Lavia is a poor mans caicedo

Maybe but he's 2 years younger and half the price. 

Could get Adams and Lavia for the price of Caicedo.

@Mod - Best to change the title to Moises Caicedo to ???

Is it really still on? I had given up on it weeks ago!

What did Dan the man do?

When Dan Petrescu was at Sheffield Wed he went on national Tv and stated that he wanted to join Chelsea and play alongside Ruud Gullit. Ledge.

Think maybe Pleat was the Wednesday manager then. Him or Wilkinson.

Got his wish. Great player

Can't we just rent Kante from Saudi for a season till Santos is ready ?  

I don't understand why we need to match their bid. 

If a Saudi club bid 150m we wouldn't need to match, why would we for Liverpool. 

Caicedo has turned them down, we are the top bidders. Stick at 100m.

Why would we now go 15-20m over what Liverpool accepted

yes..we should stick to £100 and not pay £20 more just because Liverpool bid that much..

Or get Caicedo, Lavia and Adams. Loan Ugo to Brighton and Adams to the scouse. No options to buy. 😅

Mental price if comparing to the Kane sale!

Cue the Kane hate….

Looks like our recruitment team are full of inexperienced lads who are panicking now that we have a rival for his signature.

Or even better. Keep Ugo; sell Adams for £50m to Brighton and offer Gallagher to Pool for £75 since they insist on paying stupid money. Hell, we can even put in Lukaku for a combined £111m to Pool just to be nice.

Is there any actual news?

Not really. Latest news is that Caicedo has started following Chelsea on Instagram - maybe we can use that in the negotiation? 🫠

Bizarre post. Do you really think Brighton care either way about Chelsea? Brighton didn't want to sell unless they got their valuation which was at 'an offer we cant refuse' level. There's no rivalry, its just business. If you want to create one with Brighton on your own then knock yourself out but you really are on your own!

Yes, I actually do.

We used to have a good relationship with them and we let them have both Lamptey and Gilmour for peanuts. But I think us taking Potter and the backroom staff upset that although they are laughing as they now have a much better coach. But that new coach, as good as he is, and I do admire him, got a bee in his bonnet when he started talking up Colwill staying with them and when that didn't happen, I would imagime Chelsea was the last club he wanted one of his star player to end up. They would have sold to anyone rather than us. Yes, IF we had offered silly money as Liverpool have done, they might have had no option. Might not be a rivalry as that has to work both ways and I and most CFC supporters couldn't give a toss about a small (albeit well run) club like Brighton,  but they (and their fans) really hate us.

We've somehow found a life line. 

Absolutely insane if we manage to piss about like we've had these past 3 months.

GET THIS OVER THE LINE.

You're not proper Chels then hi

He seems to be following Arsenal and Manchester City too (from the Prem and no Brighton), among Barca, Real Madrid and PSG.

But if he's deliberately just followed us and wasn't already, then he's making a point of course.

He's two bob mate

At this point I don't care what we pay 🤣.

We need to equal Liverpool's bid, right? Because that's the amount Brighton settled on with Pool. Too naive?

I still feel, and it's one of those that it really wouldn't surprise me, if Klopp doesn't have a great start to this campaign he may well be out the door at Liverpool. I still think the Bayern relationship with Tuchel is tepid and it seems that Bayern are on the fringe of backroom madness lately, whcih we have not seen before.

I could easily see Klopp ending up at Bayern following some form of boardroom meltdown, and then hey ho, i could very easily see de Zerbi as the new Liverpool manager.

And Tuchel to the first club that sacks its manager, even if it's Accrington Stanley.

 

 

Just seen a 2020 report where Lampard wanted Caicedo for 4.5m. 

Said it a while back I think Lampard is a clown of a manager but his undoubtably has an eye for talent and deserves Cech's former role.
