Marc Guehi | Signing confirmed

[sanesou]

Guehi is taking a risk seeing out his deal instead of securing a transfer now. Fckng up his knee at Palace this spring and nobody wants him in the summer.

 

[mattcity5]

Guehi is a ball playing centreback, the epitome of a Pep defender, why wouldnt Guehi slot straight in

Because tons of players seem to take a season or so getting used to what Pep wants and while Palace are a decent side, Glasner doesn't have them dominating possession regularly.

Not saying he's not capable of picking it up, just saying that there's no guarantee he'll get it immediately and not cause any issues.

That's pretty unlikely and I bet the majority of clubs would still take him on a free transfer

I just dont see how he wouldnt settle in straight away, Duas who is a totally different type of defender sertled straight away.

Although Alleyne has come from the academy, he's been out on loan at Watford & I'd be surprised if they play in a similar fashion.

Akanji is probably the closest example as he signed in January 22 & hed did more than ok.

Akanji signed in august 22

 

[Middedon]

How confident are u mate? You know of any potential back ups?

I agree we can't risk going with two youngsters it would be madness.

There are a lot of people here and elsewhere that would start Max and Kush even if everyone is healthy. Feels like a real split from the fan base on which pair is favored.

This place is a bit weird sometimes. Fantastic young player, current England international, seems like a great lad, excellent defender, quick, great on the ball, available at a knock down price due to his contract situation, plays in a position that needs strengthening. Would be an incredible signing if we can pull it off. Yet City fans are on here advocating for us not to sign him, because a youngster has had a couple of decent games. You've got to laugh.

 

[Ajm1985]

Im not arguing over what "you think we are doing." Im putting forth an argument about what "we should be doing" and how not being stressed over Guehi is in line with that vision.

That said, i don't remember any summer links to Guehi. He was headed to Liverpool and many thought we should have jumped in at that price. Myself included. But the landscape changed his Liverpool deal fell through and we saw a January opportunity... Then Max came in and showed promise and there is the promise Reis is showing in Spain... All things considered, in my view a loaner will be the best decision.


Again, loans are not the norm. But they can happen.

Links to targeting Guehi in the upcoming summer - it has been referenced repeatedly when giving you a timeline of actual information, not your selective opinion. This really is quite tiresome as you are building up a pretence of logical deduction while ignoring what is actually being reported.



As I said, this tiresome, so feel free to go nuts on how you think we should be doing x, while ignoring the information we actually have.

You have a very good point. Strangely though I wouldn’t be hugely disappointed if we miss out. I suppose he has never stood out for me the few times I have seen him. Still a great deal if it happens.

Whereas the first time I saw Semenyo I really wanted him at City.

Alleyne's had probably 4 years of training and playing with City, so knows what's wanted even if he hasn't played at the top level. The questions for him are maybe more if he can cope physically, cope withe extra pace and if his concentration levels are up to it. So far he's managed well, and seems ideal for us.

For Guehi itll be more about adapting how he plays. He might be fine, he could develop to be great for us. It might even turn out that the best partnership we could have would be Guehi and Alleyne.

We'll see what happens anyway. If the club feels he's the right man (and they're the ones who know any transfer plans for the summer etc), then I hope we get him. And soon.

We signed Gundo when he had one kneecap.

Disappointing no one has said “time to shit or get off the pot” yet.

Transfer forum’s gone.

We've had plenty of "just pay whatever it takes" and "if he doesn't decide by 5pm today then he's had long enough and we should walk away" though.

No one seems to care whether he’s prepared to pack his bags yet either.

 

[sanesou]

Some sources have said for days the club is preparing a bid, others say "it's difficult", "slowly moving away" and "exploring other targets". Just a normal week of transfer gossip I suppose.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

And if we get Guehi and he cost us the error How do we square that?

Wow - I give up Guehi international player club captain FA cup winner vs a young lad who has played 1 PL game
You tell me who is more likely to make an error in the last 16 of Champions league

 

[yellamcfc]

Hopefully it is stalling while Palace sort out their replacement, which you would assume has been identified, knowing all season that Guehi will be gone in summer.
Him leaving now, just speeds that recruitment up a little.

Max and Khusanov have done well in the last couple of games, but we can’t put too much pressure on them, especially with Champions League games coming up.

We need a reliable experienced player in there, even if it stunts the growth of the young players.

No. I said i didn't hear about links in the summer. As in summer of 2025 when he was dead set to join Liverpool. Dont pretend you thought I meant next summer. Lol

Its a transfer forum and i am presenting my opinion on what I think wil be the best move. You disagree. Cool! Neither has anything to do with information we already have. We are both using that. You just are reaching a different conclusion


Im opining. Not ITKing.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Surely Palace will be pushing for him to go this transfer window so they can pick up some pennies?

The point im making is an error could happen to anyone. I remember peak Kompany making one of the worst errors ever for a goal. Doesn't making any less peak.


That said, CL Q finals are in April. About 11 weeks away. Id hope Dias is fully back bu then and our loanie relegated to backup duties
