I can't understand the stand off position LFC are taking with Palace! What's the alternative?
So Konobhead goes on a free. leaving us with VVD Joe Gomez and a recovering Leonie in the summer. Clearly under pressure to sign a ready made player for CB. Looking at £70-£80m?
By then 2 would be required. So say £120m spend?
Taking a chance on letting city in makes no common sense to me.
Go and get the player this week. It will pay dividends in the long run. He is a Class player.

You're disappointed with the summer transfer window, already, Chrisy?
We might have wanted Guehi in the summer because of the price, £35m, and because he wanted to come. Things changed and things might have changed again. A deal might be less doable now.
I do hope the club will be looking at centre back options in the summer, too, though.

Class players don't stay at smaller clubs ( no disrespect to palace) why haven't we, United city Chelsea Arsenal etc shown interest before? It's because he's free it's attractive. Bournemouth had class defenders last year was they only there 12 months and gone.

I genuinely think that people are total over estimating guehi's ability just because of how bad our defense has been this season. I actually think he's not much of an upgrade if any at all on what we have. He plays in a back 3 currently that sits deep, we play totally different.
I get we need more bodies to cover but it's not like he's prime Maldini. We clearly need players but I won't be overly upset if this lad ends up somewhere else.

I would imagine if Palace are willing to sell they will want to get in a replacement beforehand.

EM, Guehi was having a medical at LFC while City had Igor from Brighton coming in as a replacement. Well, up until Glasner threw the he toys out the pram and scuppered the whole thing. At least, that's what Ed01 said, I think.

Hellohello, I get your point on Guehi. Last season I said exactly the same, every single time I watched him he didn't look good at all but this season he looks much better. I think he'd be a big improvement on Konate but that's not very difficult to find because Konate is absolutely useless.
I hope we sign him but I don't think we will, I can't see any deals getting done this month.

Hi Rigsby.
It's well documented on here I have been singing MG PRAISE since way before the summer transfer window opened.
I was fuming when we didn't get it done. I also blame Hughes for leaving it so late.
I was chuffed like most with our summer window! Like most posters I thought we would kick on and dominate for years to come.
I highlighted in several quotes I couldn't see how we made the players fit together. But trusted Slot to blend them.
How wrong I was ? I had a nagging doubt about the way we played on the run in and again posted about it on here.
People saying he's not a good player are miles of it. He is a class act. He will become a legend at Anfield.
So overall mixed feelings about summer window. I think the players in big plus? wish Diaz stayed, but take Ed001 point him and his dad were sneaky snakes, who disrespect what we did for them.
I guess my big disappointment is the fact that Slot just isn't what we all thought he was, and has totally missed what's required by us as fans, the premier league as a whole.

Chrisymate - Fully agree, if I have to watch another much needed talent get snatched out from under us, and still have to listen to fools claiming "Edwards is playing a blinder" I'll end up pulling me hair out mate.

At last a voice of reason hellohello. By the way people talk about Guehi you'd think the lad could beat everyone on his own.
He plays on the left of a back 3 with loads of protection all around him and no space behind him.
We'd be asking him to play in a 2, much higher up the pitch, going one on one with strikers and wingers. It's a totally different skill set. He could adapt really well but I suspect he lacks the height, speed and physicality to do it.
I think he could end up being a worse option than Konate. At least Konate has the height and physical strength even if he does have a million brain farts a game.

Dont see why people think there'll be no deals this season. We could do with a CB, mightnt be Guehi but relying on Joe Gomez to privide cover is very very risky so wouldn't surprise me at all to see someone coming in.
