Shearer’s Verdict: Guehi Deserved Better…
Newcastle’s legendary striker Alan Shearer has praised Marc Guehi for staying classy during his transfer saga, describing him as the ‘ultimate professional.’ Meanwhile, he humorously notes it ‘doesn’t seem right’ that Guehi’s Liverpool move collapsed while Alexander Isak stormed off to Anfield like a cat suddenly remembering it has a prior engagement with a laser pointer. Despite Palace desperately not delivering Guehi’s replacement from Brighton, Liverpool was already ready with pen and paper for signing him!
Poor Marc Guehi was all set for his Liverpool debut, even recording a farewell video, only to find out the hard way that Palace’s chairman metaphorically put the pen back in his pocket. Meanwhile, Shearer criticized Isak and Wissa’s rebellious tactics as a ‘bad look for football,’ reminiscent of toddlers negotiating over a shared ice cream. Liverpool had an agreement ready for Guehi, but Palace pulled a last-minute Houdini act, leaving them to search for that dream move at the season’s end.
