Palace fear £50k-a-week player could leave tomorrow

Posted by

It’s been a quiet window for Steve Parish and Roy Hodgson at Crystal Palace.

Aside from being able to keep Michael Olise from Chelsea’s clutches and seeing Wilfried Zaha turn down their offer to make him the best paid Palace player in history, not an awful lot has been happening down at Selhurst Park.

There have been the odd comings and goings of course, but there’s been no real drama in south London and that’ll suit Hodgson just fine.

With much the same squad as he has now, the former England manager saw his Eagles soar in the final third of the 2022/23 season, after they’d appeared to stagnate under former manager, Patrick Vieira.

So far in this campaign, Palace have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three games and currently sit in 11th position on four points.

With one day still left of the transfer window, there is time to bring some new blood into the club, but equally players could be poached at the last minute.

According to the Evening Standard, the club are bracing themselves for an approach for £50,000 per week (via Capology) star, Marc Guehi.

Along with Eberechi Eze, Guehi has been the subject of transfer interest during the current window but nothing has transpired as of now.

Palace need that status quo to remain because if they lose anyone at this late stage, they’re left with hardly any time at all to find a suitable replacement.

  1. thanks for posting Jason, but it doesn’t strike me as there being much ‘news’ here so I’d have to slightly question your efforts (and motivation)… you see, the headline is a bit misleading as it’s not really clear how Palace could ‘fear’ the player in question leaving tomorrow when that player is currently under contract… so maybe we just tweak the headline to say ‘Palace decide which contracted players leave or don’t leave tomorrow’… it wouldn’t be half as ‘newsworthy’ as your article, but it would at least keep things factual…

    1. Well said Sean, they make it sound like the club doesn’t have a say. They prepare horoscopes and Google what’s going on and then spin the sensationalism. If you looked at all their report Doucoure is off to Liverpool, Guehi is off to Chelsea or Tottenham, Eze is off to the Two same clubs and Andersen is off to Newcastle or Brentford so if they are so well informed….how comes none of them know including Steve and Roy. Poor poor pig backing Journalism.
