Guehi to Liverpool Jan?

The Man City offer is very clever. Offer Palace £20m with £10m add ons then offer Mark £300,000 p/w as opposed to the £200,000 p/w he was being offered by Liverpool. Over 4 year contract, this will equate to £20m more which with pfa rules is great and for the Saudi owners is a few coppers.
But for Mark, to jump from £50k/wk to £300k/wk is sensational. It was clearly going to get the deal done.
So they get one of the best central defenders on the planet, and within their pay structure for 4 and a bit years for £25-30m. Nice, very nice.
And where we are today, to bank that sort of money which in 5 months goes to zero is exceptional.

I’ve got no worries about Guehi going for £20m. Better than nothing and hopefully we can get a decent CH in with that money.

Who will want to come here? The club is in free fall on and off the pitch. Palace will probably just use Jeff or Danny in that position.

Shhhh. Don’t let the secret out. Guehi is number 35 in the Premier League Player Rankings and 466 in the World. Maxence Lacroix is number 30 in the Premier League and 265 in the World. I know who I would rather keep.

A million a month pay rise? That his agent/advisors have played a blinder doesn't alter the fact that football is beyond bonkers. At some clubs anyway.

supposedly Chelsea get 20% of the whole fee, not on the profit, which is the norm.

Not only was this a pretty poor arrangement from Palace's perspective and one i'm surprised we agreed to, but it means we get £16m and not £20m upfront.

As Canvot cost £20m and had played 20 games at the time of the purchase it shows it will be difficult to get a replacement for similar money

Unless you take the view as I do that we massively overpaid for Canvot. Wasn’t Riad about £8m and don’t forget Lacroix was signed in a deal worth up to £18m.

Agree we did massively overpay for Canvot and it appears we will do the same if we get the lad from Angers.

I didn't say we couldn't get a replacement, but it will be difficult.

As i have said a number of times Tanganga in the summer for his £1.5m release clause was surely a no brainer. A decent championship defender who is still young enough to improve under good coaching.

With European football we always needed a couple more CBs and with the MG situation it was always a strong possibility he would go at some point.

Riad was hardly cheap and has been injured for the last year and a half. Not sure we can use him as an example of a good transfer policy.

The £14m includes add ons BTW

Did we? We have yet to see him. Consider his age. He was bought for the future. His early and unexpected experience could prove invaluable.
