Gettin’ Guehi with it

If Ibu isn’t going to sign i would be happy with Guehi + one other CB to cover his departure. That might be too much overhaul at the back however.
 
45-50 mill £ inc add ons is the latest in terms of what Palace would accept according to the media reports. The fee is getting reduced.
 
100% better than anything Id have been able to think of.

How much do you think they'll ask for?
I'm guessing £50 mill. If it's more than £40 mill we should tell them to fuck off.
 
My guess would be they won't set a fee as high as £50 mill because that might well ensure that Guehi went nowhere this year, which in turn would mean he'll run his contract down and leave on a free in 12 months' time.

I'd be willing to go a shade over £40 mill (£42 mill.tops) to get the deal done because I rate Guehi and think he'd do well with us.

I think we paid £40 mill for Ox and he also had a year left. So that might be the going rate.
 
If we get Guehi and Konate doesn't sign. I do anticipate that Guehi will be the defacto #2 CB.

Konate will still get minutes given Virgils age. But the big games will go to Virgil and Guehi.

Which gives us a year to get a replacement for Konate (Feck off)

Sounds reasonable to me.
 
So silky smooth ball-playing type?

What's he like in the air? How's his pace? He more of a carrier or a passer?
He's not the silky type. More like the tenacious in your face type defender. More like Konate, than Van Dijk.
Goes to ground a lot, throws himself into tackles.
Quick too.
 
Good to know. I checked on the stats and he's not that high on the list in terms of heading but, if fans who see him every week do rate him in that respect, that's got to mean something.
 
If he instructs his agent to refuse to engage with other clubs then Palace are in a tricky position. He won't mind staying and playing with them regularly in a WC year so they need to decide now much that year is worth to them. I think Palace are sensible enough to sell and replace.

From our POV, I'd hope for no more than £40m. If his agent starts creating a bidding war then it's time to reevaluate.
