Ed001
Hope you are well mate.
What do you think the end game will be with Guehi? This lad is no doubt a class football player IMHO and an upgrade overall. My opinion is not to go in with a low ball offer 15m as has been talked about. Unless there are cast iron agreements that he will come to us? I'm concerned holding palace to ransom could mean a free for all next summer, and we may miss out again. £30 m fist of January secure the player. YNWA.
{Ed001's Note - I expect him to join us, the money is not the issue, it is Glasner refusing to accept any replacements that have been lined up. I expect it will probably be the summer now though, as I don't think Palace will let him leave in January in order to keep Glasner sweet.}

Depends on whether Glasner would stay until January, Ed. If Utd decides that they have had enough of Amorim, I can definitely see Glasner throwing his hat into the ring and jumping ship to them, leaving CP in the lurch.
{Ed001's Note - that is true, Glasner is not keen on a new contract.}

30m is more than we were willing to pay for him in the summer, surely you're not suggesting we pay more for a player with 6 months less on his contract simply because we are desperate to bring him in.

I thought it was 35m. Whatever it was is not my point. I'm concerned we miss out altogether. It's half time in Man United game as I write this. The gaps, the hesitation, the fact that our new full back can't take a throw in is my concern. We don't look right at all. If we let him go to another club because we want to screw them for a few quid it will be our loss in the end.
YNWA.

Who would take Glasner if Slot can't sort out the mess and the board decide to make a change. Not saying Slot should or needs to go just a hypothetical question.

No Charlie. His system is for a certain level of team. Not one that looks to dominate games. Plus he has an awful personality.
19 Oct 2025 19:35:58
Ironic for all the players Slot brought in the one we messed around on seems to be the one that would have made a difference and those that arrived only 1 has produced results at this rate Glasners name will be on our list pretty soon too.

I mean even with Guehi I don't think it changes much
the whole team is out of shape and form. Guehi might help stabilise a bit, but our CB's are constantly exposed by fullbacks, so its probably no big difference if we got him.
If i was guehi i'd be waiting before committing to this iteration of liverpool.

A solid right back would make a world of difference to us, because Mo offers nothing defensively so whoever plays there needs to be more disciplined. Not sure Gakpo gives much more help to the left back but at least he’s a bit mobile and covers back occasionally.
It wasn’t a problem when Mo was at his best because the ball was hardly ever in our half and defenders were terrified of his and Manes pace. Be interesting to see if Connor could cut it with Frimpong playing wide right. Kerkez looks better going forward than sitting, perhaps adapting the system with Guehi in a 3 would work with two up front.
