Very short term solution. I think the last time he played in the PL he was very sporadic with his performances. I doubt that consistency has improved with age.
Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

What Cundy and O’hara know about football can be written on a postage stamp. There show is just about stirring it up to get calls in and listeners. Ignore
The European competition we end up is a massive issue, anyone who thinks different is deluded.

Yep £17m for 33 year old even with his experience doesn’t look a good deal
Yup I have stopped listening to shows like this. They are just shock jocks arguing for the sake of figures. If people want to listen to this rubbish so be it.
Tonight’s big question. Joey Barton says women footballers are crap, discuss.
You might as well have a programme called:

Yes, i think it shows how difficult it is for buying for non champions league teams, and how easy it is to sell them to the money teams.

Paying £17m for a 33 yo with no resale value shows just how desperate Sunderland are. I imagine Leverkusen couldn't believe their luck when Sunderland offered that much - no wonder they accepted.
I dont think it's a great deal but they didn't want to sell and ten hag was unhappy his left, the fact Sunderland can offer better terms than a team who won the bundesliga 2 years ago and were runners up last yeah just shows the pull and resources prem teams have.

Yes - if anyone needs proof of that then just look at the lengths Notts Forest are going to in order to replace us in the EL !

I suspect talk of players not wanting to come to Palace because of the uncertain status regarding which Euro competition we end up in is a bit of a red herring. If the club is going to have a serious attempt at either competition then Glasner will presumably pick his strongest team, which as it stands is the one that won the FA cup there or thereabouts. Any transfers in will be back up to that first 11, I doubt we have the finance available to supplant those players anyway. We tend to spend low in the hope that the player comes good, we can all name the duffers and those that came good. It usually takes a player a season to get fully into his stride, I remember Drogba at Chelsea, so I'm expecting Eddie Nketiah to have a sizzling season....

Drogba scored 16 goals in his first season at Chelsea.

I remember it well, I had him in my dream team. I think he was injured for part of the season. Anyway, you're correct, not the best example.

SP himself said it makes no difference they have plans for years in place and even mentioned DF who as we know has left and did so before we had even won the FA Cup.
Complete and utter hogwash of the highest order, why are we bothering to go to CAS, Buffoonery.

Whilst I obviously get the reservations, he's a player with serious pedigree (400 PL/Bundesliga appearances, 137 international caps) who significantly improves their chances of staying up.
Not every signing can be about re-sale value or financial prudency - sometimes you just need to improve the squad, particularly if you've jumped up a division.

I never understood why we acquired him in the first place. Think of the goodwill if the club had just given away the money in Croydon town centre instead...
I think the thing with Steve is that he’s reluctant to overpay for players coming in or undersell those who leave.
He managed to sell Bolassie for nearly £30m and AWB for around £50m extracting full value for those sales.
He renegotiated the Olise release clause to £50m from the £35m he was available for ( not full value, but at least avoiding Olise going for a comparative pittance) and we still got another season out of him.
In general terms this approach has served us well with far more hits than misses even if we may have missed out on a few along the way through refusing to budge.
In thinking about this stubborn streak in him I’m sure he’s looking at the big picture rather than Glasner’s inevitable short term view dictated by the remaining one year on his contract.
What does this say about the current situation?
I don’t think Steve would would want Guehi to leave on a free.
Thus it’s probably a question of renegotiating a release clause and extension a la Olise , or getting the best possible deal for him which will probably only be realised at the end of the window ( who blinks first).
Eze has two years on his contract giving the club a stronger position and I could see Parish playing hardball on this .
Of course the above is not helpful to Glasner in terms of early purchases but I don’t see Steve being deflected from the path that has generally served him well over more than ten years for the sake of a keeping a short term manager happy, no matter how good he is.

The premier league is now about legs and energy. Very few can cut it in the PL once those go. Does he still have it ???
