Gary Neville reckons Marc Guehi was right not to kick up a fuss to force a move to Liverpool and insists the centre back's exemplary conduct will serve him well moving forward.

This contrasted with the approach of players such as Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa, who both actively and aggressively pushed for moves away from Newcastle and Brentford - and got them.

Many fans and pundits argued that Guehi's professionalism may have prevented him from completing the move, claiming he should have been more assertive in the same way others had been.



Neville, however, firmly disagrees with that perspective, praising Guehi for his mature approach and suggesting it is the best path forward.

"There was narrative that was like you're better off being Alexander Isak because you'll get your move, than being Marc Guehi who doesn't," Neville said on the Stick to Football podcast.

You can just tell he's a really good guy."

When ITV asked Guehi about how the past few days had been, he responded cheerfully: "It's been great!" Later, after being questioned on whether integrating with the national team was difficult "after what happened," Guehi answered: "It's always easy coming here, such a good group of players, good group of staff.

[centre-back] is the one area that could come back and blow up in their face because they haven't really got [quality cover].

"What Guehi was giving Liverpool was competition at centre-back.

Guehi, by contrast, has remained steadfastly professional - a decision which could ultimately cost Liverpool.

That said, if Liverpool manage to sign him as a free agent next year, the club can be assured they are bringing in a player of exceptional character - a factor that may prove invaluable on and off the pitch, and well worth waiting for.
