Marc Guehi

[Smal]

Palace have proper rinsed us, like  

 

Shite window. Look like we don't have a clue what we're doing. 

[Collage]

75m is a piss take. Just forget him and move on.

[Anderson]

Does Eze have a release clause? Can we just activate that out of spite instead?  

[christ]

You’d think experienced operators at this level would be savvy enough to have other irons in the fire in case this exact scenario occurred.

 

You’d think.

[HayDen Traces]

I dont blame Palace at all. We had 4 weeks to match their asking price and couldn't do it.

We should have an alternative wrapped up already.

If we just decided to go after Guehi with no backup, I wouldn’t fancy explaining that to Yasir at the next board meeting.

 

It’s not difficult - you have a set budget aside - get a list of targets - very likely you get one of them 

 

Think we’ll end up with no one now

It has lapsed, was earlier in the window 

[Lush Vlad]

I mean, it really wouldn't surprise me the way this has all played out.  But when has that Graeme Bailey ever been right about anything?  In fact, during this whole drawn out, boring as fuck saga.  When has a journo been right on anything?!

Would look outside if he told me the sky was blue

[PauloGeordio]

IF  this doesn’t happen, does it suit and fit the “we tried” keeping our powder dry narrative? Something very off with this like.

[ponsaelius]

FFP both in terms of incomings and outgoings has seemingly put us into a freeze state, where we're utterly terrified to now buy any player for decent money that isn't deemed by the club an absolute guaranteed success. This has reduced our targets to a tiny pool (as admitted, stupidly imo, by Howe) of players. It's put us in a terrible negotiating position.

 

You would expect us to have a much broader option for potential signings across varying pricepoint - particularly when we're actually looking at multiple positions.

[RodneyCisse]

Go bid for that defender they want, then pull out last min.

[BennyBlanco]

Time to move on was last week. Today takes the biscuit though. Fuck them off and get some fresh legs into that squad who will push the starters ffs.

That’s out the Ashley playbook.  

[timeEd32]

Prices rise and all that, but £75m would make him a top 25 transfer of all time. He'd be level with VVD for the third highest fee ever for a defender, behind Maguire and Gvardiol.

I don’t know who’s more stupid, Palace for their ridiculous demands or us for being strung along by that goblin Parish.

[gdm]

£75m hope he has a horrendous season 

[Andy84]

I’m sure steinburg is unreliable also tbf 

[HayDen Traces]

The squad looks flat. The lack of signings looks to have effected our mental state so far this season

[KingArthur]

Bailey reported months ago that we are very close to signing Thiaw. 

 

doesn't look good, but he isn't trustworthy.

edit. Ok now Edwards is saying the same. On to the next target then.

Any update on us trying to sign Ryan Giggs ? 

[GeordieDazzler]

Again nothing of actual substance in either of those articles. Just hedging bets.
