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

[Bozza]

I reckon it might be City you know. They've got the money and they've not spent any.

City feels like the obvious choice - they made a brief attempt at getting Rice before walking away, suggesting they do want some more quality in midfield.

They spent 77 million today on an RB Leipzig defender. Doesn’t mean they won’t be spending more.

Anyway let’s hope the club gets named soon just to watch the Chelsea fan implosion

But City have just splaffed out £77M for Gvardiol so surely wont be them??

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

The bid ‘surpasses £80m.’

Oops, sorry. I copied it from an earlier post on here as someone referred to an article quoting an £80m bid when I remembered the post mentioned it surpassing £80m. I didn’t read the source and don’t subscribe so couldn’t have seen it that way. I will check next time.

You mean the City who have just raked in the prize money from a treble which gets added to their already enormous bank balance and whom also seem to be immune from any sort of FFP related chicanery? That City?

If it's them, they can afford him.

No problem at all - the warning was more for other people. The Athletic are hot on this stuff and I'd rather not be contacted by them again!

Hate to see him go but if we could reach close to the £100 million mark, the proceeds of that and the Mac Allister sale would comfortably cover the money spent this summer and leave some in the pot for the next generation of starlets.

Trust in Tony and the process. As always.

We got enough money Last season to cover the new signings

If it is City can you imagine them with Moises in the middle. A scary prospect.

 

[pasty]

West Ham splashing their Rice cash?

 

[A1X]

Said it before but Man Utd makes a lot of sense, terrible midfield and he's a supporter of them

TBH as long as it's not Chelsea I'm kinda beyond caring, it'd just be funny

 

[Peter Grummit]

Liverpool got run ragged today by Bayern, in losing 3-4, largely because they have no-one who can play effective DM.

Matters not though, City is one club we won’t be competing with on the same level with or without Moises. However he would make a massive difference to mid table Chelsea.

I’d gladly see him go to City over those chavs. I’m sure he would too

 

[banjo]

Please let it not be Chelsea

 

[BBassic]

Usually for me 'ABC' means 'Anyone But City' but in this instance, it's 'Anyone But Chelsea'.

 

[Mancgull]

I do hope that it’s City. Would piss off Chelsea massively and we aren’t in the same orbit as them.
Would also tie in with the rumours that we are after Palmer. There’s obviously a good dialogue with them.
Caicedo in one direction, Palmer in the other direction and money for a great replacement.

 

[Affy]

City would make sense as they’ve just virtually confirmed Gvardiol. Attention turns elsewhere now that’s done. I could see MC doing a good job there especially as they’ve lost Gundogan.

Either that or it is a phantom bid (like city’s for rice) to get the buying club to hurry up and pay up.

 

[Gordon Celery]

I reckon it might be City you know. They've got the money and they've not spent any.
Looks like we better get our bids in for that replacement pronto because he is off now.

Not sure about that. They've just agreed a £78m fee for Gvardiol and also have Rodri, Kovacic, Phillips and Stones vying for "pivot" positions.

 

[The Fits]

Man City - probably the only team with a better DM but lack strength in depth
Arsenal - just signed Rice
Man U - spent a lot of money and have Casemiro but Moises a huge upgrade on Fred and McTomonay.
Liverpool - literally don't have a DM in their squad but seemingly reluctant to pay 50 for Lavia.
Newcastle- can't see it with their CM.
Intriguing.

Just changed my vote to join the 1.2% club who think somewhere else
