United have made an approach to CP for Mark Guehi, exploring details of a deal structure. 2 journos confirmed and also liverpool fanzine.

Oh now there’s a surprise, we are looking for a CB…. Saturday reinforced RA thoughts that we are awful at CB…. and it’s a major concern within…… it will upset the Deligt and Martinez fan zone on here!

German, it is possible to think some players are good and also think another player might be better. Living in a black or white world can't be much fun.

Thought I read that Geuhi had his heart set on Liverpool and was going to join on a free next year.

Dont rate Guehi any better than De Ligt or Martinez.

Very good player but Liverpool-bound surely.

Would be a very good buy for the price reported. I think palace will be keen to get him moved on this summer which could definitely work in our favor. If he moves to Liverpool now, he would not be a guaranteed starter, which he’ll likely be keen to avoid during a World Cup year. Of course, this could just be Palace trying to get Liverpool to speed things up a bit, but as I mentioned a few days ago, he’d be a big improvement on what we have at a reasonable price.

The way I see it is that Steve Parish has come out and send Guhei can leave if a good offer comes in. So then he’s essentially available why wouldn’t United have a sniff OR once again, link with United, get that price up so they get top price for him. Not sure Germans inside factual knowledge should be admired on this like claims. Maybe more common sense.

I don't think anyone said we didn't need a new CB, I think most people suggested that it was unlikely we would get one this summer with heavy investment needed in the forward line, midfield and in goal all being of higher priority than at CB.

The club as activated Maguire's one year option to make sure they still had depth in defence.

Marc Guehi would be a great signing if we could pull it off. Good age, a leader, EPL proven, and capable of playing in all three positions in the three man defence.

I still doubt we'll sign him or any CB this summer. I can only imagine if we do then it is at the expense of another position like keeper or midfield and rather than go for a 2nd or 3rd choice option in goal or midfield the club would rather get a first choice option in another position of need, especially if they think they can get their first choice next summer.

Maybe the club have been given a firm "no chance" this summer on Baleba, but a willingness to do the deal next summer. So the choice is sign someone else in midfield and give up on their clear first choice just to get someone in this summer, or wait until next summer for Baleba. If they are confident they will sign Baleba next summer then maybe waiting for him makes sense. In which case then maybe look at a CB this year instead of next summer.

If Baleba has another good season he will probably end up costing more next summer than he would now. If he has a bad season, we may end up moving onto other targets anyway.

Nothing like covering all eventualities Shappy! I don’t think we sign a first choice keeper this season, mainly because no one will want Onana and on basis he can’t be this bad all the time… I said all along we will sign a decent experienced CB with pace and we will, because me have no one who fits that criteria at the moment and he’ll we need it.

Hasn’t he already agreed personal terms with Liverpool and reports tonight that a fee has been agreed between the two clubs.
