What Guehi would have turned up? The same that faced Macclesfield?
Perhaps City and Guehi put their feet down? Do you force him to play anyway?
OG can hardly have been taken by surprise. Were his comments more a deflection from the dulling of his crown?
£20m is a steal but not with mere months to the end of a contract (he won't renew) and more than the nothing if he played to season end. Our club cannot afford that risk. The buyer club held all the cards, including the time of sale.
Ideally, we would have had an alternative lined up. We haven't. Unlike Man City we do not have the resources within financial rules to buy a ready made English international from the premier League.
We rode our luck with Guehi in the summer. I don't know what OG realistically thought would happen now?
We also need consider our reputation in the market as a selling club. The issue with Liverpool may have tarnished that.
He did know what would happen because he said it himself on 7th January

Oliver Glasner believes that Marc Guehi will remain a Crystal Palace player until the end of the season, but he has not completely ruled out the defender's exit in January.
Guehi was the subject of interest from Liverpool last summer, and Glasner has previously said he expects the Palace captain to leave the club upon the expiry of his contract in the summer.
Manchester City have also reportedly emerged as one of the front-runners for the 25-year-old's signature, as injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol have left Pep Guardiola with scant options in defence.
Palace played out a 0-0 draw with high-flying Aston Villa on Wednesday night, and after the match, Glasner admitted that "every single player has a price".
"If the offer would have been high enough [last summer] and the club was fine with it and Marc wanted to go, then he wouldn't be a Palace player anymore," Glasner told Sky Sports.
"Last January would have been the same. Every single player has a price where a club will sell him, when you are Palace because we are not at the end of the food chain in football.

"I think Marc will stay but if he says 'I want to leave' and a club pays massive money with five months left of contract, then any player would leave if you are a club like Palace."

The future of Marc Guehi is still uncertain, with Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner predicting the defender would stay in January, but adding "you never know".
