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

No reason for Palace to let him go at this point unless they get silly money and really no reason for him to leave now either.

If we went and put £40m on the table, they probably have to sell. But just not worth it for 3 and a half months of football.

We should have got Reis back yesterday! There is a recall clause, as there is with the never to be seen again, Echeverri.
Rated best young defender in La Liga and playing in a style similar to City’s suggests we’ve made yet another misstep, post injuries.

So Girona one place above the drop zone with a GD of -17, second worst in La Liga.
As I posted earlier, that doesn’t suggest to me he’s doing that well (?) - though I don’t watch their matches so don’t really know.

Maybe the club do know what they are doing? I’m not gonna be quick to judge them on this, and if he does start v Exeter, really keen to see how Alleyne gets on - fingers crossed!

I am not sure what your expecting, a 19yr old CB to single handedly be keeping Girona in the CL spots?

As an individual hes been doing ok imo, its a tough position to be in but its a very good learning experience for him.

Is he any good?

He obviously is nowhere near as good as Guehi, so this is a huge risk for any upcoming PL fixtures. Centre back is a key position that needs strength, experience and a bit of knowledge of the ‘dark arts’. Chucking a kid in there with only a bit of Championship experience is far too big a risk and is very likely to cost us points.

That’s why I asked the question. If you’ve been watching him in games then great, I’ve not, so thanks for sharing how he’s doing. From the outside though, it’s a reasonable question to raise if he’s one of the central planks of such a porous defence.

It wouldn’t be just for three months though, he’s better than Dias anyway plus we play so many games, not to mention Stones and Aké are almost always injured (and leaving in summer).

Signing Guehi would mean the title is still on. If we don’t then we’re making things even harder than they need to be. We’d easily recoup that £40-50m if we win something.

I’d be hoping so, like a 19 yr old Vinny, or Terry or Baresi could have done. That’s the level I’d hope we can have at centre back anyway, wishful thinking obviously. I just personally never really have much faith in young defenders thrown in at the deep end. We need to buy Guehi.
