Another unbelievably good purchase if this comes off. Quick, good tackler and ridiculously strong for a 21yo. Very low risk signing as his transfer value will rocket far higher than the reported total fee of £20million.

Brighton value White at £50million after some good loans and 1 season in the Prem. Strongly believe Guehi is a better CB.

In a sense the most pleasing thing about this transfer is the speed it's happening at - assuming it happens of course.

We're getting our business done early but also decisively - it really does feel as this is indeed a plan coming together. Noted that SP spoke of this window being planned for and there's a sharp contrast to most of the business we've done previously.

Other point is I suspect we may be getting Guehi because we have a clear opening for him in the side whereas elsewhere he'd be a fringe player. RH giving Eze a full season makes us look an attractive proposition perhaps. Loads of these young England/English raised players are off to the continent as that's where they get game time. Tomori springs to mind here. It's not a bad model if we can make it work.

Absolutely. Versus any other club in the PL at the minute, we have to be the attractive option for the talented, young player because they have an open road into the first 11. New manager, new players - there's nothing blocking their path if they're as good as they and we think they are.

If this comes off, we've made two of the best signings we've made for years in the space of a week.

26th January 2010 - Enter Administration
2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough
1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds
7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

Plus Sakho is phenomenal and worth every bean we paid... if it were not for the curse of playing for Palace meaning he could barely walk let alone play for most of his time here.

Would like to hear comforting words from the management about improvements to medical/rehab as that and the ground remain the real troubling features for me.

Agree about his ability, pity he became so injury prone. He did seem to lose interest as well. Little doubt it’s time to go. Let’s hope that the injury rate ,and the treatment of, for the squad as a whole improves going forward , it never ceases to amaze how many we pick up in our training regimes.

I have heard it pronounced "Gur He".
