Would be quite amusing if we took him off Palace.  Talk of the Dippers getting him tho.

this is exactly the sort of alternative deal for a centre half I was talking about. I confess I know little about him but he just won the Bundesliga, so clearly no mug, and he’s £20-30m cheaper then Guehi, leaving us more cash to get a RW

You're not allowed to talk about this as its just a rumour.

You'd assume he'd be on lower wages too.

I wonder if there'll come a day when we aren't celebrating the idea of missing out on our number one summer transfer window target.

 

Get in that bargain bin Eddie! Have a good rummage about!

I’m sorry, I missed the memo that said we weren’t allowed to question the wisdom in spunking £70m on a player who was worth half that price before the euros.

 

it looks like the recruitment team agree he isn’t worth what palace value him at. I don’t think that’s a bad thing - we’re not Man U and I don’t think we want to develop a reputation for spending over the odds as long as these psr rules are in place. If we could freely spend the money the owners have without fear of a point deduction I wouldn’t be getting involved in this debate, I’d say spend the cash to get the players we want

Had Guehi moved for £70m to Liverpool or Man City, that's one thing. But nobody else seems interested at that price, so why should we pay it? Especially as it's not like the kid is the new Maldini or owt. He's top half of the PL standard, but he's not better than Botman who is much more highly rated and who we got for 1/2 the price.

He obviously isn’t a £70m player. Even taking today’s inflated prices and the English tax into consideration

He does have two working legs though. Just saying....

[Dr Gloom 23574]

I think the fact we’ve had four bids ruled out tells us it’s time to walk away. We’re being taken for mugs with this deal - something that hasn’t happened since the takeover so far. I don’t feel like we laid over the odds for anyone so far, except maybe Chris Wood but we were desperate for a forward then and it was a case of needs-must and tbf to wood he did a job to help keep us up, while looking like a bit of a donkey at times 

[Gemmill 49730]

Lads, I was hoping for Rice Krispies. I hope we can all enjoy your Rice Crackles. And the Choco Pops* we've been able to buy with the change. 

 

 

 

 

* not racist. 

[Holden McGroin 7542]

I wouldn't be buying Rice Krispies for £15 a box.

[Gemmill 49730]

You're advocating paying £7.50 a box for fucking Rice Crackles. Unbelievable. 

[Holden McGroin 7542]

I preferred the Crunchy Nut Tosin Flakes for free.

[Gemmill 49730]

We'll get Guehi on the last day of the window. And you lads will just have to cry more.

He'd have to be Van Dijk at Southampton quality for us to be talking about £70m being anything but an overspend.  I was fine, even positive, on the move at the rumoured £60m fee. But I'll freely admit that was as much out of desperation for a signing, as it was an evaluation of his quality. 

 

Calafiori, Yoro, De Ligt, Adarabioyo, Max Kilman all moved for less than Guehi's reported valuation, this window.

[Holden McGroin 7542]

You'll be the first one whingeing when Almiron cuts in on his left foot and balloons it over the bar rather than rolling it across the 6 yard box with this right peg for a tap in.

I won't cos I'm not daft enough to think it's either Guehi or a RW. 

[Holden McGroin 7542]

I blame KD for this.

Hummels is out of contact. He’d be worth a punt on a short term deal. He still looked the part against us last season and for Germany in the euros - or perhaps @Isegrim can

tell me if that’s a bad shout

I won’t cry if we also secure a RW that can go straight into the first team too

I can't wait for the Minteh dribblers to start tbh. He got an assist and a brain injury at the weekend and you'd think he'd buried the hat trick that relegated us and his cock in the collective mas of everyone crying about his assist on socials.

I mean the lads meant to be a fantastic prospect. Nothing but a colossus fuck up by someone, that we’ve ended up having to sell him.

I can't keep up.
 

Ornstein reporting NUFC are interested in their other CB, which suggests it's not us interested in this one. And if this one goes to Palace to replace Anderson, and Leverkusen keep the one we want, then Palace have royally fucked us this window
