Who hopes Palace get relegated and Guehi leaves on a free?

Just putting it out there, Parish is the sort of smarmy cunt that would be thinking if he fucks us over, that would help Palace potentially finish above us this season.

It's not like they need to sell Guehi, as others have said they have already made a decent profit this window, so keep things hanging until the eleventh hour and then turn around and decide he's not for sale, weaken a rival and make our lot look like a bunch of morons.

To be fair to him, he can play it how he wants. We should have walked weeks ago.

If Howe is to be believed we don’t have the money to get a CB and RW this window. 

 

He also said he wants to sign players that will improve the first team. This I agree with but given the financial constraints, RW is surely in greater need of upgrading. 

 

I would be happy if we signed a good prospect at CB to challenge Schar and potentially succeed him in a season or two - a bit like the Trafford deal with him seek as someone who can eventually replace Pope.
 

We don’t need to spunk £70m on a CB to walk into the side now. We have Schar, Botman, Burn, Kelly, Lascelles, Krafth and A Murphy.

 

J Murphy and a Miggy contributed three goals each from that RW last season. That’s not enough output if we want to challenge for top 4. All the top wingers in the modern game score closer to 10 goals a season than 5. That’s where the silly money should be invested.  

 

We have;

 

Burn
Kelly
Krafth
Schar (In two more games)

At the moment.

Botman returning in 3 to 4 months.  What's he going to be like when he gets back from a serious injury?

Lascelles is back when?  If at all?

[Gemmill 49969]

I can't wait for this window to close so I don't have to read any more shit about who we should sign and how much we should have paid for them.

that’s four players to cover two positions - five if you count A Murphy. Schar will be back after the Spurs game.

 

we have Murphy and a Miggy for RW - neither of whom are really good enough. And Gordon, though Howe doesn’t seem to fancy playing him there

Do you not agree that the opening two games have underscored how badly we need a new RW? 
 

The other glaring weakness is Longstaff’s decision making. Tonali and a fit Willock  can’t get back in the starting 11 soon enough. I’ve had it with Longstaff’s brain farts when he has to decide to play a forwards pass

[Dr Gloom 23642]

And if you don’t like people speculating on the value of potential transfers, maybe stay out of the thread.
 

£70m is a fucking pisstake for Guehi and I’ll be annoyed if we end up paying it and missing out on a RW - it’s the sort of fee Man U end up paying for players who you would struggle to call elite.

Schar got sent off and we had to play Krafth at CB. We need a CB. 

 

We need a RW too.

You were talking about pointing the £70m at fucking Mbeumo man. Brentford bought him for £6m. 

 

Re Guehi, it's not just about what you pay for him today, it's about his useful life to the club. As I've said over and fucking over. 

 

These transfer windows are boring. We were meant to be the fucking cash splashers and instead we've been fucked by the PL rule changes and PSR. To the extent that the fans have been turned into penny pinchers who know better than the DoF and manager. It's boring. Sorry if you don't agree.

He never said that at all.

 

He was asked could we get a CB and a RW, he said "probably not, no" that's not a definitive" absolutely not", it's certainly not a "we haven't got the money" either, it's more of an "unlikely. but not impossible".

 

Could be any number of factors, including the players we'd want not being available.

we do aye. which is why the whole thing with guehi appears so frustrating.

we look like some daft obsessive cunt on ebay who ends up paying twice as much for an 04 ford fiesta than it's worth because they refuse to be beaten in a bidding war.

Im pretty sure he followed that remark up with financial reasoning blaming PSR and having to avoid being in the same situation.

He talked about short termism (not doing something now that you'll regret later) and player acquisitions not fucking up future ability to improve/trade.

it's a weird one. i sincerely hope we have walked away and are days away from announcing a new CB and a new RW - neither of whom have been picked up by the media. that was our style when amanda was running the show

Some of those CB's are not true CB's and are worse at being CB than Murphy/Miggy are at being RW'ers, 2 of them are getting decidedly old

I sincerely hope so too, because as it stands we'll finish the summer with some greek 5th choice goalkeeper as our biggest buy and can start counting off the days till isak/bruno/gordon fuck off to pastures new.

that's not exactly what i said. £70m would a lot for mbeumo too - i think his value is probably closer to £50-60m. what i said was i would rather that kind of money was splashed around on a RW than a defender if psr means we don't have the capital to burn on both positions.

 

that's not the sort of money that typically gets splashed around on defenders - it's what you pay for elite forwards. i know you don't want to hear it but £70m feels like a big overspend on guehi, it would feel like less of an overspend on a forward.

Schar is class - he's been one of our best and most consistent players since the takeover - and I would be happy to see him as first choice CB for another two seasons, especially since he retired form international football to focus on his club career. Some reinforcements in that position would be great, ideally a promising understudy, who can eventually step into his role. However, I don't see it as much as priority as RW and I question the judgement in spunking our entire summer budget (if Hope is to be believed) on that position when RW remains the one area not to be upgraded since the takeover. 

 

If Kelly isn't a true CB, then I'm going to question why we signed him too, because he looked dogshit at LB against Bournemouth
