Firstly, who gives a s*** what Geordies think.

If you were to sell players on the basis that they might get injured, then you might as well sell the whole squad now, just in case.
I'm sure you will see Guhei move on if Newcastle come in with a much higher offer. Then you will be happy, and we will sign someone else who is not as good.

If Guehi stays, I'm sure he will continue to play well for Palace because he will want to sustain his reputation.

Well said, the Geordies are chancing their arm with their deep pockets but want to pay 2021 prices, White was sold to the Gunners for 50m in 2021 and for once SP is right if the they want top talent then they have to pay top prices. In other words pay up or shut up!

I'm assuming nothing unlike yourself, stamping your foot and saying he has signed a contract so he must honor it. This indicates YOU assume he wants to leave. I am simply saying it is very naive to think you can force a player to stay just because he has a contract. Realistically it cant be done,

But we don't want to risk our season falling off a 'Cliff'.

A contract is binding. If a club feels it's in their best interests to sell a player, then that is what they will do. They are under no obligation to do so.
In the rare instance where a player refuses to play or train to force a move, he can be fined or be relegated to the reserves, or even banished from the club's premises altogether. He would then be liable for a claim of compensation for breach of contract. In that situation, the club might either hold him to his contract or sell him to ensure a financial return.

Those are the facts.

In the case of Guehi, there is no indication that he would be a problem were a move not to materialise.
