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

[Eeyore]

Am I right in thinking nobody actually knows our valuation of Caicedo, do they?

I've obviously seen £100 million bandied about, but as far as I know, the exact figure has not come from the club. It came from the Telegraph.

Interested clubs will not know our valuation because it has not been published.

Something that has not been mentioned, is that every time a club puts in a lower offer that is rejected, it might unsettle the player or players who currently hold that position in the buying club. By not disclosing the price he would accept, Bloom may encourage a bidding war.

There's a lot to be said for his negotiating strategy.

I think the £100m thingy has been banded about by journalists who normally make you think that it could be correct. I think Naylor was one of them.

It may be that the club have let that one out deliberately.

Wasn’t there something from the club (PB possibly) linking his value to the Rice deal ?

Not sure. 95% of the stuff I read is ignored as tosh. But for some reason I've felt the £100m thing is probably correct. I can't remember the original source.

I'm pretty sure I remember that as well, although I expect I read it in a newspaper report.

If you can trust it, this link from Nigeria a month ago, reports the Guardian as saying 105m for Rice is the benchmark:

Transfer: Chelsea decide on matching Brighton’s £100m asking price for Moises Caicedo

Chelsea are not willing to meet Brighton’s £100 million asking price for Moises Caicedo. Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino is keen to bolster his

Nope! Distant two year old mention that other transfers affect the price of BHA players bought and sold. Otherwise only mention is £70 million buys half a M. Caceido. All seems to be newspaper guesswork without sources. Guesswork w/o economic reality, length of contracts etc.

I would love Todd and Winstanley to be having a similar conversation right now.

Todd….we need to pay Brighton’s price, don’t we ?
Winstanley…..hang on, that’s £100m, isn’t it ?
Todd….well, you said it was.
Winstanley….no, you said it was.

Todd and Winstanley…..fuckkkkkkkk

Unless TB has put a cut off date for this transfer I am certain that Chelsea will stump up whatever TB is asking at the 11th hour

Really think TB wouldn’t let it get to that, in fact it wouldn’t have surprised me if this week is the cut off.

On that subject, I really like what Bayern have done with Spuds/Levy. Give the deal a deadline and move on if the other club does not respond. This weekly incremental increase of a few million is getting on everyone’s nerves. They need an extra £25m or they can **** off. Hopefully you are right about TB.

 

[Live by the sea]

I agree no point selling Moises and not having a replacement and with pre season almost done , integrating a new player will be difficult to do quickly.

Could be Man City..,they did bid for rice after all (Man City ITK account on twitter expecting business with brighton).

This one is more likely Palmer to us.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Yes would be a good one as well

He has commented to say 1 in 1 out.

If we HAD to sell caciedo I would take Philips in return on loan.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Has he left yet?

 

[Nottseagull]

I think he would. The later a satisfactory offer is made, the more game time we'll have got out of Moises.

Hmm, that could be Moises or could be Kaoru or Julio... I hope it's none of them!
