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

[Green Cross Code Man]

Palace are irrelevant to me now that Haha has gone, whereas Chelsea

Really? The rivalry hardly started with Zaha did it?

 

[Change at Barnham]

Sanchez to come for a cross today and spill it allowing a simple tap in for a Liverpool win.
That would do nicely.

 

[sparkie]

If Chelsea want to unveil his singing at the Liverpool match then it may be information lockdown until then and we won't hear anything prior.

 

[Bob!]

Has there been any *proper* reporting ( like from actual journalists ) that Chelsea have actually bid £115m for Caicedo.
And any evidence that BHA have accepted that bid?

Nope

 

[Triggaaar]

£115m for a player they didn't want to pay £100m for is hilarious.

They wouldn't even pay £85m.

 

[Triggaaar]

Not sure if any truth in it but rumours online were Liverpools offer was at a level and structured in a way that meant if Chelsea matched they would exceed FFP thresholds.

No, there's no truth in that

 

[Springal]

The new Robbie Keane ?

Chelsea fans online are claiming he (Boehly) is a tactical genius.... it's all about opinions.

That will be the African fans again.

I’m not sure how any Chelsea fan can claim this has gone well. Missed the entire pre season and now paying £15 million over what they could have done months ago. Strange bunch

Funny thing about that, I suspect that a heck of a lot of people who continue the Palace hate have a clue about how it started and why the hatred, and there are not that many left who were actually there at the famous coin toss.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

That would do ninicely

Life is too short to be bitter. I wish Sanchez well. They can lose without him f***ing up

According to Fab Rom the monumental twit has agreed terms with Chelsea and Hove Albion agreeing to sing until 2031 with a years extension. If I were TB I would be demanding the full payment upfront. Just goes to show having great brain to feet coordination does not make a person smart or likeable.

It made me chuckle...but surely Liverpool wouldn't know that detail?

Well I wasn't there at the coin toss as I was under 10 years old, but remember it well, and like a good dad have taught my children to carry on the tradition. I am sure there are plenty of others too. palace are a little irrelevant to us atm as we are in the ascendancy by a wide margin just as they were when they cheated their way to success in the past, we are far more comparable to them over the years and probably will be again in the future. Chelsea will buy trophies and sidestep rules and this gives them the idea they are 'big'. Almost certainly we will remember some angst and a bit of frustration and gnashing of the teeth but it will most likely die down as they overtake us.

Chelsea paid two/three times the value for Cucu.
They paid silly money for a manager who isn’t as good as everyone thought.
Took Winstanley (boo hoo) who needs hand holding to get deals over the line.
Paid 25 mill for our reserve keeper, who would have been disruptive if someone hadn’t stumped up.
Are now paying ludicrous money for a player who has played a season and a bit. Far more than they intended.
We do them over at ever turn.
I‘ll stick to hating Palace, thanks.

All true but it still pisses me off that they can cause us so much disruption, and we are very lucky that it didn’t derail us. Taking Caicedo might though…

I have been here since the Venables/Mullery days but I have to confess to struggling to keep up the hate recently. It’s all Panto to me now

Would that be from this fake account?

Same here, he served us well and to be honest I would be pissed off if after being with the club since the age of 15 I lost my place to someone who is not as good a traditional keeper i.e. the way the club trained me.

We were so far below them in every aspect for about 20 years that the modern-day rivalry didn’t really start until 2011 when we on an equal footing again. Zaha and his annoying habit of scoring against us have been a big part of the rivalry ever since.
