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

[Napper]

Put on the spot about whether he likes Chelsea, Caicedo said: "It's a big team, that's true. A very historic team and I can't say No, because it's a very big, historic, beautiful team. The city as well is beautiful. It's got everything beautiful."



It’s starting . 100% his Toys will be coming out the pram if the move stalls too long

It'll be an accounting thing. But yeah, I just can't see it either. If they kept him 5 years, that extra £10-£20m they're refusing to pay up front is only £2-£4m per year on the accounting books. Wonder if it's a case of they have a budget of, say £170 million over 8 years to buy Caicedo and they've backed themselves into a corner having discovered that he's only willing to move to them if they spunk most of it on his wages (~£83m over 8 years if the £200k/week is correct), and they've now not got enough left to pay the actual transfer fee that Bloom is holding out for.

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

Perhaps however I still think Moises struggles with English to a degree. If Chelsea stump up yes he is gone. If not Moises can throw a pool sized amount of toys.

Wish it would just get sorted either way now. Dragging on too long. Tony won't be messed around so stump up Chelsea or f off!

Dragging on? There has been almost zero noise about it. I don't know what there is to drag on.

Could well be that Tony will only compromise on his £100 million valuation if we get a separate deal for Colwill.

And Tony must have a cut off date after which a deal cannot be done. 1st August ? The start of the US tour ? I suspect Chelsea need to get a move on with meeting the price tag.

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…

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

Think you’re right, but you have to hope the agent learnt a lesson (and also Caicedo to a certain extent), in the January window.

Given Caicedo had only relatively recently signed with that agency at that point, I would suggest his agent came out of it with quite a lot of egg on his face.

Bloom and Barber are not people you try and pressure.

A few quotes from Moises in this...

Caicedo keeps calm and enjoys family time - as he tells of his affection for Albion

Moises Caicedo says he remains calm amid transfer talk.

He says he will listen to God and will do what God wants.
There’s a few on here with a direct line to the Almighty
Maybe you could have a word?
Cheers

Peter Ward’s opinion could be well worth listening to

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

Taken out of context and this could be a Donald Trump sentence. Try reading it in his voice and it's uncanny

Chelsea aren't the bigliest though.

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.

I think TB is holding out for a hero - that being Colwill.
We haven’t got a replacement for Cac and I think the only compromise TB would be prepared to make is getting Colwill in px. We would still need a Cac replacement (if there ever was such a thing) but I expect them to have someone hiding in the cupboard.

I don't think I've seen anyone say that they're not concerned, or that they'd prefer the £100M, just that we recognise where we are and how we operate and don't have the entitled fanbase of one or two others

He's definitely going to the USA in a few days, but who with will be very telling

If BHA overcome the loss of two world class midfielders then Bloom’s alchemy is unparalleled. The Europa League qualification has thrown a spoke in the club’s and Caicedo’s and his representatives’ plan, especially since Chelsea are not the club they were.

We all know that Moises is a Man Utd fan and always hoped to end up there. He will be on a pretty good wedge right now so may not see the rush to go anywhere. Man Utd may well come calling next year when the takeover is sorted and more funds are available.

You have to laugh at the Chelsea fans squealing about the fee don’t you. What part of “f*** Off!” don’t they understand?
