A British record transfer is usually regarded as big news!

I saw a mock up him in Chelsea shirt £115 and 15% add on, thought it was a done deal? Clearly not.

This could actually be quite galvanising for the squad/club.

There was plenty of mentions across main stream media on Friday when the news broke we'd accepted the record bid from Liverpool. There was then plenty of coverage of Moises saying he only wanted Chelsea and wasn't going to go to Liverpool. Since then there has been nothing to report other than noise from the normal clickbait merchants on twitter.
I don't think Sky Sport News need an hourly update from someone stood outside Stamford Bridge reporting that nothing is happening.
OK, British record transfer BID.
Don't know why you're arguing so hard - it's a huge footballing news story that is generating much less noise on mainstream media than you'd expect. Well, OK, not you .............

I thought the coverage on Friday morning was quite extensive, although it was sharing the sporting headlines with the story about the England football captain's possible move to Germany. Quite understandable, I think.
Then the whole story became a bit farcical and people focused on the start of the Premier League season.
When the deal is struck and done and dusted, I'm sure there'll be enough coverage to keep us all happy.
Its not 150, don't forget we have to pay something like 20% in fees back to caicedo's old club. Do you think we would be better off keeping Ali Mac and Caicedo on good terms building their talents more and more into how we play or starting again with the money?
It'll be nice for The Good Lady Bloom.
I bet she can't wait to stop looking for bargains in Aldi's aisle of uncertainty and start shopping in Waitrose.

We didn't have a choice though did we. The best bit is Caicedo is said to have agreed a Chelsea contract in May
Historically Chelsea were a big Club....These days they are on the wane, last season 12th in the League with 44 points. Brighton are the reverse .. Historically an also ran, between Leagues... Nowadays an established Prem side, one of the teams all teams fear finishing 8th with 18 more points than Chelsea last season. I am sorry to see Moises go and maybe he will do well at Chelsea(if thats where he is going) or maybe he will like Potter and Cucurella fail !! Time will tell !!
I see John W Henry and members of FSG are flying in today, Maybe to meet Tony Bloom .Could add to the intrigue.(sorry not meant as reply to you).
BBC site suggest £115 and an 8 year contract, but that unless money is up front we won't agree (The Liverpool deal is, by contrast, acceptable).
I agree that if Moises cocks this up he should be left to rot. I suspect that if he is that stupid this will happen.
Hardly fair to compare a free transfer signing with mac and Caicedo when we still have so much of the money to spend.

No, I'm not suggesting that and I don't know how came to that conclusion from what I said.
I'm simply pointing out that losing Caicedo is absolutely a loss in terms of his ability but also a net positive in that we now do not have a player in the squad who doesn't want to be here.
Ali Mac, same thing, though less so because he at least handled his exit gracefully.
So the squad may be weaker but the group is stronger.
