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

[Perfidious Albion]

The eye watering amount of money now being reported is a tribute to Tony Bloom’s hard nosed negotiating skill. Thank god we have him ! Mind you, I Will believe it is settled when I see the pic of Moises putting pen to paper .

Remember that Caicedo will take points off all our other rivals. His break up play means a goal a game fewer for all opposition teams.

Don't be so meek, Eric. With that kind of thinking you're basically saying we'll be starting each game without Caicedo with a 1 goal handicap.

 

[Bodian]

Bang goes the love-in with Liverpool.

Mind you.....never convinced Klopp was ever that keen. Prefers a player with a smile on his faces....like Morris Salad earlier today

Don't think Liverpool will hold it against us at all - they'll know the club have acted honourably in all of this.

 

[Bald Head]

He might fail the medical…….

I hope not ,all this craziness will start again

 

[Nobby]

I hope not ,all this craziness will start again

Indeed - let’s hope this farce is over
And we’ve actually rinsed Chelsea for a quarter of a billion

Bloom doesn’t get involved in transfers. As reported the negotiations were handled by barber and weir.

Until we replace him with Caicedo v2.0, yes absolutely. But that is only a temporary situation. All other PL teams have that handicap when they play Chelsea.

We both know that Caicedo is that good. It's why there was a bidding war that topped out at 115m.

That's true. Ever since managers started adopting the Brazilian 0-4-6 formation. Get past the midfield and it's a free shot on goal.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

• Anfield holds over 10,000 more spectators than Stamford Bridge, and Liverpool has experienced greater success than Chelsea.
• Goodison Park is across the river, and the Merseyside derby is a thrilling, historical rivalry - arguably, one of the best in the Premier League!
• The Grand National horse race takes place there at Aintree - probably the biggest of its kind in the UK.
• If you are interested in museums/galleries? Well, Liverpool gladly takes second (behind London) for that.
• It's maritime sights received UNESCO status including the Pier Head and Albert Dock.
• The city's vast collection of parks and open spaces has been described as the "most important in the country".
• The Beatles, regarded as the most influential band of all time, were formed in Liverpool and has built a great music scene in the city.
• It is also home to the oldest black community in the UK.

These are just a few things in Liverpool, excluding the recent Eurovision and tight-knit community within the city, so @dwayne will Chelsea (London) definitely be more attractive?

A nice list but one point of order; Goodison is just over the park from Anfield. It is Prenton Park that is just over the river.

About 2 weeks ago they were unwilling to go much over £80m, but end up paying £115m plus a portion of his next sale.

Will be glad when this circus is over and we can get back to normal

I thought on the high performance podcast when asked about the Chelsea stuff, Barber said he doesn’t get to involved as Weir & Bloom handle negotiations with Barber getting involved if asked

Will never be over on NSC, this thread will go on for years to come. Way past when Moises is retired and telling his 86 great great grandchildren about his move from Brighton to Chelsea.

I know it’s been done to death but how the f*** can Chelsea spend so much and keep spending?
It’s ridiculous. I still don’t get it.

 

[Eric the meek]

We have a difference of opinion on who conducted the negotiations. Was it Barber and Weir, or Bloom and Weir?

 

[um bongo molongo]

So Winstanley was probably told not to go above £80m and failed to land it. The big boss then stepped in to ‘get it done’ and ends up paying £115m and a 15% sell on.

I’ve had a few bosses like that…

Transfer fees received go in this year's accounts as total receipts. I think they've sold around 250m of players this summer.
Transfer fees spent are amortised over lengths of contracts (now limited)

About 2 weeks ago they were unwilling to go much over £80m, but end up paying £115m plus a portion of his next sale.

A portion of any profit they make over the fee they have paid us. If they don't sell him for 115+ we don't get anything.

Has the erudite Astrid commented yet? Was she not drinking tears after we accepted Liverpool's bid?

If she does another BAFTA quality video I'll check it out for you.

Why was she drinking BHA's tears anyway? I'm not clever enough to work that out.

She is probably on the kings road dressed in her most alluring attire keeping an eye open for Moises.
