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

[Icy Gull]

68 pages on Caciedo being sold and no one seems to be that concerned about the impact it may have losing one of the best midfield pairings in the PL. Saying that if Chelsea really wanted Caciedo the deal would be done by now so fingers crossed.

We’ve had more than 68 pages on signings that we were making that didn’t even happen haven’t we?

Keep The Faith - just the 216!

If you include the Jonathan Calleri thread make that 1m

I'm concerned and it can't not impact us.

If you offered me top half of the table now , I'd take it

 

[Justice]

I really don’t see Moises as a toy chucker, I read that article as he’s happy here but would also be happy if he ends up at Chelsea

I think his agent has a strong toy chucking gene though

His agent was naive the first time and tried to pressure TB he now has learnt his lesson and we haven’t heard a peep.

It's not lack of concern, more the general expectation that it's been coming since January and we're all just a little bored. We're not stupid, he's an insane talent, but I cannot and will not get my hopes up about him staying until Sept 1st.

 

[dwayne]

Wouldn't be disappointed if he picks up an injury now that keeps him out until 2nd September !!

The guys a machine though, never gets injured.

 

[Audax]

Nah! - wages can't be a problem - Fab Rom told us weeks ago that terms had been agreed, shirley!

It sounds like Chelsea know what they need to offer Caicedo to tempt him to agree to the move and they're willing to pay it. That's the wages side. The problem Chelsea *might* have is that the "budget" for a transfer includes both the transfer fee and the wages. If they've got a maximum they won't go over for the total budget of buying Caicedo (for whatever reason), and the wages side of it is high, they might be stuck in a corner where they can't offer enough for the transfer fee to tempt Bloom into saying yes.

It's plausible that they simply can't afford him within their current budget plans. Either they pay what Bloom wants and Caicedo turns them down because the wages aren't enough, or they offer Caicedo the wages he wants and they can't pay Bloom enough to get the transfer done.

 

[Greavsey]

Unfortunately I can see this one running until the close of the transfer window in terms of Fab stoking the rumour fire. However, I can't see us entertaining the prospect of selling him once the season is up and running.

Additionally, I think in the next week or so we will give up on Colwill and go for one of our other left footed CB targets which makes Chelsea's bargaining position weaker.

Utterly tedious.

This interview was conducted about 5 days ago.

'talks underway' ..... You told us the talks were underway weeks ago!!!

just changes the words everytime and makes our its news

f***ing hell - the talks between Brighton and Chelsea have been going on as long as Boehly’s owned them.

In that interview he says he’s calm no matter what happens, but of course that’s not a headline for Fab so yeah just leave that out of the tweet…

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

God has said he can’t leave for a deal less than £100m with a large chunk of that upfront

Actually, the large proportion up front, will probably put them over the FFP requirements, result in a 25 point deduction, and we’ll comfortably finish above them again.

Great strategy.

One competitor down

That tweet re the interview also takes the response out of context to the question, which was 'Is Chelsea a team that you like/liked'.

Only media hype, and possible leaks from Chelsea. From that perspective it has been going on a lot of the summer.

Since Paul Barber was appointed, I can barely remember any attributable leaks from our end. Actually, quite impressive…

Offset against his bottle top policy

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

f***ing hell - the talks between Brighton and Chelsea have been going on as long as Boehly’s owned them.

To be fair have you seen the lengths of his emails on trivial matters..

 

[Hiheidi]

This is probably the nub of Romano's repetitive Tweets - just keeping his Chelsea contact sweet.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

Fabrizio and his ilk are pure bottom feeding scum.

 

[Weststander]

I fully accept that players move on.

But in both January and now, imho Caicedo’s a mouthy twat at times. He’s under contract, he’s been treated well, so show respect. He can declare his faux lifelong passion for Chelsea and the VIP section of London nightclubs once he’s left us.

Twice he’s done this now. Mac Allister kept his gob shut until he signed for his new club.
