[Albion] £115m

[brighton_tom]

You cannot lose the quality of Trossard, MacAlister and Caicedo and not expect a massive difference. That is HUGE. We will do very well to finish top half this season now. The Pigeons will come home to roost at some point. Enjoy this season and Europe

True. But we have added to the squad, and will add further. So it’s not just some gaping whole in the squad that remains so. Adingra, Pedro, Dahoud, Milner, Igor, Alzate etc all mitigate the losses & the Caicedo cash could buy us some real marquee signings.

The temptation not to watch that match and support the reds might be too much for me. Hope they absolutely smash Chelsea and our two ex’s score.

Adams vs Caicedo is an absolute joke - he’ll destroy him.

Doubtful wit cucurella and big bob, oh err…

Is there to be a twist to this tale? Apparently Chelsea could be coming back in with a bid, which would have to match Liverpools.

Obviously if he goes to Chelsea we will boooooo him!

top half now unlikely , I'd be more than happy to be well away from relegation dog fights , playing good football and hopefully progress a bit in Europe.

You are right there is no way we wont drop off abit but be easier to judge at the end of the window.

I read Chelsea bid £100 m.

Chelsea aren't out of this... Heard of £115m bid being tabled... We'll have to wait and see!

The fickleness of football fans. I will be joining in the booing if this happens

Milner I’m yet to be convinced about but really excited for the rest of the newbies and don’t forget mitoma, march, gilmour, woot f***ing woot!!!

Chelsea bid £100m last night. Confirmed by Ornstein.



This lines up with what I've been told re: my post about a new Chelsea bid from a fairly reliable sauce.

 

[Icy Gull]

Wow

Really hope TB tells him, “it’s Liverpool or you stay here, no way are you going to Chelsea”

Sadly I don’t think TB is as short sighted or emotional as me

 

[willalbion]

Wow

That’s insane

 

[Kosh]

I’d say we’re likely to be about 13th this year… given our attacking talents, we’re in for goals… given our lack of defensive solidity in midfield, that’ll be at both ends… even more so than last season…

A 3-3, 4-3, 5-2 kind of a season… it’ll be fun, but I suspect fruitless and that’ll see Mitoma and Pervis, even Fergie leave… ah; the rise and fall… not sure we can keep rebuilding, it’s like the old dam on a beach game… even with your dad helping out, the tide always wins… always.

If he did that Moises would probably play for the other team when he lines up for us lol

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Surely chelsea won't now bid £111m when they could have had him for £100m will they?

 

[HeaviestTed]

Wow

We have sold all our 3 world class players now, jewels left now pervis, evan and kaoru of selling ageand high bids circa £ 50 m, we have had a great season but will do well to be anywhere near midtable now, thing is how does Roberto feel ? That is my biggest worry. This guy is ambitous and wants to win leagues and trophies, don't blame Bloom or Barber as at the end of the day everyone has a selling price but for how long can we unearth the gems we have ? The squad to lose the heart of the midfield this summer, well lets see what happens

 

[Stato]

Wow

If that is true, he'd be 'keeping his word' about discussions that FA rules prevent him personally from ever having had whilst under contract to us. I'm guessing that the Liverpool deal may not have been arranged through the same agents and that pressure is being applied to make sure that someone doesn't lose out on their cut.

The best thing to happen last year was cucurella going, in TB and PBOBE we trust!

RDZ knew Moises and maccer were off at the end of last season. Colwill was a bit part player for us.

It’s a shame but RDZ must have been aware of our model and the parameters.
