Ferdinand Claims Palace ‘Bullied’ Guehi to Stay…
Rio Ferdinand wagged an accusing finger at Crystal Palace for giving Marc Guehi the ‘no-go’ when Liverpool came knocking at the door with a $47 million deadline day offer. It’s as if Palace was guarding Guehi like he was their last cookie at a cookie monster convention! Ferdinand even went so far as to hint that Guehi might have fulfilled his Anfield dreams if he adopted Alexander Isak’s rule-breaking tactics this summer. As it stands, Guehi is on the verge of either a free transfer or going on sale in January at a discounted price.
Ferdinand applauded Isak for his theatrical protest at Newcastle, which some fans say caused more drama than a soap opera finale. By throwing a tantrum that would impress even the most diva rockstar, Isak secured his $174 million transfer. In contrast, Guehi kept his cool, which might have left Palace feeling they could ‘bully’ him to stay. Rio fondly called him a ‘beautiful, young human being’, contrasting Isak’s aggressive exit strategy with Guehi’s diplomacy, like comparing a fuss-free wedding with a Vegas elopement. As things unravel, Guehi stayed put, battling Palace’s affection while dreaming of Liverpool shores.
