll see what happens. Be pretty annoying if we go over £45 million at the absolute max.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Seemed like he was literally just waiting for the go-ahead to make the journey. 

[RodneyCisse]

We’ve all seen how good he’s been for England and that he’s possibly had his head turned as far as Palace performances.

 

We’ve all seen the meme where he looks like he’s missing out on all the fun.

Despite all the talk of a £60 million bid, we apparently didn’t go that high at all. I’d be surprised to see us go over 40 tbh. Similar to the Gordon deal.

Hard to judge based on the last few months of England games mind. Ireland, Greece and Finland aren’t really tests.

[Erikse]

We should atleast act fast with the bids, the longer it goes through the window, the less likely they are to crack. They probably need the deal to be done early ish, so they can reinvest and replace him.

That would be a great deal. Would be happy with that 

[Kimbo]

I expect Parish would do the same thing again, string us along for the whole window until a club he wants to sell to comes along.

[nufcjmc]

Don't want him based on the likely fee and none england performances this season but can see why he would be mad keen.

 

 

[SUPERTOON]

Apparently Parish and Freedman have backed Glasner and blamed themselves for the poor summer window as to why Palace are struggling. They are expected to back him heavily in January to rectify it. I do think they need and will take a decent offer this time around, and probably early in the window.

We can't rely on him going on a strike though, like the Gordon deal. The Gordon deal wasn't really happening until he started forcing it (we were like £20m off their valuation and time was running out). This is a different situation though, really hard to tell what Palace will do about any bid after what they did in the summer. Could go both ways really.

Aye, I’m just banking on us not repeating the mistakes of the summer window and either getting it done or moving on early.

[Checko]

I read Palace are struggling for goals & don't have much budget for reinforcements.

 

If Guehi doesn't want to sign a new deal then this is probably the last chance to get a real top fee for him.

 

If they do decide to sell they might want to get it done sooner to ensure they can make signings.

 

They won't want to give much of discount because Parish would look silly, which means I bet we're still looking at a chonky fee. Probably more that he's worth.

 

On the other hand I don't really know how good he is so perhaps he is worth a chonky fee.

 

Cue: there will be better value on the continent etc.

 

BREXIT!

Yeah, that's true. There is talent there, but he's by no means the perfected finished article.

 

I think also taking into account his character, enthusiasm to join and Howe rating him highly, it's a deal worth doing.

 

Would go a long way to cementing some trust and working rapport between Mitchell and Howe and we need that more than anything right now.

 

There were some promising noises about how their relationship is developing in the Athletic yesterday, and if that comes together I think we are going to be unstoppable.

Agreed. As mentioned above I also think it has to happen early from Palaces perspective, if they even want to sell. Unless they start replacing him before the sale, but that doesn't seem ideal in terms of negotiations.

First thing we should do IF going back in for Guehi is tell that gobshite spiv fuckwit Parish to shut his cakehole

Yeah, if we really want him, we might have to pay a little bit extra still. He will go to a different club later if not, so we also gotta think about what he's actually worth for us. If it's either paying lets say £50-60m or not getting him at all, it doesn't really matter for us that Palace is getting a good deal for their situation. As long as it's still a good deal for us aswell. Ofcourse, we're still going to negotiate based on their situation with him regardless, and not give in too easily.

Parish did say we’d handled the negotiations with professionalism and there was a respect there. Deal will get done if they are motivated to sell this time
