The main point of contention was always them getting a replacement.
Leoni will have to step up you feel at some point.
They fucked around for months wanting Diomande
Oh well, at least the rest of the country will be celebrating this.
This means we can get him for 20m in January window?
Completely different argument. The time palace gave us formal approval to proceed (today) says nothing about when we started our pursuit.
We may not go after him at all, we might get someone else.
10m and they will fucking take it
Shouldve thrown a strop like Isak and Wissa
“As it stands”
It’s incredibly naive to think the bid was agreed this morning.
The fee has been the fee for ages. We’ve just been waiting for Palace to give us the nod to put it in officially.
What we knew when we started pursuit 5 weeks ago.
As @mattyhurst said i wouldn’t pay them a penny. Come January if we need someone i’d get a loan for 6 months then get Guehi for free in the summer. I’d rather spend £5m on a loan than give Palace any money now. Their mistake could cost us points this season
Nothing reported suggests this has ever been the case
Palace wanted Diomande when it looked like they were getting Europa. The player backed out after they got stripped off of that. They fucked around all the time without looking at alternatives for Diomande.
Glasner threw a hissy fit later and the owner just buckled down.
I’m glad it’s over; either way, we had a great window. We’ll be fine. Let’s look forward to Isak, and who knows how well Leoni will turn out.
Have to feel for Guehi though. He’s been incredibly respectful. Done everything by the book only for his move to be denied because of Palace’s fuckup. As opposed to guys like Isak and Wissa throwing their toys out and behaving like entitled brats to get the moves they wanted.
Assuming that is true and it didn’t start earlier, that’s still not today is it?
Unless you think all the people who reported it as the fee been arranged today are lying the offer only became firm today.
