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

[CheeseRolls]

Think about it. If you're a journalist, you wouldn't want to piss Newcastle United's owners off, would you?

I quite enjoy reading the Geordie press. It relects perfectly the believe of the supporters that theirs is the greatest city with the greatest football team, except somewhere at the back of their collective minds is that little nagging doubt.

There is a desperation for Dan Ashworth to sprinkle some of that Brighton gold dust on the Tyne. Any other set of supporters in the same position would be;

Brighton who?
Some small club who finished below us and haven't got anywhere near the financial clout that we have.

You get the impression that the Chelsea and Manu Utd psyche is we want everyone to hate us, because we are so much better than you, and always win whereas the Geordie psyche is closer to, we want everyone to recognise we are the best team in the world and to love us for it.

My attempt at the Brighton pysche would be you didn't pay us enough attention and then you underestimated us didn't you.

Rumours are Man City have entered the race for Rice and if true then that is going to make arsenal have to go big on Caicedo if they want to fight off Chelsea.

Perfect time for Bloom to put pressure on chelsea over Colwill.

 

[Mancgull]

Rice going to City would absolutely make Caicedo an even more desirable player for Arsenal, which would really ramp up the price tag.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I hadn't thought of it in that light!

Just stay away from events at the embassies.

Sod that, I think I'd change jobs. Or sports.

Everyones favourite wooden spoon is going heavy on Caicedo to Chelsea at the moment.
It'd be a shame to have to face him next season, but if we can rinse Boely and his cronies for another shit tonne of money, or do a deal with Sanchez, Caicedo and Colwill then so be it..

 

[The Fits]

What about this purely hyperthetical swap:
In Gallagher and Colwill. Out Sanchez and Caicedo.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Bayern Munich in the race apparently.

Chelsea ready to match Arsenal's Rice bid - sources

Football Insider has been told by sources that Chelsea are ready to match any bid Arsenal make for Brighton star Moises Caicedo.

www.footballinsider247.com

Also outcome of Declan Rice move dependent.

 

[HCxUK]

Lots of Caicedo chat today, seems like Chelsea are the only team properly in for him.

We all know he’s off, but it’ll be a huge shame if he ends up at Chelsea. An embarrassment of a club, with no European football to offer. I think we can expect a player to come our way in the deal - hopefully Colwill but wouldn’t be surprised if it was Gallagher.

 

[Chicken Run]

I’d say Chelsea , I mean he doesn’t want to get bogged down with playing in Europe right?

 

[BevBHA]

Matt Law (Telegraph) reporting that Tony Bloom rates Caceido at £120m and Brighton are looking at deal worth £80m plus player or £120m straight deal.

He’s a pretty reliable source aswell, blimey.

 

[Shooting Star]

Is anyone else personally a bit miffed at Moises wanting Chelsea? I could understand Arsenal, but Chelsea?!

That is brilliant

He must have driven past Stamford Bridge when coming home from the airport…

Plus £80m

 

[trueblue]

Do we want Gallagher? He had a good season - at Palace, which in itself doesn't help. Was garbage last season. A headless chicken from the Robbie Savage school of running about a lot. Don't see him being an RDZ type player.

It's probably worth pointing out that as a fanbase we're very quickly to rubbish 'lower' fees for our players because "Bloom doesn't set fees" so this should be taken with the exact same shovel of salt. It's not more true just because we'd like it to be.

 

[jcdenton08]

Chelsea is looking increasingly likely, but they are very much giving a firm no on Colwill (unsurprisingly). I reckon it’ll be £75m plus £10m in add-ons.

Good stuff.

Although I imagine £80 million with, say, a 50%(FIFTY%) sell-on might tempt as well.

 

[Weststander]

The Rice fee is £92m plus, Caicedo’s his equal and three years younger.

So Chelsea would have to hand over £50m as well.
