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

[WATFORD zero]

None of us want to say it, but maybe ?

A nice early tweet from Tone tomorrow, welcoming Igor and announcing that Brighton's summer transfer window is now concluded and no further business will be done

Move to Saudi if a bid comes in?

The Saudis won't have the same problems finding the £100 million as Chelsea have experienced.

Absolutely not, still need a right back

Chelsea will get their man, they always do. Probably not in July or perhaps even August. It might be on the 1st Sept. They’ll pay £100m+ and field him, Colwill & Kudus against us. Money always wins through.

What is frustrating is that we’ve still got 5 weeks of this will he/won’t he nonsense before Mr Toad finally pays up.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Agree - that's the acid test. Biss and Cucurella looked outstanding in our system but have struggled to kick on. I think, unfortunately, MacAllister will be outstanding for Liverpool who have a shot at top 4 this coming season. Trossard is exactly where I said he'd be - warming the bench until they get fed up with Martinelli. Then you have a player like Dan Burn who was much criticised on here, including by me, who was a regular in a team that won Champions League football last season!

In three years time, all going well, nobody will be discussing the movement onward of our players. It will be what it is.

To learn that when we sold whatsisname to Arsenal, you know, the 'Leeds' one, we got more money than every single player we had ever sold before, combined, that was a Thing. Now I can't remember his name. Ben White. That was it. A year in our first team. That is football evolution.

Survival, inquiry, sophistication

How do we eat? What shall we eat? Where shall we have lunch?

Agreed, but I’m relaxed about how long it takes, for three reasons:

- it’s winding up Chavs plastics.
- CFC’s preseason lacks a world class defensive midfielder. Then they’ll lose this wholly avoidable stand off and cough the full £100m anyway. Tw@ts.
- I put myself in TB or PB’s handmade brogues. I’d wager they’re both incredibly laid back just now, player recruitment with or without MC going to plan.

 

[Horses Arse]

Interesting article in the athletic about the transfer process, particularly where leaks often originate from. Rarely from the buying club, unless they're an insecure club without a plan. Hello super chels!!

 

[dstanman]

Looks like Colwill was an unused sub against Newcastle. Would of seen his dream team playing

I doubt Bloom will sanction it for even £100m on the 1st September, way too late.

Yep really hope the cut off is first game of the season.

 

[trueblue]

Encouraging noises about Chelsea not being willing to pay more than £80m. Probably just testing the water to see whether they can tempt Caicedo to kick off in an attempt to keep the price down.

I know it's not my money, so it's easy for me to say, but I think we should take the £80m, but insert a sell on percentage as well.

That way we could buy both Koopmeiners and Kudus, on top of Milner and Dahoud.

Those four and £35m+ cash profit for Mac Allister and Caicedo is decent business.

I do not see that scenario at all. Chelsea are not chucking £100m at us at the last minute and we will not derail the first half of our season at the last minute either. If Boehly wants his man he'll have to get the deal done earlier than that.

This is precisely what they are doing. Pathetic.

 

[Icy Gull]

In the same way I don’t understand why Chelsea stumped up 60 million for Cucu I don’t understand why they won’t stump up the extra 20 million for Moises. Came on last night and oozed class. Hopefully their pig headedness on this continues to the window slamming shut. He would transform Chelsea’s midfield.

 

[atomised]

he took a few minutes to settle last night but once he did some of his passing was sublime

A lot of things I've read lately from more thoughtful Chelsea pundits have suggested his singing would be the difference between top ten and top four and I'd agree. He's that good, that with their new signings (plus maybe Kudus and Olise) you could see him making that kind of difference. They'll have to eventually realise paying a bit more makes sense.

I wish them good luck with that. Has that club learned nothing from Arsenal trying that trick?

 

[Berty23]

I agree. He won the ball. And then distributed. His ball to Undav when he tried another dink was brilliant. I really hope he stays. With Adingra and Pedro giving us more depth we could be even better than last season.


Can’t wait to lose to 1-0 to Luton who score from a corner after their one attack.
