Newcastle United fans explode at Crystal Palace after confirmed Marc Guehi twist

Newcastle United fans have been left raging at Crystal Palace after the latest twist in their never-ending chase to sign Marc Guehi.

The centre-back started and captained Palace in their 4-0 Carabao Cup victory against Norwich City, meaning he will be cup-tied should he move to St James’ Park.

His involvement in the game – in which he played the full 90 minutes – also hints that there is still no imminent deal for his move despite reports elsewhere.

Football Insider revealed on 28 August that Newcastle have compiled a shortlist of alternatives to Guehi, although they are still pushing to sign the England international.

Negotiations between the two clubs have been dragging on for weeks, with Palace sticking firmly to their valuation which the Magpies are yet to reach.

After the sale of Joachim Andersen, Palace have become even more reluctant to let their star man leave so late in the transfer window.

Now, Newcastle fans are expressing their frustration at a transfer saga which has dragged on for far too long, with anger aimed both at Palace and their own club.

Newcastle United fans rage after Marc Guehi transfer twist emerges

Signing a new centre-back has been a priority for the Magpies this summer due to concerns surrounding depth an injuries in the position, with Guehi their top target.

Those issues were made clear by Eddie Howe starting Emil Krafth in the middle of his defence during the 1-1 Premier League draw with Bournemouth.

However, fans are now insisting they should walk away from any deal for the Palace man given the way they have been frustrated in negotiations.

Taking to social media, many supporters suggested Palace are “making us look like mugs”, labelling the negotiations “a disgrace” and a “complete failure.”

Absolute shambles that we've let him play, clearly isn't close to being signed so we're about to end the window without a single first team signing, a total disgrace and complete failure of the club https://t.co/4zBBXqBnu3— Cjh (@cjhhhh21) August 27, 2024

Wasted a whole summer on a bloke who isn’t coming and at best is now cup tied if he does. And you still have people on here who’ll call you out for calling it a disgrace. #NUFC https://t.co/Dq52Um2jrq— LC (@NUFCLC) August 27, 2024

Realistically a cannot see the Marc Guehi deal happening. Think the toon have been played along by palace. What’s disappointing is they’ve left it so late to find an alternative. What will probably confirm this is if Guehi is involved in tonight’s game #NUFC— Terry Martin (@T_martin_11) August 27, 2024

We’ve had two negotiations with Palace this year. Firstly Freedman took us to the wire as our DoF then just walked away and Guehi/Parish have had us dancing for weeks without any intentions of completing a transfer.#NUFC look like right mugs if I’m honest ????‍♂️— Les Cash (@cashleslie940) August 27, 2024

Can’t be close at all for Guehi. He would never have played last night if we were. Palace are making us look like mugs especially if we are still in for him. £70m for a cup tied player. Need to walk away. 3 more days then I might have to join the glass half empty brigade #NUFC— Big G (@EastStandG) August 28, 2024

I’d honestly walk away from this Guehi deal. Palace treating us like absolute mugs starting him tonight. #NUFC— Toon Polls (@ToonPolls) August 27, 2024

We have to walk away from the Guehi deal now. Probably the most amateurish transfer saga I've ever known #nufc— Peter Hall (@PeteToonToon2) August 27, 2024

Marc guehi is involved in today’s match for Crystal Palace, the window is an absolute disaster!

Probably means that nothing is that close to happening, it will be interesting to see what the marc guehi does at the end of the game or if he gets subbed off.#nufc pic.twitter.com/MT4Zn476Ha— Nufc centre (@CentreNufc) August 27, 2024

If Guehi plays for Palace tonight then we don’t need any media outlet or any transfer guru on here to tell us the Guehi deal is off. It’s pretty self-explanatory he’s not coming. #nufc— ???? Jonny ???? (@J72NNY) August 27, 2024

Questions needs to be asked about Paul Mitchell and Darren Eales. Why have they allowed this Marc Guehi saga to drag on for weeks? He is now cup tied so this is a major fail on those 2. Even Brighton are showing us up in making some very shrewd signings. #NUFC— ᠻ᥅ꪖꪀᛕ꠸ꫀ (@Frankie__09) August 27, 2024

In other news, two Magpies deals have “collapsed”, says expert.
