Most Newcastle fans are fine, but The Mag represents the annoying ones that aren't. Like the ones that used to plague these forums when Pardew joined us. That article is also delusional and is based on little other than a desperate belief that Palace are a poor club. The Olise sale removed any question about PSR (I don't actually think that was even a question even without the sale of Olise). It also ignores the fact that Parish has a strong record of getting players to sign new deals to protect their value (like Olise and Eze last season and Zaha before them). If we don't sell Guehi is he really going to turn down the opportunity to double his wages and sit out the last two-years of his contract? I just don't see it. Either Newcastle pay up or Guehi will sign a new deal (possibly with a release clause).

Looks like final offer

Agreed

He's at the absolute peak of his value after being in the shop window all Summer and is flavour of the month with the media. If we're serious about our sustainability model and growing long term, we don't act sentimentally and use the funds wisely and mark this sale down as an absolute success story!

I don't really go along with this type of thinking.

The player is an asset and the club cannot simply ignore his monetary value, but in the long term, there is far more value in success on the field.
If we had not sold Olise, I would have been far more comfortable selling Guehi, but our squad can only afford to lose so many stars at one time. It is about reputation and progression.

We can't claim to be ambitious if we sell every quality player we manage to find.

Nope, he made a big mistake in every game he played, the first 2 games he got back and got the block in, I think the third, he gave a professional foul, pretty sure he got a yellow, not the one caused by the poor pass by trippier either, that was the Holland game where he made a mistake not long after, it might have even been what led to the Dutch goal. Tho he's a great player and was our most consistent player at the euros, which wasn't that much of an achievement, as everyone had a pretty poor tournament.

The media were just grasping for positives from England that both benefited Guehi and us.

I hope he goes on to have a hugely successful career tho as he seems like a good guy. If we had Newcastles squad, no way would I sell him, but we don't and the money will strengthen the whole squad.
