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

[Motogull]

If true, isn’t this the bidding war we’ve been waiting for?

No, because bidding wars do not exist.

Not even Boley is that stupid.

 

[Silverhatch]

I'm a bit lost with this one now.

Are there 2 new bidders now?
A PL club and a Saudi club?

Same thing.., Chelsea (or Newcastle)

 

[um bongo molongo]

The least worse option would be He goes to Saudi for 150 million with us getting a 25% sell on fee.


Oh, and free petrol for every STH for life.
if accept his leaving then.

Well yes. But I can’t see the Saudi thing happen. I do tend to believe Naylor on these things given how cautious he is (more so than Sky). So I reckon an £80m+ bid from unnamed PL source is correct. The Saudi thing may or may not be. You then have to wonder which big 6 PL club we are ‘friendly’ enough to be playing along with the unnamed business. City or Liverpool I reckon. Definitely not Chelsea, or Arsenal after their Jan pursuit. United aren’t smart enough. And Spurs not really big 6 are they?

 

[Easy 10]

I think even I who detests summer as the height of misery (Cheerful, i know) would take the money and spend a year in that horrible, hot, hot place. I could then retire to snowier climes and live as happily as my disposition could allow.

As mentioned elsewhere, if you want your filthy arab dough tax free, you have to be there 2 years minimum.

 

[Eric the meek]

I hope that at the end of all this, Caicedo makes the right decision and is going to be OK. At the start of the year, he was in turmoil.

I know it's all about the money, but sometimes it isn't.

Don’t think so. You need to be out of the uk for a full tax year - so it could be almost two years if you get the timing wrong I guess. You can still travel anywhere else, and spend up to 91 days in the UK in any tax year so it wouldn’t be a massive hardship for a few months to avoid losing 45% of your hard-earned.

Admittedly just regurgitating what I heard on a pod the other week, I haven't done a deep dive into the taxation laws of the middle east. But it did say 2 years minimum over there for a tax free bingo.

 

[Cordwainer]

Sorry didn't think.

Thanks..an excellent read, as, I think, is this

Kylian Mbappé to Saudi talks show football is now poker for world’s richest

Al-Hilal’s £259m offer is just diplomacy between states disguised as transfer gossip. No wonder he’s not keen ...

It’s the UK tax laws, not theirs………

They can have the tax, i can't deal with that weather for two years.

'Brighton. Once you realise that The Brighton Chairman is called The Lizard. Tony 'the Lizard" Bloom. That tells you quite a lot. He is a professional gambler and he is all about brinksmanship and being perceived as being Cunning. He's a grubby little jewish trader. Roman would have brought him in line. Alas, we have Clearlake Todd and Co. now and so it seems we are taking the lizard seriously. Bloom is a showman and he likes the media attention he's getting. For now.'

I don't know about you but I find that obnoxious!

Obnoxious is generous. That's plain antisemitic.

Given one of our Chelsea guests is called Gordon Celery, is it fair to suspect they are the same person?

No, Chelsea have a chant about celery. It’s a common trope for them.

 

[basque seagull]

They want a champions league spot or four. That would be my guess. Aussies are in Eurovision.

Saudi clubs play in the Asian Champions League. Al Hilal are regular winners. I doubt they could play in the European Champions League.

Infantino might be rubbing his hands though. A boost for his unnecessary club World Cup perhaps.

And misses the irony of Abramovic also being a Jew!

The bit about Bloom liking the media attention

 

[sparkie]

It’s the UK tax laws, not theirs………

UK tax laws would be irrelevant to an Ecuadorian working in Saudi though ?

No, Chelsea have a chant about celery. It’s a common trope for them.

And as per usual, Chelsea stole the celery song from Brighton ….
