The problem is that the bedwetters are drastically over stating the extent of the problem.

 

We've had a poor window? So what? Are we not allowed a window where things don't go to plan like we wanted? We still have a good side and a good manager.

Not really no. Not unless you're okay with having less chance of getting into Europe, losing your best players, potentially losing your manager, and ultimately fizzing out.

Downie's Tweet reads like we're trying one last throw of the dice to put a bit of pressure on Palace. Not that I think it'll work like.

No, we aren’t to be very frank. Ultimately if the goals the chairman has spoken about are true we want afford bad windows, we can’t afford to go backwards. 
 

Why? Because the players we do have which are of the level which we aspire to be are not going to hang around  and as we’ve witnessed, players of that calibre aren’t cheap and we’ve had our injection of cash the rules do not permit it in happen over and over. We could only spend the way we did because Ashley was a tight ass.

I guess if this isn't done in the next 24 hours, we'll wait it out, similar to Botman?

We've made high bids for Guehi.. The first january window doesn't count towards PSR anymore. Everything points to us having money to spend.

Yeah we've evidently had money to spend. We've just been tunnel visioned in our targets. We needed to have contingency

Aye but you said the way they have gone about it is poor. The problem is that you don't know how they've gone about it. You just know it's been a shit window, which I agree with. 

 

We know to a very high likelihood that it's Guehi or nothing. That just on its own, with no alternative to him and no successful contingency to spend it on an RW is poor, and that's me being kind. Frankly I think it's unprofessional.

Such a miserable git. Says Fulham don't want Miggy either. This window has been so bad.

Stand still in this league and you go backwards.

Fair enough. I disagree with all of that stuff happening.

I mean not really like, for this to happen those involved have to have fucked up, which shouldn't happen given how important their job is.

We've faffed around for far too long when it was obvious we weren't going to get him.

Its been horribly managed our side.

I'm not pointing fingers but since Amanda and Ashworth left things feel to have regressed badly on the recruitment side.

 

I have been saying this for long. The club management is not working or functioning properly since Ashworth started the leave at Jan.

As so eone said earlier, Botman it. Go higher on a RW even though it's late.

I said similar regarding what we did with Botman.  Problem is, Guehi may well have better options next year and clubs offering more money or Europe.  Also, if we have another injury crisis or if even Schar is missing for a while.  Krafth at CB is hardly ideal for a team with designs on Europe.  

 

No idea on when they expect Botman and Lascelles back.  But they'll take a good while to get up to speed, you would have thought?

I'm no pessemist, but the likes of Bruno, Isak and Gordon genuinely aren't going to be okay with just sitting around with us stagnating. They'll want to win things and are good enough to. 

[Troll]

If Guehi wants to come here, surely the way Parish has moved the goalposts has pissed him off too.

[Hanshithispantz]

Like it's one thing missing out on a player, another entirely being strung along the entire window for 1 target and still missing out. We probably just need to give them the £75-80m they want and accept Parish just has the bigger dick.

Should have walked away when it hit 60m, he’s not that good imo and certainly isn’t worth pursuing when the transfer kitty is rumoured to be around 80m. 
 

A massive shambles and frankly an embarrassing episode for the club. Recruitment team have looked like a bunch of amateurs, surely they should have had other numerous targets for these scenarios etc.

286 pages for a Crystal Palace player is quite some going

I struggle to accept that Marc Guehi is the only player in the entire world that would improve us that Howe would accept (and we can afford, given we have £70m to spend).

Mings done his ACL in August and still isnt back, I think its at least April before Botmand and Jamal are back.

do we know he wants to come here? I'm sure he'd rather join Liverpool, which is what will happen if he hangs on until Jan/next summer.
