On October 12, Parish, the chairman of the Premier League team Crystal Palace, visited the talkSPORT studio and revealed the reason why he refused to sell Guey to Liverpool at the last moment of this summer window.

The Crystal Palace chairman said: "This is a difficult decision. Things are never absolutely right or wrong. I made the decision based on the advice I received and my own judgment: keeping Guey will make us perform better in the new season."

"We do not make judgments based on guesswork. Through rational analysis, considering the value of the Premier League ranking, and the first time in the team's history to participate in the UEFA Europa League, this is indeed a good opportunity to keep Guey."

"If we are only tenth in the Premier League. The struggle between first place and 14th place, and that's the difference between whether or not to keep Guei, then we would probably say: OK, let's take the money (sell Guei). "

"But considering participating in the UEFA Europa League this season and the goal of hitting the top half of the league, we think it is a wise move to keep Guei. If Gueye can play the full season at Crystal Palace, we won't even have to look for his replacement mid-season. ”
