Ferdinand Claims Palace ‘Bullied’ Guehi…
Rio Ferdinand, ex-Manchester United defender, has sensationally claimed that Crystal Palace used tactics worthy of a schoolyard bully to keep Marc Guehi from a deadline day switch to Liverpool. On a day hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna, Liverpool managed to sign Alexander Isak for a jaw-dropping $167 million, but Guehi’s $47 million move fizzled like a soda left open overnight. Palace’s wild goose chase for an alternative dashed his hopes. Ferdinand accuses Palace of saying, ‘Nope, you’re not leaving!’ like a parent denying candy to a hyperactive toddler.
This particular transfer window was wilder than a cat on catnip, with the Premier League spending a staggering $4.15 billion on player moves. Isak, with moves smoother than a cool jazz playlist, crafted a dedicated social media campaign to leave Newcastle and join Liverpool. Meanwhile, Guehi’s gentlemanly ways may have factored into his dream staying firmly locked in the cupboard. Ferdinand fondly talks of Guehi’s demeanor, yet suggests Palace played naughty tricks to keep him. Now, with his contract expiring soon, Guehi can strut towards his future plans. Palace might end up regretting more than a goat in a jumping contest!
