Marc Guehi

[coolhead23 1,147]

This is a strange move if it goes through with buy back and everything ... He is suppose to be the next player coming out of the ranks and we have a big loanee network so why sell him? Makes no sense. 

We have moved into a situation where players in the market have crazy valuation, it is important to hold on our academy players who have potential so that we groom them, move them into first team and maintain some financial sanity. I m sure if Guehi was in another team, his potential would had been hyped up & we would have been talking about getting him for 50-60m

Amazing job by the club. 15-20m for a player who never played in PL. I expect always a few players from the academy in the squad but I guess Guehi is not amongst them. This is why our academy is great, we can get tons of money. Tomori, Guehi, Abraham get us almost 100m. Plus we have many more. Pretty clear Ampadu is not good for us as well, sell him as well. 

So it is always win - win for Chelsea. Even if Billy Gilmour doesn't become what we expect nobody should care, he'll get us profit.

15-20 for an okish player who cost us 1m max in development and training  + sell on clause and matching option is great business.

Hopefully including the sell-on discount. i.e. we still get the sell on percentage even if it is us signing him. Hopefully.

Seems like the club's initial plan was to loan Guehi out again but he wants to play week in week out and hence, the move to Palace.

Cannot blame him. It is all good being 20 and rated by the club, but if you keep going out on loan, you can end up being seen as just a Loan Ranger.

Two young defenders with good potential have left now for about the price we would have to pay for one.

I noticed shortly after posting. Same thing as we did with Ake.

Quality over quantity. Now sell Zouma and buy one top CB.

Is a bit odd, but if players won't sign contracts this is probably the best thing we can do.

Good money, more money towards big players coming in.

20m pounds is incredible job.
