Otherwise it'd take a brass neck of epic proportions to make this kind of statement Howe is a fantastic coach. But he isn't a sporting director. Everyone must do his own job.

RS Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 11 minutes ago, jigen said: He is a 30m defender. Howe offered 70m: crazy. And Palace refused: double crazy. You were lucky. And this should teach you that Howe must stay away from the recruitment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I'd be far more worried about our recruitment policy if we didn't go for him this summer. If we were prepared to spend £55-60m, you'd surely go for the same player at £35-40m. Also with the added bonus now that if he doesn't turn out to be the player the club believed, you'd get most of your money back at least if we sold.

KaKa Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Pretty sure I saw reports a little while back with Parrish running his mouth about how they wouldn't be selling him for cheap this summer or some nonsense. Not sure I want us trying to negotiate or deal with that prat again all summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Im not concerned about this one at all. I reckon we learnt a lot last summer and we've got nothing to worry about on the recruitment front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully attracting players for UCL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Has a player ever had more impact for a club after not joining than if he had joined? Like what more could we have done with him than win a cup and be currently 3rd? Whilst he’s helped us to 2 goals and 4 points that could get us UCL. Win the cup still, be 3rd or even 2nd and still be in FA Cup? Edited April 17 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 He’d be excellent for us, there was a moment in first half he carried the ball out of defence and set up an attack and you could see he’d be perfect in our team. Hope we go back in for him, great character too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieToon Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Well Done Agent Guehi. His own goal at St James’ Park and in the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park saw 24-year-old become only the second player in Premier League history to concede an own goal both home and away against the same opponent in a single season.

Menace Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rod said: I honestly think he's bang average. A lot of "bang average" players have become colossal for us.. I've learnt to not even question Howe when it comes to players. Rafa always said a hit rate of around 50% on transfers means you're genuinely outperforming the market. Howe is closer to 90%... He's not worth £60-70M by a long shot, but if Howe wants him for cheaper than that and he's available at what we value a good price - he will be here.

Decky Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Id take him for 30m but there's no way Parish will concede that to us. He'll look for more and then sell him to a rival for the 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then by that logic it wasn't Howe doing the negotiating last summer was it? So is Mitchell supposed to not work in conjunction with Howe now, according to the font of knowledge that is yourself?

LFEE Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 3 hours ago, Ben said: Didn't Parish say we offered nowhere near £70 million Howe also said it obviously in his own guarded way in a press conference. Along the lines of figures nowhere near those being reported. Was probably around the £50m mark with £5m add ons. Always dangerous to target a player post a big tournament. No blame attached as that was our target and it played out the way it did with Parish & Sky. Felt we reached our limit very early on in that window. The rest was just posturing from Palace.

Wallsendmag Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 He's got all.the attributes. Still reckon Howe could turn him into a top class centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
