Relentless. But still not even at the stage of agreeing personal terms…
'Agreeing personal terms' doesn't mean shit if they're not going to stump up the cash.
'Alright if we give you £150k a week instead of the £50k you're currently on?'
'Yup'

'Yup'
Yer or they meet in the middle. 80 sounds about right.

£60m is insulting.

There have been a few posts on Twitter from Chelsea fans along the lines of : "No one should pay what Brighton are asking for Caicedo, that will show them."
I can imagine Barber going into RdZ and saying, "Sorry, we couldn't get rid of one of the best midfielders in the world, you're stuck with Moises for another season." Roberto will be crying into his Peroni.

I suspect that was has happened is a number (ie more than 1) of clubs have said to Moises 'would you accept huge amounts of dosh per week', and he has said yes, you just have to agree a price with TB.
Nobody has yet made an offer that meet's TB's valuation yet and if they don't, he'll be here next season. Again, I believe TB's valuation is going to be Cucurella, White high rather than AliMac, Burn, Tross level given how long he has been contributing to the team.
There's no doubt in my mind that he has the potential to be world class, but I thought that Biss, White and Cucurella were better players than they've proven to be since. Dan Burn, now there was a good buy

We are in a much better negotiating position than Chelsea. Next week will be very interesting.
If we turned down 70 in Jan, and the players got better, with a new longer contract I can see the logic in TB opening talks with offers of 60.

It is a real shame as he’s definitely the best player I’ve watched play for Brighton. However the huge transfer fee looks like it’s come at a good time when the club needs to strengthen a lot more than they would have probably envisaged due to qualifying for Europe .
£100m goes a long way in our recruitment ..

Yes, give us Colwill and 60 million and you can have Moises.
Not give us Colwill for 40 million and you can have Moises for 60 million. That would mean we would be getting Colwell and 20 million.
Agree with you.
But is it not technically an illegal approach to unsettle player under contract?
I understand we almost certainly do it as well.
Just modern football.
Reckon it's essentially meant to say 'it's Colwill plus £60m, or £100m.

Huh? Them giving us £60m and us giving them £40 million = Us getting £100m for Caicedo? Am I missing something here?
Edit - no idea how I missed subsequent posts.
