Gettin’ Guehi with it


Three Lions Football GIF by England
 
Expect that, if the rumours are true, Madrid aren't offering us £35-40m, they're tapping up the player to get him for nothing next year. Palace are in a better place because in LFC they have a willing buyer who will pay that money, we don't have that with Konate.
And if what we're actually doing is hedging our bets thinking that we can sign the player next summer on a free if we don't shift Ibou for cash this summer, then we're no better than Madrid. I did get a vibe that this might be the tactic. We'd be screwing Palace as much as Madrid would be screwing us, arguably more so given he's their captain.
I get what you're saying but it's a bit weird that we don't have a willing buyer for Konate.
I bet a lot of big clubs in Europe would love to have Konate. The problem is if he's made it clear that he only wants Real.

Its rumoured PSG are interested. My issue is if Guehi is his replacement who is Quansah's replacement as we can't trust Jo to stay fit. I suppose it can wait till the winter window to be addressed.

He should be replaced with young-ish defender, that would accept a 4th choice role. Or an older CB who wants to win shit before he retires.

Ya Madrid were kind enough to only go for our vice captain!
 
If we can get guehi, I think we may let ibou go providong we can find an appropriate low cost young backup cb. I hope not, as I'd like him to sign the ting.
 
Sign Guehi. Tell Konate he's second choice unless he signs. See how that plays in a WC year. Hopefully he'll leave and we can move and we can all move on.

Palace have to give 20 percent of a fee to Chelsea, so I'll imagine that will be bolting that onto their valuation, which we would do well to ignore.
 
Guehi is roughly on a par - all things considered - with Konate (plus the extra 20% VVD partner improvement to come)…

If Ibou goes (and yes PSG interest is key) and we sign Guehi plus a Hato type then we’re well enough set with Gomez to hang around too.

Yeah not sure about that. Konate is super rapid, Konate is a bulldozer and can not be bullied, Konate has the height and is invaluable on crosses. I know which one I'd choose every day of the week. That said maybe Guehi next to VvD could possibly realise the potential for improvement.
