Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

[Pete3206]

Whatever the terms of this deal are, we've had Palace's pants down.

Palace fans think he's going to be supplying crosses for the Wolves donkey they're trying to sign.

I've never seen him beat a man and deliver a single cross.

Harsh. He’s kicked a few out for throw-ins on the other side of the pitch. It’s all good anyway. Even if, against the odds, he comes good, somebody else will be paying him and then we can have him back.

[Smithy]

I'd love to know the value in the option to buy.  If it's within 25% of what we paid I'll be delighted (and very surprised!)

Emery makes his mind quickly on a player doesn't he.

Took me one game 😂

Yep, and me
But then we have a good eye for a player which doesn’t get recognised enough on here

[Gerrin]

Athletic reporting it. Loan with option to buy. He'll be back in the summer.

I'm baffled by all these loans, with option to buy signings, it's hard to imagine many will actually happen. Plus it's a big risk if the player gets injured whilst on loan.

[PaulTheVillan]

Good move for everyone involved. He just doesn’t seem to fit here. Wish him well.

[Vegas]

Does this create room for another centre mid loanee?

[lovejoy]

The buy option would need to at a sensible level for us to avoid crystallising a loss. €30m over 5 years means hes on our books at €24m in the summer - say £20m. I guess thats our starting point.

We could try Garcia further advanced tonight I suppose.

Reported as being the same as we paid for him.

So let's hope he finds a bit of form.

Unwise given he’s injured.

[rob_bridge]

He's done OK which is no longer anywhere near good enough to where we are now.

Wish him well - Palace seem to be in panic mode mind.

Assume Mateta is off if they are signing Guessand and LArsen

It doesn't really help the "selling" club at all, but I can see why buying clubs want them.  If he goes there, and does well, they know we're not going to try and pull their pants down on the price in the summer.  Similarly, they can just hand him back in the summer.

Options to buy actually mean very little, beyond setting a ceiling on any potential selling price.

[N'ZMAV]

Palace are pretty dumb if they're taking Guessand - but hey ho, I'll start the car.

Good news short term...however, barring a miracle he will be back.
