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

[banjo]

Does that make Chelsea our rich sugar daddy

 

[The Rivet]

Does that make Chelsea our rich sugar daddy

Na, in reality that's our shrewd owner, his experience in risk and the staff he employs.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

This deal could be record transfer fee-defining

 

[herecomesaregular]

Astronomical. How many wheelbarrows of fivers is £115mill?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The thread title should be amended now.

The thread title should be amended now.

Nothing official from the club yet, though

 

[Silverhatch]

Chelsea owe us so much money in structured payments, we’ll probably need insurance to guard against the buggers going out of business!

The thread title should be amended now.

Caicedo has now f***ed off to Chelsea. Official.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

45m more than their first bid.

 

[Eeyore]

So in the last twelve months Chelsea have handed Brighton £20m to upgrade their manager, their best young defender on loan, a top young midfielder for £10m, £25m for the 2nd choice keeper, £175m in other transfer fees and six points that got us to Europe

 

[WhingForPresident]

So Chelsea have now given us £225 million in 12 months 🫠

There won’t be until after medicals etc I expect.

Shame it wasn’t Liverpool but at least it’s all done now. Bored of this.

We'll be their biggest creditors if they go bust.

We'll own them

£1m in £20 notes looks like this apparently - about half a wheelbarrow full I reckon.

So, two wheelbarrows for £1m in fivers. 230 wheelbarrows at a rough guess.....

I prefer to put it as Chelsea have given us nearly a quarter of a billion pounds in just over a year.

 

[Eric the meek]

A word of congratulations and support for Tony Bloom, Paul Barber, RDZ and the rest.

This episode will not have been at all easy. And there's no way that I know of, to sort out the Mac Allisters from the Caicedos when the time comes to sell.

As we rise up the ranks, we are finding that rising a bit more, offers up fresh challenges. All part of the journey I guess.

I prefer to put it as Chelsea have given us nearly a quarter of a billion pounds (and Billy G) in just over a year.

amended....

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Am I now finally allowed to say that I think Moises is being wildly overrated by Chelsea fans? Which does NOT mean I think he’s not a good player — of course he is. But £115m is a complete and utter absurdity. A lot of Chelsea fans actually know very little about him, and have probably never seen him play. They seem to think they’re getting some match-winning Beckenbauer-Zidane cross.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

SSN have the breaking news banner the wrong way round "Chelsea agree £115 deal to Sign someone" surely it should be "Brighton agree to sell someone to the Chavs for £115m making it £225m in a year "

We'll be their biggest creditors if they go bust.

We'll own them

Any property in SW6 1HS is a nice asset to own.
