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

[Beanstalk]

But, it would leave him a Brighton player. Chelsea is all noise and bluster until they make a bid which is acceptable.

This. I'd imagine, if Chelsea walked away from agreeing a new deal (though it sounds as if they aren't going to), he'd suddenly feel Liverpool was a good option for him.

Just got off the phone to my source. Understand Swindon Town are back involved again.

I just asked the cleaner at the county ground and she said your sauce is wrong.

 

[jackalbion]

All getting a bit out of hand now

 

[Lawros Lip]

Of course his preference trumps money on the table. If he doesn't agree terms with Liverpool, he doesn't go. Obviously, that doesn't mean we have to facilitate a move to Chelsea but we're not bundling him into the back of the van and driving him to Anfield.

Currently he can’t make a preference for Chelsea, unless they match the Liverpool bid.

We can’t force him to go to Liverpool but his choice in the contractual situation he is in has to be Liverpool or stay with us.

Would put a few on the gate there if a deal can be pulled of

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Sorry but you're incredibly naive. Paul Barber has one job when he speaks to the media/us - protect the club and have the club's best interests in mind.

Him admitting that Moises is desperate to leave, refusing training and has cleared his locker out makes us look weak and makes our ability to reject offers for Moises a lot weaker. Paul is doing his job well, he hasn't been honest with us

He admitted Sanchez downed tools so why lie about another player? RDZ also said the same so is he a liar too?
Why would Paul protect him?

Yep. He’s backed himself right into a corner. We said he could leave if our valuation was reached - it has been.

It will be interesting to see how this saga will unfold but throughout it all, I've increasingly felt like we are the "good guys" and Chelsea clearly aren't.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

He's doing the same as Cucurella, if not worse. He deserves booing when we play Chelsea

And hopefully he is as thin-skinned as Cucurella.

Exactly, this is a three-way negotiation. The clubs have to agree a deal, and the player has to agree a deal with the club.

We agreed a deal with Liverpool, Moises apparently turned down their contract offer.
Moises (is ready to) agree a deal with Chelsea, but we haven't agreed a deal with Chelsea yet.

So either Moises changes his mind on Liverpool (and hope Liverpool haven't already moved on), or Chelsea offers a deal the club can accept. Or Moises stays.

 

[Seasider78]

The club were clear they wanted this done today so we can move on our targets and this is slowing things up with still no improved bid reported from Chelsea. I can imagine Moises and his camp will be getting an ultimatum from the club shortly if not already.

 

[Dibdab]

Ive stuck by Moises through all this but this has become a total farce and it's all on him. We still get paid either way and if he does go to Chelsea then at least weve got 25% more than they want to pay but they have shown what an utter shambles they are.

Have club now deleted tweets?

Have club now deleted tweets?

What tweets?

'The big clubs cannot buy our soul'

WE HAVE to make a huge banner of this and have it in the north stand.

I love RDZ! It's not relevant now but contrast this with Potter or even previous managers.

'Big clubs' we're coming for you.

Don't worry, I've just finished making it. It reads 'Money can't buy everything, our soul is not one of them.'

 

[WhingForPresident]

Hope we flat out refuse to speak with Chelsea. They lost the auction and sounds like they have been using underhand tactics AGAIN in ringing his agent promising him a shitload more cash to stop him signing for Liverpool.

 

[Justice]

What a fool very few players turn down Liverpool when they come calling.
