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

You have a very low opinion of Bloom and Barber.

All part of the game. It's not dirty just a little sneaky.

Since 2001 (when Caicedo was born)

Chelsea
Premier League wins: 5
Champions League wins: 2 (from 3 final appearances)
FA Cup wins: 5 (from 10 appearances)

Liverpool
Premier League wins: 1
Champions League wins: 2 (from 5 final appearances)
FA Cup wins: 3 (from 4 appearances)

Over his lifetime, Chelsea have been more successful and with a lot of Liverpool's success skewing later (their prem win and 3 of their CL finals were in the last 5 years), most of Liverpool's success has been later and Chelsea's has been during/closer to his more formative years in football.

Plus, as others have said, more money and London.

All of that but also as Tim Vickery said, Ngolo Kante is his hero so he grew up watching a lot of Chelsea and they also have a Spanish speaking South American, big name manager.

I know we don’t like Chelsea, I can’t stand them, and to me they are no where near the size and class of United, Liverpool or Arsenal but to a lot of foreign and British kids (including mine) they are a really big club.

Bayern now in too!

 

[Marshy]

At this point anyone but Chelsea

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Sky have just reported that Bayern Munich are allegedly in for him too!

 

[Maximus]

SSN reporting Bayern are now interested. Trust in Uncle Tony

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

So Bayern interested as well then. Makes sense, Tuchel did want Rice previously.

 

[The Wizard]

All part of the game. It's not dirty just a little sneaky.

We don’t want to sell, so why would we leak a fake deal that makes it more likely Chelsea will bid what we want?

Some people seem to be going with the fact we WANT to sell Moises for 100m, that isn’t the case but being Brighton, all our players have a price on their head, everyone involved in the club knows that. Sad, but true.

 

[Acker79]

I think I might be interested in putting a bid in for Caicedo.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Bayern please!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Surprised about the rumoured Liverpool bid.

When they were linked with Bellingham it was Klopp (I think) stated that such money was available but they were reluctant to chuck it at one player.

 

[Smithy]

Go Bayern.

 

[trueblue]

Liverpool really need a player in the Caicedo mould and, as the window's gone on, that's become more urgent with other departures. Will serve Chelsea right if messing around all summer comes back to bite them. I wonder if they're getting cold feet on the financial front anyway... could see them using funds to panic buy another striker now Nkunku is out for a while.

 

[Maximus]

Seems that there's lots of smoke this morning. I don't think anyone can see Liverpool paying what we would expect to receive. If Kane does go to BM, would they be able to afford another signing of that size?
So will today be the day that Chelsea finally put the rumoured 'acceptable' offer of £100m+ in? Or will they wait it out and hope we blink first?

Surprised about the rumoured Liverpool bid.

When they were linked with Bellingham it was Klopp (I think) stated that such money was available but they were reluctant to chuck it at one player.

That was pre Henderson and Fabinho to the Gilead league though, (I think) so they've plenty of cash for transfers and wages.

 

[SUIYHP]

Why on earth would he prefer Chelsea?

Isn’t he supposedly a Man U fan? It may be less what Chelsea offers and more who Liverpool are.

 

[trueblue]

What would be funnier? Caicedo coming off the bench for Liverpool against Chelsea on Sunday - or Thomas Tuchel screwing over Boehly by nicking him for Bayern? If he's got to go, at least those options are amusing.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Ffs this stinks of a Brighton leak to get the deal moving again

Yeah, right. This is the only transfer deal where the name of a bidding club is known. All of the others are completely anonymous including the Chelsea bids which only you and I know about.

 

[dwayne]

Yeah, right. This is the only transfer deal where the name of a bidding club is known. All of the others are completely anonymous including the Chelsea bids which only you and I know about.

I'm absolutely convinced we are behind these leaks. We've now sprinkled a little Bayern on top.

Chelsea player in the next 48 hours as much as I hate to say it
