To all posters: let’s give it a rest with these stupid provocations, gags and gifs please, and stay a bit on topic for once. Thanks.

I assume if they do sell him now he walks…Odd quote, ultimately it will be the owners decision and he has made it clear that it is possible.

I think he will come, but late in the window. Palace will get some real use out of him in the Prem, and also in helping them to advance in Europe.
They won’t get 50M, if that’s what they are hoping for. I suspect it will start to get nice and clear for them as the window is closing. 35M now (arguably with 5M add-ons - I struggle to see us going higher than 40M total) OR risk losing him for free next summer.
The fact that there does not appear to be substantive talks with other clubs probably indicates Guehi wants us and we want him, and until it is done, we will all be professional about it.

I don’t like managers like this, and I suspect there will be a falling out sooner or later.
Yes I understand his frustration, but its not just about him and at some point you have to take other interests into consideration. From the reporting it took Eze calling in sick for him to be left out of the ECL game. Its not right to risk a player’s career in that manner…
The club has to deal with the realities of the situation, which is what Parrish is trying to do…

Glasner is understandably pissed at the prospect of losing his best player and his captain, with no time to get suitable replacements. Wouldn’t be surprised if he left for another club when the annual mid-season sackings take place. He’s a good coach

I understand that part, but keep it behind closed doors…And don’t jeopardize the careers of players…His public criticism, which he claims its not, is not very wise…
I know it’s silly but I do think the fact he keeps forcefully stating they will play (then one doesn’t) the thing last Sunday is probably intriguing. But I am with him on this until a club puts down a bid agreed then he probably should be playing. However that’s up to us and Parrish to agree that. Evidently Eze doesn’t need a replacement for them to listen to offers so Guehi is probably thinking why me?

If this is in relation to the interview above @Livvy posted, he doesn’t strike me as being pissed. It also appears his comments on timings are more to do with just the Conference second leg rather than the league season.

Eze has a release clause does he not that Arsenal have met.
Not a lot Palace can do.

Ah I wasn’t aware… not sure why he had to phone in sick then?

Nope the release clause expired in July this is a straight forward transfer.
After been so free with money early in the window this hang up on 5m seems strange.

I think we try to be careful with every penny we spend. Even though we had some big deals early on in the window, we negotiated all the prices downward until it was more acceptable to us.
If it is a 5M difference as we think, I hear what you are saying, that in the grand scheme of things it’s not that much. But on the other hand, maybe Hughes, if he knows he has his man, is thinking, “Might as well wait another couple of weeks and save 5M, but if anything changes in the meantime we are ready to move at the drop of a hat.”

Isn’t that the amount, near enough to what you get for winning a CL game?

Believe someone posted earlier in the thread that the money for qualifying for the conference league is 3.something so from Palaces pov to drop 5 off from Guehi and sell him before qualifying potentially losing another 3+ adds up to an 8 million gap we need to sort if we want him before their second leg

Near enough i believe.
Or they lose 35m if he sees out his contract, fear of loss is far greater

And if he helps them win the conference league or another domestic cup/ achieve a higher league finish they stand to make more money out of keeping him.
They’ve put a price on what they thinks he’s worth to their season, and tbh for a player of his calibre at his age it’s a fair price.

Nice interview on the BBC
Some extracts
Kelly: Are you a sociable person?
Marc: Yes, but I don’t have many friends. All my friends are either in different countries or live in Manchester or Liverpool so it’s hard to connect.
Kelly: What’s the one match that stands out from your career?
Marc: The FA Cup final? No, no…not for me. That’s not even great… I see that more for the football club and the fans. I’m really happy for them. But for me… I don’t think I have one if I’m being honest, just because I think that is still to come. There will be one to come at some point in my career but not now.
Uh huh

Fuck me, thats the captain of the club doing an interview where he was prepared? Can’t connect in that London and the FA Cup (the first silverware ever for the side he captains) is ‘not even a stand out game’ Wow.
