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

[Greg Bobkin]

It’s big business which engages football fans in the summer months and brings listener numbers and viewing numbers to Sky and the likes of TS. The smaller journalists have now took it upon themselves to wage a Twitter war with the likes of FR to prove who is more in the know, all a bit childish tbh.

I know WHY it exists, but it's still a load of old shite.

IMO, like.

Naylor didn't say that there had been no contact, he said that no deal had been agreed.

That, at the time, was probably and most likely accurate. And this is where people get the whole 'he comes out with rubbish' from - because they read what they want to read, and misunderstand what has actually been written. They assume that 'no deal agreed'='No contact' which is very similar to what happened with the club last year.

They said 'no deal agreed with any club for cucurella' - they never said 'we're not ever selling him'.

it was a subtle change in reporting at that point which Chelsea fans struggled with. a week prior he had been saying no contact then the day before it completed he tweeted nothing had been agreed. I think at both points the info he was putting out was correct

 

[Wozza]

Exactly, which is why you get chancers such as Romano and countless transfer rumour sites and 'experts' making shit up. Shit that, a lot of the time, comes to nothing.

He's not "making shit up". He's blatantly fed info from agents.

Er, I could almost guarantee that some 'experts' make up transfer rumours. Not so much Romano, but other jokers who have 15 followers on Twitter and a MySpace page.

Well, obviously. But you were referring to Romano, with 15.8 million followers.

 

[trueblue]

I have an ever growing dislike and disdain for Romano so could you give a bit of background to this saga please?

Looks like he's reacting to them saying he gets paid by agents to put this stuff out there. Unsubstantiated certainly but quite odd to start getting lawyers to throw their weight about for something like that. Therefore, we should probably say there is no proof of those allegations whatsoever. However, there is quite a lot of proof that the guy is a self-obsessed bellend.

I was referring to all of them.

 

[Hiheidi]

Interesting, Fulham pricing Palhinha at £90 million.

 

[nwgull]

He certainly gets info, but I’m equally sure that he guesses some stuff. For example, he tweeted 2-3 weeks ago that BHA were ‘preparing’ a bid of 40m for Colwill. This was almost certainly guessing based on us having had 30m rejected. There’s no way BHA are going to be sharing their next move with anyone, let alone him.

How long does it take to prepare a bid anyway? The transfer window has been open a week now, so maybe he guesses wrong.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

They’ll look elsewhere, see that everyone else is also holding them to ransom, and then eventually pay us what we want.

See: Enzo Fernandez

Bloom wants £120m. I simply can't see Chelsea paying that unless it's a player plus cash deal. Its a hands off valuation and we would clearly like to keep him.

 

[Wozza]

So you think someone with 15 followers has the same sources, publishing strategy and, ultimately, credibility as someone with literally ONE MILLION times as many followers?!

I'm no fan of Romano either, but come on?!

 

[Weststander]

Er, I could almost guarantee that some 'experts' make up transfer rumours. Not so much Romano, but other jokers who have 15 followers on Twitter and a MySpace page.

And before that the tabloids, including ‘adored’ Martin Samuel and John Cross. None of the journalistist checking to two sauces etc.

Pre internet I used to be a sucker for the newspaper transfer rumours. It took years to realise that come the end of a window, the Mirror/Scum/Express/Mail/People had got about 99% entirely wrong. Samuel, Cross, Custis, Woolnough were either blatant liars or relaying lies.

He might like to get £120M, but he won't, whatever people with blue and white tinted spectacles are fantasising about. Chelsea won't (can't) pay that, nor will anybody else. I (and you and everybody else) don't know what was agreed when he was persuaded to sign his new contract. Hopefully it wasn't another Mac Allister type deal!
But surely the agreement would have included some kind of 'won't stand in your way' kind of arrangement - and demanding £120M woiuld be doing exactly that. The Albion are better than that.

No. No I don't.

Is there any actual evidence that Bloom wants £120m ?

Unless he says so himself I'd file it under 'Tosh'.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Palhinha is a good player but only has 3/4 years left at his peak. Moises hasn't even shown his final form and is a better player.

Less than £100m would be poor business IMO.

No one will have a direct quote from Bloom about how much we want for a player but Naylor has said in The Athletic we want at least £100m. That’s as close to actual evidence anyone is going to get when it comes to asking price for a player.

Threatening potential legal action because someone on the Internet criticises them for something.

What a bellend. The sign of deep insecurity and inadequacy.

I wonder if he or his people monitor this site?

made up by agents, made up by him, what does it matter when its still such low signal to noise guff.

Palhinha‘s 28 next month - £90m
Rice 24 - £100m
Caicedo 21 - sky’s the limit

West Ham and Fulham are inadvertently helping TB here.
