Marc Guehi

Thanks for your thoughts acas. It sounds like you know your stuff. Good luck for the new season.

For what it is worth, Marc is a lovely fellow as well as a terrific footballer. He's not flash, but is calm and understated. A role model.

Sniggers " Newcastle is a dump " , voted the best place to visit for away fans in pole after pole and frankly, if your calling Newcastle a dump you've clearly not been.

Still, crack on 😊

I was up there last year.
Were those polls only for Newcastle fans?

You REALLY think he's worth over say, £45 m. Really. Believe it or not there are a lot of Toon fans, like me, totally perplexed we are offering anything over forty five million. A lot of the fans I speak to think he's a good player, but that's it. Madness

I think he is possibly England's best center half, but only 3rd best at Palace, IMO

He won't, he's likely to go to a champion's league club in January. If he signs an extension we will be more than happy but it's unlikely.

This does look the most likely outcome.

It seems obvious to me that Marc doesn’t want to go to Newcastle and ultimately it’s down to him. He doesn’t have to sign! Without anyone else yet showing obvious interest we will either see a late bid from someone he is prepared to join now, or one in January. By which time his replacement(s) will have settled in.

There's also a story doing the rounds that Anderson is more likely than Guehi to depart.
This is sourced from the other fans' website quoting somebody who is frequently correct in his pronouncements.
He also suggests that Glasner is really keen on signing Lacroix, but for that to happen one of the centre backs has to depart (and I don't think that means Holding)!

I think we are embarrassing ourselves bidding over £45 million for Guehi ( spelling ). He had a few good games against duffer teams in the Euros and now we are meant to believe Parish opinion he's a " Superstar ", when that's clearly proposterous.

This isn't a dig at Palace BTW. It's the crazy state of the PL where there is absolute garbage spoken about a player's worth. If we are offering the purported £65 m + for him then shame on us. The world's gone absolute potty. Hope he stays with you guys..

I think the majority of Newcastle fans have been unreasonable. We have a value for Guehi, which hasn't been met...it would be like us offering 45 for your diving specialist Anthony Gordon and getting upset when you reject the bid. No disrespect to Newcastle but he isn't exactly kicking and screaming at the prospect of staying, although you have rich owners, you aren't a great club - Middlesborough have had more success in recent years. You should understand that during the Euros MG had only just returned from a serious injury & probably wasn't at his best, on his day he is unbelievable. Captioned the club at 22, full English international and you think he's valued under 45 MIL? Wow!
 
Does Guehi really want to leave South London and go and live in the North?
I read somewhere he is not so sure of moving to Newcastle.
Maybe Madrid Munich or Paris perhaps?
Or a move just north of the thames?
I read he also said what a special place Palace is and how he loves the whole Palace experience.
I reckon a move is not close.

What type of CD is Lacroix, more like Anderesen or Guehi, don't know much about him, but if Oli wants him he must be decent

Seems clickbait now want L'pool to sign him, but, not at £75m . . . Liverpool plot swoop to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi

"While his £75m valuation might be a stumbling block, Liverpool have shown in recent years they are able to negotiate some of the best bargain deals so they could be confident of lowering Palace’s asking price."

I think they may find that we are now not quite so much of a pushover as we used to be - nor will we take any more of their half-dead donkeys in part exchange.

Newcastle are not an attractive club for our players.

No need for bitterness. He's proved himself against absolute duffers in the Euros. Keep him, I'm sure he'll thrive at Palace. By the way you lose a few games at the start of the season your brittle as toffee fan base will screaming to replace the poor sap who is in charge now.

Have to laugh at the criticisms of Newcastle, Palace aren't even significant in London. How's this. Arsenal Chelsea Spurs West Ham Brentford Fulham then you lot, sniggers. I will jog on though, ta ta😆

I'd have to listen to the interview again carefully but I think in the same way you used "Superstar" in quotes I think Steve Parish did the same, but then he did throw in 'generational talent' which is a bit more open to interpretation but builds the tone nicely.

As it was a slightly mixed message. On the one it was 'hands off our prize asset' but on the other it was of course 'he is for sale (at the right price)' and of course, as it's Steve, done very publicly - but in a very reasonable way. You might say it was it a final sales pitch to Liverpool or anyone else who might be interested and could offer more but holding back for a late last deadline day bid

Which so far hasn't had any impact. But at the same time it helps the bigger picture.

We've just lost Olise for relative peanuts for his talent because of the release clause value. So it makes it clear as other posters have put it 'we won't have our pants pulled down' or 'walked over' on the valuation. With Eze, Mateta , Wharton getting a lot of interest, as well as the ridiculous low offer on Andersen. it gives the right message to the big time (and small time) 'vultures'.

I think Eddie Howe said in an interview recently how they have had to fight against the 'Newcastle Tax' of clubs doubling the price when it was them on the phone which they by holding firm on prices.

Palace doing similar work here. No FFP / PSR problems. No cash problems. Top dollar only.

But finally the rumour from yesterday was that Palace's actual valuation WAS met in the final offer. It went to Glasner who said he wanted Guehi to stay and it went to Marc and he wasn't that bothered about Newcastle so he is not making a fuss about wanting away.

So we are happy to keep him. If he has a great season then his value won't dip too much as he reaches 1 year on the contract and interest intensifies. But it might. Or he gets injured. High Stakes.

Excellent post. Particularly the point about injury. You turned down £75 m from us, and yes I'm glad because I've made my thoughts known on his valuation, but if he got injured, Palace finished in bottom half - respectfully not unlikely - and this time next year you'll be lucky to get £35m. High stakes indeed. Thing is from the tone I'm getting from Palace fans in general is even you lot don't think he's a Superstar. Parish is playing a silly game which MIGHT end up very badly for him.

45m don’t be daft.
Are you completely oblivious to the transfer deals happening everywhere?
Guehi is a sound human being and a highly respected palace player that is valued highly. We are not a selling club so just JOG ON!!

You dont pay for fine human being, Souness was an a** hole but brilliant player. As for not a selling Club, 😊stop there you're embarrassing yourself.

Can't imagine Howe getting sacked really soon. You aren't even one of the bigger clubs in the middle east. Is it not embarrassing to spend so much but still be worse every team you just listed?

TBF you lot have embarrassed yourselves over many issues in recent years. Calling Ashley a “cockney” when he was born nowhere near Bow bells for starters. Falling over yourselves worshipping the murderous regime (allegedly) who have taken over your club including those in your LGBT community, oh the irony/hypocrisy! What clubs like you now have to come to terms with are “little” clubs like Palace will no longer be bullied into selling our players. Guehi is a very very good defender and even nicer person, a stand out player at the Euros and a future England captain. He may not be a superstar yet but he certainly is well on the way.
I agree the PL has gone crazy, but the blame rests solely on the multi billionaires who have been throwing money at clubs like confetti, Chelsea being the best example.

Why has this " debate " gone on to our owners. We never asked for our owners by the way. It was anybody but Ashley, however, all I've said - just an opinion - is that he's not worth the money being spoken about. He played well against Slovakian forwards and, well, that's it. To put a over £70 Millon valuation on him is crazy. It just is. Wed be mad to pat it and a log of Toon fans are saying the same. Naivety by our owners I'm afraid.

Everyone’s got their price, I think what he means by not a selling club is that we don’t have to do so to survive anymore and we don’t have to get stitched up by taking the first pony offer that comes in

You're just sore and looking at the worst case scenario for Palace to make yourself feel better.
The far more likely outcome is that he gets sold in January or at the end of the season and the Geordies will have missed out. No fault of theirs, just how it goes sometimes.

I’m afraid it’s the going rate for a decent international cb at the moment, especially as we don’t have to sell to survive these days, he’s got two years left on his contract and we’ve already sold one gem

so pay up or piss off basically😀
Click to expand...
Nope we won't pay for mediocrity. Going rate for a decent CB. Absolute joke 🤣. By the way, you don't REALLY believe him when he says he wants to stay. Money talks, nice human being or not, motivation is money. Nice human being that.
