[Albion] £115m

[Justice]

We should just go and bid £50mill for Lavia to piss Chelsea off even more

No thanks

 

[blueandwhitestripes]

Sky Sports also reporting we have a sell on clause!

Just taking a moment to laugh at Chelsea

Oh, come on - more than a moment!

20%

So really, we are looking at £89m not £111m.
That is a pretty fair price for his talent.
Essentially Liverpool are paying the sell-on fee to his previous club, as an extra.

Insane money. Don't get me wrong, Caicedo is one of those special special players and only 21, but to get £111m for him at this stage is mind blowing. Huge hole in our midfield, but you have to trust Bloom and RDZ to deal with that.

Is this the moment we finally stop worrying about where the FA Cup money went?

The BBC have added another million.

That's for a Full English breakfast for his agent

His agent is a tall skinny chap

 

[brighton_tom]

Both Sky Sports and BBC saying the fee is £111m now!!! WHAT THE f***!? Sky Sports also saying we have put a sell on clause within the deal. Tony Bloom has absolutely smashed this one...

Slightly bizarre how Liverpool underpaid for Mac and overpaid for Caicedo, to a total that is probably about right (£70m each). £110m is a staggering amount. And to think it's to us. Mind blown.

I just hope he signs and is on the pitch at the weekend against Chelsea. That would be the ultimate “rub it in your face” moment.

Getting that amount of money AND stiffing Chelsea is brilliant, but it’s only half the job. We’ve lost our two most important players this summer and we need to crack on with finding a De Zerbi approved replacement. Every other club is now going to know we’ve got money to burn and we know the club won’t break contractual structures (rightly).

Could still be an interesting three weeks or so.

Might be worth giving Igor a try in the DM enforcer role where the odd mistake (if the rumour is true) won't matter as much.

I'm still also holding out for Ayari to show what.a.player he is. But to do that, he needs to actually get on the pitch. I don't think he's a DM anyway.

We need a leader in midfield now more than ever.

1) It is time for Wee Billy Pirlo to step up.
2) Mac and Moi will work for us taking point off our rivals
3) what odds we finish above Liverpool this year?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Hope the tight hamstring doesn’t affect his medical

Title is wrong! BBC is saying it is £111m

thats the way im looking at it.

Some of the comments on the BBC site are great - we are praised for our business acumen and recruitment policy, but Chelsea and Liverpool are both mocked.
