Tbh my gut feeling is that he simply chose City over us. There were several clubs, including us, willing to pay roughly the same wages, but City were the only ones to make a specific bid. Suggests to me that his agent gauged interest and he made his choice.

Fixed that for you, mate

Don't know what our transfer strategy is this window, but doing nothing might as well just send a big signal up that Slot will be kicked to the curb, so they can back the new manager in the summer.

We've got 3 fit CBs, 2 fit RBs and 2 of those people are Joe Gomez who might as well be made of toothpicks.
Utter insanity
 
If city get Guehi, and it looks like another big offer is coming in for him, we might as well forget competing for the Premier League for a while as Arsenal and City will be far ahead of us in terms of the quality of their squad. As stated already, a failure to shore up the obvious defensive holes is possibly an admission that FSG do not see Slot as a long term solution

I don't get why we aren't just going straight back in for Guehi personally.

4 months ago we had agreed that £35m fee and he was doing his interviews, we're now even lighter at CB with Leoni's injury - make a new offer and take it from there, he clearly wanted to be a Liverpool player.
Possibly the Elliott money as that hasn’t gone as expected ?

Guehi going to City. All agreed by the sounds of it

£20m as well. One-sixth of what we paid for Isak. Less than a fifth of what we paid for Wirtz. And that **** Glasner, who stopped us getting him in the first place, is leaving Palace at the end of the season - possibly to replace Pep? But Edwards and Hughes are such geniuses, though. :emoticon-0112-wonde

considering you have spent years moaning about FSG's penny pinching it's a bit of a chhek when they do splash out :bandit:

On the fees splashed on Isak and Wirtz (though Isak in particular) i've made my views abundantly clear on that plus how damaging that window was to our squad depth.

I said back in August that spending that money on Isak was ludicrous, and that we could have had Guehi and Semenyo for that amount with £30m left over, so I'm not being wise after the event, and nor are many others who made the same point at the time. But we all feared as well that spending that money in the summer, though it was a fraction of what City's and Arsenal's net spend has been for the calendar year, would usher in another few years of austerity, and here we see that it will.

We had £35m for Guehi in August, and now we don't have £20m. Calamitous mismanagement. But don't worry - Slot can play Gravenberch, Endo, and even Gakpo at CB, apparently. Maybe even Isak - if he ever gets fit. We can probably throw Wirtz in at right back as well. All is good. :emoticon-0108-speec

You won't hear me moaning about spending on Wirtz; top quality players that will be seen as a bargain signing in years to come. Isak however, wasn't needed at all

Marc Guehi is to join Manchester city for £20m after Liverpool cooled interest.​

This is a terrible outcome for us, really terrible. Why were we not back in for him? I see that €$$T Glasner has jumped ship now as well. It was he who blocked Guehi transfer in the Summer. I am really fuming
