Marc Guéhi

[Paul Salvage]

The wording :

"A Player shall only play for one Club in the Competition during the same Season, save that a Player that has played for one Club in the Qualifying Competition and/or the Competition Proper may play for a maximum of one other Club in the Competition Proper (but may only play for a maximum of one Club in any given round of the Competition)."

The FA has complicated yet another simple change with their ridiculous wording. I found this online.

“Now, players are able to play for two clubs in the FA Cup during the same season. Players who feature in the qualifying rounds for non-league clubs can represent another team in the competition proper. The latter stipulations for the preliminary rounds are not relevant to Premier League clubs.

This rule could come into practice for last season's winning captain. Crystal Palace and England centre-back Marc Guehi is out of contract this summer and has been linked with a plethora of clubs, including Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Previously, any decision to select Guehi against Macclesfield could have been framed in terms of whether Palace did or didn't want to cup-tie their player in relation to a potential transfer. Now, whether or not Guehi plays at the Leasing.com Stadium will have no bearing on any transfer before the January deadlines”

I assume I've got this wrong but if not being Cup tied doesn't seem like much of an issue if it only applies to games in the same round?

That is how I understand the rule change.
Marc could play for us in round 3 and then City in round 4.

Thanks. Yet another change that completely passed me by.

I only read about the change yesterday as I was going to post about Marc potentially being cup tied and stumbled across the article I just posted.
The FA are truly inept and you would have to have a bloody law degree to understand their wording most of the time.

In a similar vein, as Brennan Johnson has played Champion League games for Spurs he'll be cup tied for us in the Conference.

With the latest news of injuries to Man City defenders could we see a bidding war between them and the bin dippers for Mark in this window?
If so how much would we be happy to accept for the disruption it will cause?

I believe that Mark has become one of the best central defenders in WORLD football, but
for me I would drive him to either destination for anything north of £35m considering the circumstances. However it would need to be done quickly to give us enough time to reinvest it.

What car you got for this drive 😁

I don’t think so as it’s a different competition.

That’s an extraordinarily long winded and bizarrely confusing way of saying “a maximum of 2 clubs”!

I cannot believe how poor he was today. Can any fan who was there please tell us what he said to the fans at the end ?

Presumably he apologised.

Presumably done just for Man City. They could just say that.

Well he definitely won’t be playing in round 4 for Palace🤬

Marc was seen talking animatedly to our supporters after the match before he had left the pitch. Would love to know what was being said.

Probably "I'm a Premier League player, get me out of here".
Even Guehi today was not up to his normal high standard.

Very likely Willo, but the body language seemed to suggest he was trying to somehow justify our performance.

To be fair, at the moment if we were offered ten quid for him, take it and save his wages.
