Checko Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 He has about 100 weeks left on his contract. I vote we just offer £650,000 less every week until it's settled one way or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blow £70m and move on. We'd likely have to consider selling an Isak/Bruno/Gordon in 12 months time to compensate or face a points deduction. If we fail to meet the aspirations of our star players, they will likely depart regardless of whether we invest 70 million in Guehi or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Minteh and paying way over market for Guehi is not how we become a top team. I think our business prior to this window was good, and I don't understand why we seem to be going away from that. We need the next Sven Botman not the next Harry Maguire. I respectfully disagree, Guehi is a top six player, unfortunately minteh is not there yet.

Man some of the comments in this thread and the Minteh thread 🤦♂️😂 “We should be doing this, we should have done that”. How about we let the paid professionals get on with it an assess at the end of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we let the paid professionals get on with it an assess at the end of the window. These professionals, who have led us from 20th to 4th in a season and a half and a cup final, have also brought in players like Isak, Gordon, Bruno, and others. They have significantly improved our financial situation, and the club is now worth over a billion. I don't think the naysayers/minteh fan boys win that argument really. What these guys have done since they have come in, is quite astonishing really. Selling Minteh does not change my view of those running the club. They have established a high level of trust and credibility with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said though, I hope they get relegated and fuck off onto irrelevancy. They won't though, they're like a turd that won't flush. Like Everton. And I don't even care about Guehi that much.

Guest Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I know there's more to a CB than passing, but until I was looking at his stats compared to ours this morning, I didn't realise his numbers were that high. Can see why we'd possibly want to still push for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they can’t leave it too late otherwise they might leaves themselves short but Mitchel and co aren’t mugs they’re aware of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be Howe’s problem to take since he forced the deal to go through. Why should the fans worry for that? Fully expect Almiron to start next game btw.

Does anybody really think the club wanted to trade Anderson or Minteh? They were forced to. It was either them or an Isak, Bruno, Gordon etc. Another hangover from the Ashley years is that we don't have any other saleable alternatives. We have a number of players on salaries which exceed their abilities who understandably want paying up to move on as any perspective new club are unwilling to match what they are on.

Yep and until they’ve all been run down we will always have one hand tied behind our back. When them old contracts have gone and the acedemy players come through (and buy in the mean time) then we’ll have undone the state Ashley left us in and not before.

I’m not going to say he’s shit or anything as I don’t watch a lot of palace but reading through their forum a fair few of them did say he’s prone to errors and gets done quite a bit.

That maybe the case but on the evidence of the euros he looks pretty fucking good to me. I’m sure there’s areas he can improve in, he’s only 23/24 too and Howe and Tindall seem to have a knack in this set up of pushing players on. What will be will be, I just hope we get some CB cover/depth in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
