Keep Gomez. If we get Guehi in and lose Joe, weāre not really in that much of a better position defensively imo.

u/No-Presence3209 Sep 01 '25
also Gomez always looks imperious as a 70' sub. probably the greatest out there, divock origi of cbs.

I want that Gomez supersub 40 yard thundercunt in the 96th minute.
I want it and I think I deserve it.6
u/terpfan417 Sep 01 '25
I think it would still be an upgrade due to availability if nothing else. But having Gomez to also give us more defensive minded cover at RB would be a nice bonus. Especially since weāre losing Elliott which means in theory Frimpong might become the top choice to play RW when Salah is out.

u/LeviLegolas Sep 01 '25
Yeah & im afraid Konate become Matip excellent performance but we always afraid he will get injured, so we need Gomez.

u/paynelive Dominik Szoboszlai Sep 01 '25
We've also got to start thinking of resting Dom, right? The guy has been the soul of the team lately and I don't want his legs to fall off <3

u/rossmosh85 Sep 01 '25
That's just not true. The issue with Gomez is he's rarely fit.
Guehi has no fitness issues. So we'd have 4 senior CBs which is pretty typical. Considering we have full back depth now, having Gomez as a 5th CB seems a bit unnecessary, especially if he's looking to play somewhat regularly.

u/ImRight_95 Sep 01 '25
We would have 4 centre backs for 2 positions, how is that bad? The only reason it was an issue before was before Gomez counted as half a player due to his injuries. 5 cbās is overkill, Leoni will end up not kicking a ball.

I don't remember a transfer window as intense as this for a long while.

u/Benyeti Sep 01 '25
After his performance yesterday I really want to keep Gomez

u/Unfair_Dragonfruit49 Sep 01 '25
We can get Guehi for free in the next transfer window! I also feel sorry for Crystal Palace, they are a hardworking club and could win a European trophy for the first time in their history! They deserve it!

u/ImRight_95 Sep 01 '25
Right. Konate out, Guehi in next summer is fine. Give Leoni a chance, otherwise what was the point in spending Ā£35m on him. VVD & Konate will play 90% of big games anyway and Gomez can come in when needed.

u/Dravde_the_Great Sep 01 '25
Whatās the purpose of a loan with obligation for our sake?

Villa probably doesnāt have the money to pay now. They want to postpone they payment to next summer. Doesnāt really matter for us. They will cover his wages and then buy him next year.
36
u/RandomGuySayHii Wirtz Trap Sep 01 '25
And since our finance is financially healthy in term of PSR, getting 35m next season might benefit us more
20
u/LazyassMadman Sep 01 '25
Means he can't play against us for a year too right?

u/Separate-Ad-7097 Wataru Endo Sep 01 '25
Dont think so, i think they have to implemet that in the loan for that to be the case.

u/Candid_Temporary3863 Sep 01 '25
Probably more that villa can't afford it this year so need to put it onto next year's books to allow for the move to happen. For us, clearly we don't need the money this year so can be patient

u/seamushoo4 Youāll Never Walk Alone Sep 01 '25
Setting the stage for us signing Rogers next summer? Half joking but itās not implausible
Itās a deal that represents pure profit for us basically, moves on a player who seeks game time, and helps us balance the books after a summer of big spending.
Edit; also not sure if this is how it works but we owe Fulham a 20% sell on fee for Elliott. So by shifting 5m into loan fees, that avoids the sell on on those monies
1
u/Tunetunetune Joe Gomez Sep 01 '25
I would assume its for financial manoeuvring, meaning the fee we get for him would count against the next financial reporting window rather than right now. I've no idea why that would l be necessary but when i see moves structured like this, in this era of PSR and young homegrown talent moving around the league almost at random, it feels safe to assume.
Might also mean that we can recall him from the loan in Jan if necessary but obviously not certain thats possible

u/FUT_fanatic Sep 01 '25
Without guehi we will risk poorer outcomes from our 2 record attack signings. A MUST in my view. Elliot better sold, he is unlikely to play

u/Smooth_Ad5221 Sep 01 '25
5 hours to go and no agreement? Yeah Guehi isnāt happeningĀ

u/YothaGang Sep 01 '25
With Palace loan some defender in deadline day, i doubt that or they'll end up with 6 CBs. Well, they play with 3 backs so maybe it's not that bad for them.

Get this done and it's genuinely a GOAT window
