I hope they don't sell Guehi for top dollar. I'd rather they keep him than get a load of cash to spend. He's massively over-rated IMO.

The Eng-er-land media at the Euros have a set narrative about how AMAZING he has been. He really hasn't. He made a huge mistake in the first game (passed it, under no pressure, straight to the feet of a striker on the edge of the box. Because the bloke ballsed it up, doesn't discount the error. And then of course he was most at fault for the goal on Sunday that so nearly saw England dumped out of the competition (losing his header, and then failing to track his man).
Agree.

He may well have been okay for England, but actually that’s against a pretty poor bunch, and the last game he had a bit of a nightmare IMO.

I saw Rutter in a lot of games towards the end of the season, and he's got potential.

A decent signing imho.

I would love him to take a step forward. The trouble is, he never quite seems to to take that step up to the plate. He can do a fetch and carry job, but does he ever boss the midfield?
Didier Deschamps was known as the water carrier, if Jakob can be like him I won’t be complaining

Agree with all the Guehi comments above, I’m glad other football watchers have views independent of the silly media clammer. For me, based on seeing him in the PL too, he comes across as just another reasonable CB with pace to sometimes get him out of trouble, nothing more than that. No passing game.

I definitely didn’t get the feeling going back to a young Sol Campbell in a Goldstone friendly (1994?) or more recently Ake for example, of wow, this CB’s unbeatable. Guehi didn’t stand out.

The price tag is rightfully going to sway people's opinion on whether this would be a good signing, but signing a 22 year old who was ever present in a promotion chasing Championship side with 21 goals & assists last season feels like one with good potential. Pedro had 15 Championship goals and assists in 35 appearances, so a similar output, and was a similar price.

An interesting piece here:

Essentially, three Leeds players including Rutter don’t want to play in the Championship. Leeds will in all probability, lose the trio because of their failure last season. The suggestion is players like Gnonto (he has tried this before) could force their way out.

Given that Varane is likely off, Maguire is in and out of favour and Martinez has had a few injuries, it actually wouldn't surprise me if they did. De Ligt and Guehi as a pairing would be very good indeed (if a touch expensive)
Varane confirmed he was leaving before the end of the season. His contract has now expired and he's a free agent.

Rumours are he's going to Como who are extremely wealthy and have just been promoted to Serie A.

Surely not… Potentially exciting times but we can only have so many attacking options before we get the odd disgruntled player… Can’t we?
