Should OG walk

[Tim Gypsy Hill '64]

Deal agreed

Medical done

Deal sheet handed in

Just a few key details, grumpy

Yep. But a few minutes away from 'signing a replacement'.

Not "selling without a replacement". Quite pleased.

Anything that will piss off the Scousers is fine by me. 😆

The deal was that Guehi would stay if no replacement. We got no replacement. Guehi was not sold. The deal was honoured.

If you believe the bollocks about Glasner threatening Parish, you must be naive. How would that even reach a reporter?

If being naive means believing that Glasner was instrumental in Guehi not moving, well yes I confess to being naive.

In fact Glasner said the agreement reached in March was that Palace should have a replacement lined up for the beginning of July so the player could be integrated during pre season.You may of course choose to disbelieve his words but I don’t.

What wasn’t in people’s minds in March was replacing England’s best centre back with Brighton’s 4th choice centre back just hours from the window closing.
Talk about amateur hour.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I respect what Mr P has done for our club, but at this point in our history we need to retain the best manager we've ever seen at Selhurst.

And, although the potential deal was for a sum of £35m, remember that Chelsea would have received £7m of it, and I reckon Marc is worth a lot more than £28m to us.

20% of the profit so £3.4m to Chelsea.

Maybe Ollie didn't fancy Igor, who got that impression at his medical (I don't know if he actually talked to OG). However if he did get the vibe that OG wasn't that keen can you blame him for going to Wet Spam.

He was after all looking for game time.

There is some chatter online that we were after Igor and Pavlovic.

Pavlovic was the Guehi replacement, Igor was a bit of a sticking plaster that just knew the league and could help out.

Chat online was that we pulled the deal on Igor, not that he jumped to WH, nor that he was ever the MG replacement.

Glasner said at the time of the agreement with the club back in March it was known that Eze’s release clause could be activated and that’s why there was agreement that a replacement needed to be found i.e fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
As it happened, the clause expired but the club decided to cash in anyway.

On Guehi, when it was clear that he wouldn’t sign a new contract, the club actively looked to sell him. The story is that Guehi had reached agreement some weeks ago on personal terms with Liverpool and this was the destination he wanted.

I think it will work out and Guehi and Glasner will knuckle down after the international break.
But this last day fiasco was avoidable if proper preparation had occurred.

Players have all the power in todays football world, look at the antics of Isak and Wissa. Guehi would of gone, if Brightons 5th choice CB hadn't turned us down in favour of W.Ham. Guehi seems a decent lad, but wants to better himself, you can't blame Parish for his ambition, but I expect he will still give 100% to Palace whilst he is here.
Agreements in footballs crazy world mean nothing
