[Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

I dont want to sell him.

There. I've said it. Mbappe money or f*** off is my position now.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Remind him that God doesn't like cheats.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Have we heard what Andy Jacobs thinks about all this yet?

I think I preferred his 'Football Rumours' scrapes. At least we could dismiss it as crap straight away. 90% of the stuff from 'credible sources' is still just as crap but folk keep quoting it as fact.

[Uh_huh_him]

I understand and agree, broadly speaking, but Chelsea won't always be a basket case.

Can totally understand a young player thinking they're the better bet long term, despite the fact they're a bang average mid table Premier League team and we're going on a European tour.

I'd love us to become a mainstay in the top 10, challenging for Europe every season. But we might not be. And Chelsea almost certainly will be.

Though wouldn't it be marvelous if they were the first of the traditional Big Six to lose their way and we take their spot. That'd be nice.

Moving to Chelsea is certainly a better long term bet than us, but at this moment in time, Chelsea is not the best career choice for a world-class player.

Chelsea won't always be a basket case, but the idea that they will retain a 3rd/4th best in the league is up for debate.

Newcastle's backing and the managerial improvements at United and Arsenal, currently puts them competing with Liverpool/Spurs for 5th best.
They are in the middle of a squad overhaul and have picked a manager who has never really achieved anything of note.

It has taken Arsenal 6 seasons to get back into the Champions League, in an arguably less competitive field.
Moises can't afford to be stuck at a club who may not play in the UCL until he nears the end of his contract.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Is it?

If Colwill is off the table then yes it is.

We have been very clear about it.
If Chelsea want to help us improve, by selling us a player they don't need, with a high ceiling, we will help them.
If the deal is just about weakening us and strengthening them, then they need to pay through the nose.

Moises did not look like a player who wants away in last night‘s performance. We will miss him big time if he goes.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Widely reported on non-tabloid sites eg Athletic, Telegraph, Guardian as

“…. more than £100m …” the repeated expression.

I'm just making the point that to my knowledge, we've never set a price for any player under Tony Bloom.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

If Colwill is off the table then yes it is.

We have been very clear about it.

No we haven't. The press has been very consistent in saying that's the price, but we don't set prices for players.

Talksport now picking up some Chelsea Tw*tter tw*t's hopeful punt that Moises (or his agent) are asking Brighton to lower their price demands. The unsettling game has started.

Is it safe to assume that the agent has spoken to Chelsea first about possibly increasing their bid and received the cold shoulder?

I imagine a request to lower the asking price will receive similar response from us.

Deal off then?

All
Part of the plan no doubt . Wouldn’t surprise me if Chelsea and the agent have timescales on when to make moves

Next steps is moises and agent making noises similar to jan . Bit more delay then £85m offer comes in and he’s gone .

Still sure he is off so the delay just unhelpful all round

Hope I’m wrong obvs

I think we'll be okay if he goes. I think we'll be absolutely brilliant if he stays.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Moises did not look like a player who wants away in last night‘s performance. We will miss him big time if he goes.

Or he looked like a player who wanted to impress his suitors big time

Started? That's what it's been all summer.

 

[GT49er]

Started? That's what it's been all summer.

No, that's the first 'report' I've heard that (Chelsea hope) Caicedo and his team are making noises.

 

[WATFORD zero]

No, that's the forst 'report' I've heard that (Chelsea hope) Caicedo and his team are making noises.

'According to reports' Moisés and his team have been making these noises about wanting the deal from the first day of the window. 'According to reports'

 

[Motogull]

I hope Chelsea make a bid for Olise. You can see a mile off Beaky trying to be the big man and responding with 'he's yours for £110m plus Gallagher'. The Chelsea fans will will lose it big time.

I genuinely hope that Palace are as resolute if that happens. Let Chelsea stew in the mess they made by spending 500m last season and still not having a coherent team.

I fear however that they have nowhere like the same financial stability that we current have after selling over 250m worth of players over the last 2 seasons and this summer.
