Guehi has gone to City. My guess is also that he turned down Liverpool, potentially due to their place in the table.

20m is a steal so I assume this is why Arsenal were linked, as Palace were probably hoping for more. Eds, do selling clubs actively try to pull stunts like faking interest in the press, or is it just the usual rumour mill in action? I can just imagine Ed002 telling me I'm an idiot, bless him.

{Ed001's Note - no mate, Guehi contacted Liverpool to ask them to complete the transfer that failed in the summer. Liverpool decided not, for some insane reason, to sign him even though they are desperate for a centre-back. Palace were hoping to start a bidding war for him, but Citeh made sure that they offered him wages that no one else would come close to, so no one else would step in. But yes, Palace did brief press.}

Got it, thanks Ed001. That is a truly insane decision from Liverpool. Guehi is a decade younger than van Dijk and at this stage in his career arguably the better player. No comment on Konate, nothing more needs saying. What could possibly be the reason? FFP? Surely they rate him, given they were in for him during the summer?

{Ed001's Note - I can only think that he was a Slot choice and so they don't want to sign him as he is highly unlikely to be here much longer. Personally I would have thought it was worth it anyway, but there you go. He is right footed and better than Konate (well so is me nan and she has been dead nearly 20 years now).}

Love the summing up of Konate Ed ??.

{Ed001's Note - thanks. I went easy on him.}
