I'd prefer Neves out of the three

I don't think this is the case. At his stage of the career, he will be seriously considering playing week in and week out for Palace to make a case for the national team like Guehi who left when he was 20 or 21

Let's see what they really think of "Won't sign a CB because it blocks Josh's pathway"

How much is this in lost revenues? Win, lose or draw BlueCo out

Might help that Napoli are outside qualification places and need to win that game. Which will mean there will be spaces to exploit

If Jacquet is signed and loaned to Rennes till the summer, what's the signing going to be at CB? Senesi? Have a hard time believing they'll reintegrate Disasi and leave the squad at that - especially with Colwill only coming back late in the season if at all

Do this and sign Senesi.

I doubt Disasi is going to be thrown in. Rosenior mentioned they need to build up his fitness

Yildiz was the player I hoped we'd sign in the summer for the left side

Every goalkeeper makes mistakes. And I recall in that game vs Arsenal he also made a great save from Merino + a great save to keep the game level yesterday.. You're quick to bump this thread after one game where he wasn't great after weeks. But he has the second highest clean sheets and save % in the league (only Raya is ahead) with a mid-table defence in front of him. Agree with the need to upgrade but he's actually having a solid season so far.

+ a wave of flu spread within the squad/coaching staff. Few players were down and few who played were not 100%

Was the only game apart from the early sending off vs ManU He is tied now for highest clean sheets in the league this season and highest save % too

Don't think so this season. Has been mostly good with a bad backline

Time to bump this thread

Our first offer is £43m and Rennes are asking for £56m. Think this deal might happen.

All of them would kick up a fuss if Guehi is signed and is on 50-100k more pw. You think they are worth between 200 and 250 but if the club signs Guehi for 300 that won't matter and they'll be asking for a raise or leave the club. A 6-7 year deal on 300k pw wages is a 100m dent on wages alone btw. I can understand why we are not in the Guehi fight. Looks like it will be Jacquet from Rennes anyway

Is his technique good? Lot of the time the metrics and data show up athletic defenders but mostly without technique or awareness - like Disasi

Do people even believe these briefs? Arsenal signed 2 CBs in that time who would both walk into our XI

I could understand the interest in Dean Huijsen in the summer but BlueCo have lost the plot since we didn't sign him. Quite unbelievable they think another French youngster is what this squad needs.

I agree we need to upgrade and I cannot believe he is the keeper for the 3rd season running now But he has the second highest clean-sheets this season and the stat about most errors leading to goals is a small comparison pool - Only few GKs have been starting week in and week out for last 2 seasons because teams like City, West Ham, Bournemouth, Brentford and United changed keepers and few others didn't play regularly all the time (Pope, Alisson, Sels) Honestly, he is having a purple patch with a very poor defense.

You can't compare Chelsea and City. Their revenue is much more + they're higher in the table. We sign Guehi for that wage, 4 of our top players will want raises or will want to leave. Marmoush is apparently on the way out and Reijnders and Cherki haven't been regular starters. Absolutely agree we need to buy CB but it doesn't have to be Guehi for stupid money. There will be lot of options - like Hincapie in the summer and Senesi or Van de Ven who wants to leave Spurs. Or one of the high rated young CBs like Ordonez.

I said majority are average. Only Donnarumma has actually settled in as a clear first choice player. You're right that players aren't daft. Why would Guehi accept 200-250k pw at Chelsea when City is coming in with a higher offer and have injuries at LCB to cover? We can sign a better CB with the same overhead costs of Guehi - 20m transfer fee and 300k wages (70-80m on a 5 year contract) - without blowing our wage structure. We can go for Murillo for example.

These briefs to the media are not helping Rosenior's image 😁

City have signed Khusanov, Victor Reis, Nico González, Marmoush, Ait Nouri, Reijnders, Cherki, Trafford, Donnarumma, Semenyo, and now Guehi That's a whole XI of players in the last one year. And a majority of them are average.
