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

[GT49er]

Makes no difference if it's Liverpool or Southend. The price is £100m!

Don't agree. It would be priceless to sell him to someone else for what Chelsea have offered (or £1 less just to rub salt in!) Nobidy's offering £100M yet, and I don't think anyone will, TBH.

Imo neither Fred nor Mctominay would be good moves for us - Kelvin Phillips if City maybe?

Phillips would be interesting. He was perfect for the quarterback role that Bielsa's system needed, but hasn't really impressed in any other role. I'd be intrigued to see him play the holding role for RDZ, allowing Webster and Pervis to carry forward and picking out long passes for our wingers. What I don't know with him or McTominay is how good they are on the half turn. Anybody who plays in our pivot has to be really good at recieving and moving the ball quickly in any direction.

Probably nothing in any player swap, but interesting to consider in theory.

Philips on 180k a week. Ain't happening. Huge outside chance of a loan.

Chelsea should go for him....

Wouldn't be surprised if the bid was from abroad.

 

[GT49er]

Surely bullshit? Would any club really come in with a bid without first having had an informal chat with the player's agents about whether he would like fo come? This is the process normally described by Fab Romano as 'player has agreed terms'.

 

[The Fits]

It's all a bit of pantomime isn't it?

 

[oldboyroy]

I reckon it might be City you know. They've got the money and they've not spent any.
Looks like we better get our bids in for that replacement pronto because he is off now.

Wouldn't mind if he goes to City

I think Man City etc might fancy Moises wanting to join them.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Jacobs exists online solely to stroke the egos of Chelsea's overseas army of Tweeters.

But is what he is saying possible ?

 

[GT49er]

Wouldn't be surprised if the bid was from abroad.

I would. Some PL teams may be owned by Beheaders or Yanks, but as far as I'm aware none of those clubs have actually moved there.

 

[Comrade Sam]

People claiming the mystery bid is Liverpool. Anyone but Chelsea and preferably abroad please. Although ultimately another year at the Albion would be my 1st choice.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Wouldn't be surprised if the bid was from abroad.

I thought this earlier, maybe Spain or Sand land.

Philips on 180k a week.

Good point, that I'd overlooked. It's easy to get caught up in this tosh isn't it?

 

[Acker79]

It's Chelsea. They're starting to get a complex, thinking we're saying no because we don't like them, so putting an anonymous bid in to see if we say yes if we think it's someone else.

 

[The Fits]

Definitely being suggested by multiple sources it isn't Liverpool.
Either Naylor is on the wind up or it's City.

That's brilliant

Or it's man u !

Literally says ‘PL club’ in all the reports

 

[GT49er]

I think Man City etc might fancy Moises wanting to join them.

Yes, he probably would. He'd probably fancy United, Liverpool or Arsenal too! They'd still have a chat with his agent first.

 

[Bob!]

So, possible scenario.
We accept a bid from City.
City talk to player and agents, and won't match the terms that Chelsea have offered Moises.
He stays here?
