A lot of people think we’re ‘overpaying’ - Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea have all paid this sort of money for a centre back at least once (sometimes significantly more).  £65m is not overpaying for a first choice England international centre back.  
 


They didn’t have FFP to contend with though. I’m not convinced by this one at all. Maybe I don’t watch enough football but before the Euros I hadn’t even heard of him. And in the Euros he didn’t stand out as anything special for me whatsoever. It does like he is now going to be coming here though so I will be delighted to be proven wrong.

Some random Palace fan joined last night and said he’s world class I think 😂

 

I don't know about terms like world class, it's always a bit of a nonsense. But I think if Man City were signing him for £65m we wouldn't be surprised and we would probably say it's a good signing.

Out of interest, when was the last time he played on the right side? With Kelly, Botman & Burn we're pretty well stocked with left sided central defenders which is a bit of an anomaly.

You’d be spending 50-60m on the same version of Botman we bought. Just look at the price of Yoro. 

Bad example my friend. YORO was only that price because Man United inflated the fee to stop Madrid.

I don't know, it will be ages because of Anderson. But he's right footed so I don't see any reason he couldn't. It's probably more because Anderson's long passing would be less effective from the other side.

Contrary to popular belief, every good footballer isn't only at the 'top 6' clubs.

 

Seemingly these are the only matches most people watch. And then they complain when these clubs throw their weight around like they are more important than everyone else!

 

This is a huge annoyance of mine. Football fans are just as culpable for these clubs and their fans being so insufferable.

Like I say, maybe I don’t watch enough football. And Palace are definitely a club I avoid watching as they are an absolute nothing club on every level. And their home atmosphere is easily the most irritating in the league, which makes the TV experience insufferable, so if they are on the TV I definitely switch the channel. So yeah, it’s not that surprising that I don’t know much about Guehi. :lol: But I still have no recollection of his name being mentioned by anyone I know, before the Euros. I can’t help but get Stephane Guivarch vibes over this one, I’m afraid.

Fair enough, appreciate the honesty :lol:

 

I actually really want us to sign him now, due to some of the nonsense I've been hearing about this deal.

 

I've just been sat here watching some twat exclaim that surely Chelsea, Liverpool or Spurs step in and make a move, as he is that level of player.

 

Bloody top 6 Sycophants man. Just so pathetic.

Palace's private admission but they thought they'd let Keith know :lol:

 

Mind not once have Palace said that he's not leaving. In fact, it's been pretty obvious from the start that they are willing sellers.... at a price... and boy is there a price.
