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

[WATFORD zero]

Thing is, it's not Chelsea anymore - they've made god knows how many bids, been knocked back and are now looking at other options (as well as having purchased Ugochukwu).

This is either Albion or an actual bid from a mysterious unnamed club.

Nothing to do with Chelsea Football Club.

Does this mean that you will now f*** back off to a Chelsea forum then

 

[sparkie]

But how would the journalist know? Ie what was the source of the info?

No idea. He hasn't revealed his SAUCE.

Cashworth at Newcastle for all I know.

Guess what, he is the main source of Albion info (other than NSC of course ) and has covered us for decades. The club of course! Don’t think he publishes any news of consequence without their approval.

I’m unsure what you mean. I know it’s not Chelsea that have put in a bid that ‘surpasses’ the £80 m bid from Chelsea. That would be too stupid even for your club. None of us really care about the details. We are just confident that Tony will get his price.

I wonder if the latest offer has come from overseas

I think the article mentioned it was from a PL club.

Think the quote has said Premier

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I think it can only be Arsenal or Man Utd?

 

[Hiheidi]

 

[Stat Brother]

I'd doff my cap if Tony accepts £79m from Utd.

 

[The Fits]

Liverpool. Amazing. Makes the most sense as they need a DM. Having him join up with Mac is also a huge incentive in terms of settling in etc.

Cheers, not seen the article.

Same, I would cheerfully endorse the Albion accepting a lower bid from another club over anything that vile club has offered. It would be top, top shithousery.

 

[GT49er]

They were certainly linked not so long ago. If he has to leave I would be happy with that and regardless it’s anyone but Chelsea.

It would be fine (for me anyway) if we sold him to a different club for £80M after refusng all Chelsea bids - the furore on their forum would be joyous to behold. And TBH, to a decennt club that didn't mess about, £80M wouldn't be that bad a deal, IMHO. ABC (anyone but Chelsea!)





.......or Palarse!

 

[pb21]

Weren't the scouser's priced out of the Bellingham transfer, which was similar ~£100m?

 

[Commander]

Why would they bid £80m though, knowing we've already rejected that from Chelsea?

It would be hilarious if we said "Sure, you can have him for £80 million. We just weren't going to sell him to Chelsea for that".

They weren’t expecting to get over £50m for Fabinho and Henderson though.

Wary it's just 'Footballer Insider' but I reckon they're worried. They've got two great CMs in..well one is a ten really. They've got the best front line in the league, but they don't have a DM in the squad. And now have the Fabinho money.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

By the way, to those armchair Blues who couldn't find the Bridge with a GPS device and a London A-Z suggesting this is all some ploy from the Albion to push Chelsea into offering more, consider this:

-every single transfer now involves the player's agent being contacted in advance by the prospective buyer, establishing the player's interest and offering terms. It's why we've heard a million times that Caicedo has "agreed a deal" with the London Cowboys, or David Raya "has accepted an offer" from Arsenal despite nothing happening officially in terms of Albion (or Brentford) agreeing a deal or even giving permission to talk. All of this happens long before the clubs are spoken to in any official capacity. Therefore if nobody else had decided they wanted a piece, it's fair to say that Caicedo's money-grabbing Mr Fifteen Percent would be completely aware of that fact, and would have notified Chelsea to ensure they knew it was a ruse (because they want the Albion to buckle late on so the fee stays lower and there's more money left for signing-on fees and thus a greater cut for the agent).

And the Albion would know that's exactly what would happen. So it would make no sense whatsoever to make this kind of shit up, as everyone in the agent game (and thus other clubs) would soon know about it.

Yes - but they've since scooped more than £50M from the Beheaders.
