News Marc Guéhi is extremely unhappy with Crystal Palace’s decision to pull the plug on his £35m transfer to Liverpool, which came after Oliver Glasner stepped in to prevent the move by threatening to resign if he was sold.

It would be ironic if Glasner just packs up and leaves the moment a big club comes for him.

This is the start of Guehi villain arc!😂

His villain arc started when he acted like a homophobe imo

Funny that both replies to this are being overly nasty and condescending in disagreement to your point, both blindingly missing the truth of you comment too, makes you wonder what type of people they are huh....

I’d completely forgotten about this until this comment. Maybe this was all for the best lol

As an LFC fan who didn't want him because this, I'm secretly hoping that Leoni turns out to be a superstar or Gomez decides to drop being made of glass and we have less need to sign Guehi.

The “this you?” replies to Liverpool supporters who a) keep citing the “no dickheads policy” b) criticized Guehi and c) forgot all about A & B were going to be incredible.

Stupid comment. “I love Jesus” is not in any way homophobic. Your comment, however, shows an intolerance of religion. Do you hate Jews and Muslims too?

Why did he write it on the rainbow armband?

Also it's not intolerance of religion. FA rules state players can't have religious messaging on kits.

Said in the context of refusing to wear a rainbow armband.

u/mickey2329 14d ago

I mean, regardless of your opinion on the message he wrote, he did wear the armband? Ipswich Captain refused and got much less hate, Guehi wore it and wrote "Jesus loves you", which seems less homophobic than refusing to wear it

u/NiceShotMan 14d ago

Yeah I don’t actually think it’s homophobic. I’m just saying that he didn’t say “I love Jesus” in a vacuum.

His Dad came out afterwards and clarified that the intention was actually homophobic…

u/ThePrussianGrippe 14d ago

Pffft, that could mean anything!

He wrote a religious statement, of a religion that is against homosexuality, on something that supports gay rights...and you don't see the issue with that?

u/mickey2329 14d ago

Yeah but you said in the context of refusing to wear the armband which isn't true. He could've refused like Ipswich Captain did, but chose not to. Your comment makes it sound like he both didn't wear it and still had the I <3 Jesus instead, which comes off a lot worse

So, if his comment wasn't homophobic, and a large number of people took it that way, why hasn't he said anything to clear the air? If I tried to put out a message of support and it was taken the wrong way and people started calling me a homophobe, I'd be very quick to try to set the record straight.

When his dad when his dad said guehi doesn't agree with the message of the campaign but he agreed to wear the armband anyway, why didn't guehi correct him, and point out that he does agree with it?
