Crystal Palace blocks Guehi’s last-minute move…
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish had an intense chat with Marc Guehi and his family after he slammed the brakes on the defender’s late transfer to Liverpool. Imagine stopping a $47 million deal mid-medical; it’s like halting a rollercoaster ride just as you’re about to hit the loop! Parish said ‘no-go’ on the buzzer, while manager Oliver Glasner hinted he’d pack his bags and become a professional juggler if Guehi was sold. Liverpool submitted that deal sheet faster than kids submit homework they forgot, but alas, frustration brewed as explanations unfolded.
Guehi was left contemplating leaving his post as team captain, which is akin to a reluctant superhero hanging up his cape. Oliver Glasner, the Austrian mastermind, argued that no defender debuted in Marc’s cape and thigh-high boots by preseason. Although Jaydee Canvot was signed, he’s more like an apprentice wizard than a full magician! Nevertheless, juicy gossip spreads that Liverpool’s magic wand might wave again in January or next summer. Meanwhile, the farewell video for Guehi waits patiently like an award speech for an Oscar that was never won. His England duties might just be a warm-up for when he faces his Palace mates.
