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

[Green Cross Code Man]

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.

Well I see what you are saying but it makes no sense when you account for McShane and our exploits up there in 2005 (?)

 

[Icy Gull]

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

That would be f***ing hilarious until you realise they’ll just get a fine and that’ll be the end of it

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

I’d rather he flapped at it, hits Cucu on the bonce and the ball trickles into the net.

I don't think so the rivalry just simmered away, with Palace laughing at us and enjoying our pain, then once we were actual opponents again the panto had a voice

Fab hasn't tweeted that as far as I can see, they appear duped by the fake tweet.

It's all become for Chelsea fans about beating Pool to the purchase. They've all forgotten whether or not they're getting value for money and can actually integrate all their new hires into a team!

Read it.
Reportedly set to sign.

That’s not fact. It’s speculation.

Fact is when it’s reported that Brighton have accepted a bid, and then a medical is passed. Neither have happened with Chelsea.

 

[GT49er]

Unfortunately, like Man City, there’ll just be a slapped wrist.
I’d be happy to see them get a transfer ban minimum.

I wish they had a transfer ban now!

Yeah, unknot your knickers, I don't think I said ITS A FACT rather according to Fab Rom ........

That will be the African fans again.

The same ones that think ArrDee is the new Wordsworth

 

[DJ NOBO]

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

Caicedo is leaving because he’s an excellent player and he has overactive agents.
Chelsea are making it as painless as it could be by overpaying.
That club is a classic case of a fool and their money.
Whereas we are stronger than ever.

The jury is out on your last point, we have sold the engine room. Keeping the faith though

Fab did post it and this ridiculously long contract is one of the main reasons he's joing the scum

2 weeks ago the same rumour muppets said Chelsea couldn't pay £100m because it would mean them breaking FFP. It's BS. It also makes no difference how Liverpool structured the deal, Chelsea wouldn't have to do the same.

Also, for those thinking the money arrives to Brighton in drips and drabs - FFP doesn't work like that. It's not relevant when we get paid - the cost gets amortised (for Chelsea) over 5 years (or less if the contract is less).

Thanks, that is not quite the same as the other tweet which states he has signed, however it's very similar.

 

[jackalbion]

There’s now an Ecuadorean journo saying Brighton have got nowhere with Chelsea and it’s over in favour of Liverpool - could well be bullshit but would be fitting if there was one last mad twist to end this bizarrest of soap operas

I’d find it incredibly funny if Tony Bloom has told an Ecuadorian journalist that exact quote. “Todd Boehly is All Talk, No Money”

 

[Beach Hut]

What a horrible pathetic saga this has been.

Totally disrespectful to the club that gave him the chance, the sooner he is off our books the better.

 

[nickjhs]

Whereas we are stronger than ever.

How does losing two exceptional players, and bringing in new players that are not as good and do not yet fully understand our style of play make us stronger than ever?
