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

[Mellotron]

Ornstein now reporting Caicedo to Chelsea as a done deal.

£80m + £5m add-ons.

EDIT - IGNORE - Got done by a parody account dint I. Sake.

I'd you're referring to Twitter it's a parody account.

Sky sports current breaking headline is that “Chelsea are looking to formalise their interest in Caicedo”. What the f*** does that mean? Sounds like no contact/bids have been made by that.

Which is what Naylor has been saying. Makes sense. Guess that means bid incoming. Long way from done yet it seems.

 

[Dibdab]

20% of it goes to his former club don't forget

That doesnt make him worth more though?

Seriously? What is the point?

I know, very annoying

Something to keep these people amused in between wanks.

No, but if we've gone public with a £100m asking price it seems unlikely we're going to suddenly accept £85m when we're already losing 20% of the fee

 

[atomised]

but it does put a different perspective on his value to us which is the key factor here

If true - and I deliberately include the 'if'! - that's probably about right, for those without blue and white tinted specs, anyway. Shame our players never seem to generate a bidding war, or much of one anyway. I'd rather it was £40M + £5M + Colwill, but that's looking increasingly unlikely. Maybe if we stand firm a bit longer a bidding war or a Colwill deal will come about, but TBH I doubt it.
Just a shame it's Chelsea though - I'd rather he went almost anywhere else but there!

We haven't. Internet 'journalists' needing clickbait have.

Formalise meaning from the Kings Road dictionary.....

It's not true. @Mellotron presumably saw this tweet from a reasonably realistic looking fake account run by someone with not much happening in their life:

 

[southstandandy]

They've just realised they have to buy both his legs and not just the one.

What, Andy Naylor who prints whatever the club tell him to?

No, not him.

 

[scwiffy]

Or Chelsea just need a DM. Either way, good advertising, I imagine Bohley does his scouting via YouTube

 

[Rookie]

If Colwill is going to be part of any deal I doubt it will happen until after u21 games. Few more days / weeks of ‘ITK’ reporting what ever rubbish they want

 

[Eeyore]

The club turned it down in January because it would have destroyed our season. If we get to £80m it will be the 7th highest UK transfer fee ever for a lad that cost almost nothing three years ago and has just over a years top flight experience. I think it gets done around that price.

This. I think I said earlier in the thread that £80m plus add ons was about right.

He's only had the one season and been very good or outstanding (but had his bad moments).

Albion should be happy with things. I doubt they are disappointed. £100m was just internet hype. Fans always over value players.

After 1 full year in the team, and a pivotal one at that, the club make around £55-60m profit on his contract.

Must be one of the most expensive Premier League signings as well.
