The biggest difference apparently is £75M in full upfront , rather than the usual staggered paymentsAnd why are the media peddling the idea that another 5 million will make any difference?
That simply reflects cash flows, as a herd of plastic Gooners across the globe bet with their hope/heart. Never a sensible thing.Bookies agree with u
Chelsea will pay 120 million over 326 yearsThe biggest difference apparently is £75M in full upfront , rather than the usual staggered payments
Or people me covering the 11/2 I got on him staying by putting the same amount on him going to Arsenal at 7/4. I will be pissed off if he goes to Chelsea howeverThat simply reflects cash flows, as a herd of plastic Gooners across the globe bet with their hope/heart. Never a sensible thing.
He was already a high profile player - because he’s a brilliant MF known to every scout in the PL, not because of transfer chinese whispers!One positive to come out of this is that Caicedo was a relatively low-profile player in so far as a very good young PL player can be at transfer window time. He's now big news, and the bidding war to land him in the summer should be insane.
Although DeZ said he should go in the summer and we are generally agreed he will be off then, there is a little part of me beginning to hope if he stays today he might end up signing a new contract and staying for next season too.
And none of you can take my dreams away from me.
He’s being briefed by the club IMO, been way too certain. The fact Jim White has also been categoric must mean the club are planting the lines out there.Naylor's gonna look pretty bloody stupid !!
Maybe he's back to trolling Brighton fans. Getting our hopes up and making us look stupid when caciedo goes.
Because it’s obvious that somewhere between £70m and let’s say £1billion, there’s a figure at which TB, PB and RDZ would be happy to sell.You just said
How do you know that?
Geez...why is it all about Arsenal and Chelsea? There are bigger clubs out there who will be watching the situation and preparing bids in the summer ( more hand rubbing from TB )Or people me covering the 11/2 I got on him staying by putting the same amount on him going to Arsenal at 7/4.

A Chelsea who it's quite possible won't even be in Europe next season. If he plays like he has been for the rest of the season he can take his pick in the summerGeez...why is it all about Arsenal and Chelsea?

Yes it is, but Arsenal don't know what that figure is. So when you said 'Arsenal know what they need to offer to sign him' - no, they don'tBecause it’s obvious that somewhere between £70m and let’s say £1billion, there’s a figure at which TB, PB and RDZ would be happy to sell.
