Tell PSG Gueye's price is the same as Doucoure's price, and if we get a deal with Watford agreed we'll release Gueye as soon as the ink is dry on the contract. They can call on all of their contacts to get Doucoure's agent to get him out of there now.

PSG went for Doucoure first but was quoted £70mil so turned to Gueye now.

If that was possible they would have just signed Doucoure themselves.
 

Can't blame Gana for wanting out, he's on a sinking ship and he's just been offered a lifeboat.

£25-30m if we can get it is a good business, but we'll certainly be weaker for it. McCarthy, Schneiderlin or Davies as replacements? They simply won't do. We need another centre midfield player in regardless of whether Gana stays or goes, if he bolts and we have to draw his replacement from that trio of chumps, things will get a lot worse before they get better.
 

Getting really tired of the scaremongering about how we can't survive without Gueye, or how things are gonna be so much worse without him, because, you know, the stats.

Ask a lot of blues who were around in the 80's and majority will tell you that Gary Lineker, despite the admittedly impressive achievement of scoring 40 goals in a season, was actually detrimental to the style of play of a team that won League titles either side of the year he was here.

If Gueye leaves, we may not have 1 player who makes as many tackles as him, the value of which I believe is massively overstated anyway, but hopefully, that responsibility will be distributed amongst what will surely he a more balanced and disciplined side. I mean, we've been pretty much terrible while he's been here, it's not like we've seen some massive upturn in fortunes or even performances since he arrived. As a matter of fact, probably our best period during his stay was when he was in Africa.

If we can get anywhere close to £30m for this absolute myth, we will massively better off, both short term and long term.

Now if only Brands could convince PSG that him and Gylfi really work better as a pair... Say £100m for the 2.
