Marc Guéhi

Media puts it as if trading MG would evidently have been the optimal choice financially. But the more I think about it, I am really not so sure if this is the case. Replacing him would clearly have decreased the squad's strength and self believe (at least in the short term), which would imply a decrease of market value of everyone of them.

I agree as we could bring Canvot (if the next replacement) gradually into the side
 
In time Guehi might think we’ve done him a favour.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all linked with him ( why wouldn’t they be on a free?) and who’s to say they won’t be joined by Manchester City if they look defensively wobbly this season.
Potentially that competition between the world’s biggest clubs will drive up the packages available to him significantly.

In fact there is an argument that, in the summer, Guehi should pay Palace a commission for driving up the value of the packages available to him!

God has a plan, i said it before he is a devout Christian and all will be fine, ignore the click bait.
Of course he would have been disappointed, upset, angry even but after reflection and prayer he will see the bigger picture such as the one you shared above
Bring on a tough but winnable on our day game against Sunderland

Much has been written on the subject of Marc Guehi. Let's not lose sight of the fact that he signed a contract to be a Palace player until 2026.
Of course a footballer can have his career terminated by a bad tackle. As a Christian, Marc Guehi will know that what he earns and will continue to earn until the end of his contract is a huge sum of money by global and British standards. You can put a child through boarding education in Uganda for £25 a month.
It is a modern malaise to congratulate people for doing what they should do anyway. He was presumably happy enough to sign his current contract with Palace. If he's a 'model professional ' or whatever, then he should get on with his job. I'd really like to see a professional who is such a 'model' that they do not have their head turned by the prospect of even more money, or by the holy grail of playing for a bigger club than Palace. A player who committed himself to playing for Palace for the duration of his career. That really would be different.

And Keegan should have spent his career with Scunthorpe, Olise with Reading, Eze with QPR, Ian Wright with Greenwich Borough, etc. Anyone in any profession or occupation who doesn't wish to be as successful as possible - and success is almost invariably measured in financial terms - has no reason to be seen as a "model". Aspiration is a natural and honourable human trait.

At least Greenwich Borough received a set of weights as a transfer fee
