Kid Dynamite 6816 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Chronicle reporting Guehi is interested in the move but the fee will be £65mil+ Hall, Botman, Guehi, Tino would be the stuff of dreams Edited August 29 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1174 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Yeah. I'd take Guehi for another season of the Murph and Miggy show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyjunior 40 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I think RW is our weakest position so we should prioritise that. We've got 5 CBs if you include Burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21280 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 He’s a great defender but doesn’t feel like the sort of signing we would typically make. He’ll probably never cost as much as this after impressing in the euros. My other issue is he’s not a like for like Schar replacement. Yes, he can play RCB, but he doesn’t have that ability to step into midfield, or Schar’s range of passing. Not many central defenders do tbh but I’ve got a feeling this might be agent talk and we’re more likely to sign a cheaper CB, maybe from abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fits the mould of the young, English players we've signed recently (Tino, Hall, Barnes, Gordon) and has only just turned 24. Honestly, if you had given me a blank cheque to sign a new CB when the window opened, he would have been near the top of the list.

Gemmill 42580 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I don't think we have to make a direct replacement for Schar anyway. You just have to sign a very good centre half, and Guehi is one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13586 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I think we’ll still get a right winger tbh. Unless the plan is to go with Barnes on the left and Gordon on the right. Mustn’t be forgotten that Murphy averages an assist every other game or so either 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeAdmirer 1205 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 65 mill???? Would love guehi but lets get a proper BALLER for that money. Schar Botman Lascelles Burn Kelly Kraft Alex Murphy Once a week games, that'll do for CB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 8680 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Our issues last season were not in creating chances, it was the other end of the pitch, improving the defence is #1 priority for me. We’ve got our development/back up striker (if deal’s done) we need a CB. RW upgrade is third on my list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if you had given me a blank cheque to sign a new CB when the window opened, he would have been near the top of the list. he’s unquestionably a top centre half and I wouldn’t be turning my nose up at all if he signed. It’d be a statement signing after the euros he just had but if I was running the show, and given the psr constraints, I would rather invest more in a top RW and maybe go for a cheaper option at RCB, preferably one who is very comfortable playing out from then back. I’m not sure Guehi is that good on the ball tbh Edited August 3 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4069 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 It’s all well and good saying rather spend the money on a right winger. Who though? We tried for Olise, which would have been class. He obviously chose Bayern. There isn’t anyone I see worth spending £60 million quid on imo, so do you hold your piss and wait until the right player becomes available maybe next year or spunk your money on someone you aren’t 100% on just to plug a gap? I think our transfer record shows we sign the right players, when they are available rather than players we are not sure on to plug holes. Which is probably why we got 2 left wingers at similar times. I still think we probably will buy a right winger this summer but haven’t a clue who it will be. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4069 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Also Guehi would be a class signing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly that RW off Fiorentina that we've been linked to, Gonzales, could go for as little as 25-30m. If rumours are to be believed he's having a meeting with the Fiorentina owners on Monday and will ask to leave the club. Fuck knows how true the aforementioned is, but getting a quality RW for that money would be great business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the question the thread is asking tbf. Obviously it depends on who is available/prepared to sign for us and that will shape the decision. I think Guehi is a quality signing and a big statement of intent, particularly after the euros. But we already have a good mix of centre halves, though two of them are crocked and schar isn’t getting any younger, so it does make sense if we can afford him and he fancied the move. Right Wing however looks the weakest area of the squad to me and the one in most need of a quality upgrade. Murphy is probably first choice RW, were the season to start tomorrow.

Holden McGroin 6227 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Depends on who we sign at RW. We could do with some pace at the back but I’d rather have Mbeumo than Guehi. i think Guehi has been shit when I’ve seen him, bar the Euros when he was excellent. But then I saw Gary Breen look like Baresi at a World Cup once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42580 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 We're not even interested in Mbeumo though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 8606 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 not surprising that the no's have surged in to a commanding lead here. this poll has really sorted out the wheat from the chaff as regards to who has the higher football knowledge amongst the boards users. it's no coincidence that the world's worst football predictor also chose the wrong option here.

Yeah I get that it’s the weakest spot atm. But do you, with limited resources, spend a large chunk on someone you might be replacing next summer if a better player comes along? Realistically having to spend twice. Or spend it on a centre back, who it appears is available now, and solves a position for 6-8 years, even though you can probably do without a centre until next year? Not my money, so I’m not really arsed and I think we will get both. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
