Quite a few Palace fans keen to cash in at our latest offer. It's an enormous offer for a CB.

Yeah but talksport told Parish to take us to the cleaners

Lascelles is out longer than Botman

Unless you fancy lewis playing there..

Shit completely forgot lascelles is out that long. Fuckery. I am more urgent about CB now but not 60m on Guehi urgent. Especially not if we have to wait until the end of the window and risk him not coming or being sniped by another club and we’ve spent all this time waiting on it with little time to go in for another. I guess I will just have to trust that we have a backup plan Incase that happens

They would be losing their 3 best players in one summer, for a club who werent relegated or have money problems I cant think when that has happened before?


Southampton? Maybe not in one window, though…. Surprised Wharton hasn’t been approached either. Wonder if Liverpool will have a poke around. Man City linked too.

Not sure if I'd take him at this price point, but if we had a player pushing for a transfer then I'm sure many here would be talking about how good the money is and that we can easily do without. It's just a way of trying to cope or staying positive, even if a "bad" thing happens. I see it a lot in here, where every outcome is allways made to be a positive one in every situation. So I wouldn't really put too much weight into what Palace fans are saying. I recall Everton fans laughing about £45m for Gordon. Again, they were trying to cope and to turn it into a positive.

Yeah, disappointed we’re unlikely to get it done based off their owners antics.

Don’t understand how anyone can criticize Palace for trying to maximize the fee. It’s part of the game. If we wanted this done quietly we would have to fork up £70m. We are pushing Palace, they are pushing back.

Everton fans hated Gordon at the end.  Daily Mail

 

Ofcourse, in part because he was pushing for a transfer, amongst other things. Not exactly the same, but rumours has it that Guehi is doing that aswell, or atleast wants the deal to happen. Ofcourse they are going to go on about how they are better off without him. That would be the narrative here aswell if we thought that one of ours were pushing for a transfer to some club that we didn't particularly like.

I’m not that annoyed with palace. He’s English. He’s 24. Had a great showing at the euros. 60-70m seems like the price for that. I’m just going to be annoyed if we’ve put our entire transfer strategy and all this time into Guehi and we don’t end up getting him with little time to move on to our backup targets. 
 

I do think there’s definitely better value on the continent for 60+m CB. It’s just the English tax, PL experience, age, one of englands better players at the euros. We are not only paying the tax but we are buying him at peak value. Would have been half this price last year and will probably be half this price next year. More reason for us to move on and maybe circle back if we are that keen. All that being said I wouldn’t cry if we wrap it up this week and it’s something like 55-60m plus add ons. Ideally I’d take a less hyped CB for half that and get in a RW. I love Miggy forever and Murphy is a real late bloomer but I can’t help feeling like that one position desperately needs to be sharpened with a match winning quality player.

Yeah, as far as I’m told we’re still negotiating for him. Certainly haven’t walked away and everyone still seems incredibly confident 🤷‍♂️

Was the last bid rejected, if you've heard?

Parish’s words were designed to get a bigger bid, otherwise he’d have said ‘we aren’t selling’. However I think the 3rd bid was the max, so Palace are going to have to move, or it’s dead. 

 

Q is whether to move on to someone else or see if Palace move. Maybe right now they reckon Palace will come back, and that interview was just to try and ring out a few more quid
