Marc Guehi (CB) Crystal Palace

I certainly think it will be very careless if we don’t add another central defender before the window closes. After doing so much good work in the market, that is leaving ourselves very vulnerable.

I fully expect we will add one, but if not, it’s grounds for legitimate complaint, strange as that sounds after an amazing window overall.

Obviously, the earlier you do your business the better, and we have done that with most of our signings, but central defence is still lacking,

Like all good reds I love Robbo, but if we are seeing him as a central defensive option, ugh! Most teams in the Prem have a decent striker who can put themselves about a bit, and they will position themselves to try to go up against Robbo every time if he is playing there. Any time there is a corner, or a set piece, they will pile their big players around Robbo too. He would be on a hiding to nothing.

Is that like when everyone was crying about Grav last summer. The way you are going on you would think Robbo is 5 foot 2.

We’re a CB down from last season. Quite obviously Quansah needs replacing.

Our players should just fall down, they did and got a free kick.

Their keeper is shocking.

This belongs in the US Politics thread.

Considering club is looking at Guehi seems they understand this.

334

They’ve been looking at him for a long time. What do you think they’re looking for?

An agreement. Parish to not be a knob?

I would have thought if the club wanted Guehi enough they would have signed him by now, or there would have been much more noise around the move. I think we’re more likely to be looking at other options.

Reminds me a bit of the the Ekitike deal.

That suddenly just happened.

338

not really the bit where ‘it happened’, and the ‘suddenly’ part dosent really apply either…

apart from that…carbon copy

Well it did happen quite quickly, there was interest but nothing massively concrete in our move and then Newcastle tried to get him and all of a sudden we acted on him and Isak.

I’m not an idiot I do remember what happened.

Like what RM did with Trent, we’ll do the same with Guehi and get him for free next season.

341

Hopefully he won’t go out a PL winner :rofl:

342

Maybe, but we still need a CB this season.

I only just realised that Palace aren’t guaranteed a spot on the ECL and have to play the qualifying round. I wonder if maybe they are waiting till after that to do the deal?

Winning that qualifier guarantees 8 extea games and additional income so gives them a better idea of who they can look at. Lising that game means they only have the PL and domestic cups so wont be as desperate to bring in a replacement (or they could look for a loan deal to tide them over for 1 year)

If they play Guehi in the qualifier, is he cup tied in other UEFA competitions? I really don’t know the answer though its probably been answered 1000 times on here.

Its an interesting take, and if so maybe Liverpool are happy with that scenario.

One way or other, I think we have to sign a CB, and I doubt there isn’t some work done to sort this.

If we don’t sign a CB, Guehi or anyone else…will we be moaning all year like Arsenal fans over their lack of a centre forward last season?

If i remember correctly, i think the cup-tied rule only covered the same competition. So if you moved from Europa League team to another team in Europa League then you would be cup-tied. If you moved from E/L to Champions League then you would be fine to play
