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

[portslade seagull]

Did they also mention that Dick’s Bar is rebranding as ‘Stanley’s’ in a homage to our dearly departed Chairman?

At the end of this season it will be no more anyway due to the shop expanding into the space

 

[Mancgull]

I expect this is the first part of the attempt for the player( backed his his agents) to be pushing for a move. I expect it’s what Chelsea are wanting too.
Barber being proactive in grasping the situation and landing the message.
This is clearly a statement to say that we are holding our ground.
No new Chelsea bid.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Moises could of course have faked the injury.

Agreed it would look silly if he goes tomorrow with that statement. But then we did do that Cucurella, denied all reports of a deal being agreed with a website statement only for him to go 24 hours later

which is the correct way to do it I reckon. No need to give a running commentary on the negotiations.

 

[WATFORD zero]

It's still open to interpretation, so I will interpret it as PBOBE saying "The £100M window is now closed and we really can't see them offering £200M, but don't forget what the stupid bastards did 2 days before the first league match last season"

 

[Hiheidi]

Ben Jacobs still waffling...

 

[chrisg]

Even PB knows a slight hamstring injury doesn’t mean you are playing 6 days later.
At least come up with something more plausible

 

[jcdenton08]

Ben Jacobs still waffling...

Right. So “there are rumours” it’s A, but Brighton have said B, but don’t forget it could be C. So, hopefully that clears things up.

 

[junior]

Oh look he’s done it again, can claim he is right no matter what happens. Moises goes “I was right they were pushing for the move all summer.” Or if he stays “I was right Brighton wouldn’t do the deal as no one matched what they want.” Stealing a living.

So what?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Definitely nothing agreed methinks. Just sounds like Moises has gone on a mini strike.

Or he tweaked his hamstring and there is no point risking him in a game where we used 21 players?

Means nothing really - as usual. I doubt the hamstring issue is true (sorry PBOBE) but it’s a good strong message all the same. Likelihood is we’re back where we were in Jan. By removing Moises’ options to go missing without permission, we’re probably just spiking the guns of his advisors. No point telling him to refuse to play if he’s not playing anyway..He’ll either have to make a public transfer request (which we’ll reject unless there’s an acceptable bid) or put out some other ‘angry’ statement - which would look pretty stupid after signing a new contract 6 months ago.

The good news, I think, is that he’ll knuckle down and crack on if that bid never arrives. He seems a good lad. Just young and getting conflicting advice from all sides.

 

[A1X]

“Starting the season with us” and “still being here when the transfer window shuts” are, of course, not mutually exclusive

This is the truth, by not selecting him he can’t refuse to play which takes the option out of his and his advisers hands.
Advantage BHA
I don’t know why clubs don’t do this more often, so many players decide to down tools to get their own way !

 

[southstandandy]

Every day closer to the start of the season we should ask for another £10m.

Monday £110m
Tuesday £120m
Wednesday £130m etc etc

 

[Napper]

Big week for Moises and his agents with the games . Looks like it’s begun

Orgh GOD that guy is a nonce.

 

[Javeaseagull]

The problem as I see it is that we are so used to being lied to that we don’t believe anything anyone says! A respected CEO of a Premier League club makes a statement and they all say Liar, Liar as is he’s Tony Blair. That Johnson character has a lot to answer for.

Much as I detest Boris Johnson, I think the tradition of footballers developing minor injuries amid fevered transfer speculation was happening for decades before the tousle-haired sack of shit perfected the art of talking bollocks.

‘Brighton argue’
Is he special? We don’t have to argue anything, the asking price is just that

 

[Hugo Rune]

Ben Jacobs still waffling...

He goes on to say……

“It might seem like it's dragging on and even getting acrimonious, but the clubs do actually have a good relationship.”

Yes Jacobs you absolute thunderkyunt. Of course it seems acrimonious because two of the most tinpot, amateur and money grabbing agents in world football are representing our boy and you are parroting and tweeting out every single PM they send you. You are representing their warped unprofessional money lusting position, not the position of the player or decent fans. You and the likes of Fab are a major reason for the acrimony. Just fudge off to a dark cave somewhere and rot you posh twunt.
