Marc Guehi | City strong contenders for transfer this month (p60)

I can’t see palace selling him mid season.

When Dias and Gvardiol are fit, which they will be at some point does he even start for us?

Posters will say we need a big squad, but we rarely ever rotate (hence all the injuries with a few players)

If Palace can get 25-35m for him now rather than fuck all in 6 months, they’ll bite our hands off.

Palace basically admitting that they'll sell this month.

Sounds like we just need to get the offer right.

Can only imagine we've been pushing strong with him and his agent.

Must be a hard decision though.

Guehi knows he can wait 6 months and the pocket £25m in a signing on fee, or get substantially less now.

Most people would wait it out and take the money.

I think given the circumstances we will probably throw money at him in either wages or signing on fee.

If Palace only want £35m for him thats bargain considering the player and market...
 
Every penny Palace get is a penny less for him - really depends what he is willing to give up by not waiting … Not unless Palace are happy with a relatively nominal sum and a player exchange ….

It’s not a bargain. We’ve had to pay a premium because we’re out of defenders.

£50m+ for a player out of contract in 6 months is a lot of money, but necessary.

He would earn much bigger wages with us than elsewhere though even with a signing bonus? Then there our success bonuses etc?

Reactive? How the hell could you predict 3 top class CBs being injured at the same time and still have Ake/Khusa fit???

How many defenders do you expect us to have on the books, paying 6 figure weekly wages and keeping happy, at the same time??

Time after time I keep reading posts on here. That are not in the real world it's not fantasy football. We cant have 4 players for every defensive position.
Injuries happen that's football.

He has a good chance of playing over Dias consistently. His form's been up and down for a couple seasons now and it doesn't seem like Khusanov is enough to challenge him for his place regularly.

He has a good chance to get the starting spot with no injuries. Especially if Gvardiol ends up back at fullback once he returns from his lay off.
 
I'm 50/50 on our chances here.

I wouldn't be surprised if Guehi is okay with just playing every game at Palace, then getting a big signing bonus wherever he chooses afterwards. He is guaranteed a callup to the World Cup anyways.

And I'm sure Palace wouldn't mind keeping him because they will struggle to replace him, their results are sliding, and don't really want to ruin any chances of europe in the 2nd half. Even if they lose a fee, they might see it as a better result.

We have to convince both that we will still give a bonus AND pay Palace a decent fee to not have him for the remaining part of the season. But this means we are likely paying atleast 40m imo to cover both costs. I'm not sure we are willing to do that.
