Only if Liverpool walk away. If they are still interested then no, we shouldn't

Liverpool should walk away and throw as much of that £111m as needed at Bayern Munich and try to sign Kimmich.

If they don't sign a decent DM before the deadline they're in for a tricky season.

i really hope we do the right thing - and honour the deadline and auction that Liverpool won. Not keen on either Liverpool or Chelsea but you cant set a deadline, have an auction and then start accepting bids after the auction has been won by someone else. TB needs to tell Moises (who is frankly now a major dickhead in my book) and his leeches that its Liverpool or he is going nowhere.
He’s a human, not a house. If Caicedo can’t agree terms with Liverpool, then the bid becomes meaningless. The chances at this point of us wanting to keep him, given all the disruption he’s caused and his agents would clearly continue to cause, has got to be close to zero.

Question: Should we accept Chelsea's £115m bid, if it were to be the case?
I wouldn't, but I can be a vindicitive prick at times.

If this agent is the cause of all the troubles, as rumour and common sense would seem to suggest; well, we already have a brilliant, record breaking offer accepted. Is it worth rewarding this outrageous behaviour for the sake of the value we bought Moises? I say no. If they don't make a truly earth-sharttering offer now, Chelsea can go hang.

He is a commodity the minute he signs that contract. In reality he has no say where he goes under strict interpretation!

Maybe you accept Chelsea's £115m and give Liverpool £4m of it to apologise?
In what way are we honour bound to Liverpool? We’ve simply given them permission to speak to a player we effectively ‘own’ and agreed the compensation. The rest is up to them.

I Actually Anticipated this bidding war not between Liverpool and Chelsea but Arsenal and chelsea, that would've been spicy after Mudryk.
There's time yet!!
They will have been told in no uncertain terms that any bid below the Liverpool one will be rejected out of hand ?
But do they actually listen to what they are being told?
But his Agent did encourage Liverpool to make a bid.

From Dave Maddock (respected journalist in the North)

"But late into the night they received encouragement to make a formal offer from the player’s representatives"
Probably in order to force a higher bid from Chelsea, on which they will get a bigger cut.

Sure, but we can’t force him to play to his best if he stays, particularly as the manager’s already made his feelings clear. No point watching his value diminish before the whole farce begins again in January.

If you set up an auction with rules, then the players, Bayen, Pool and Chelsea agreed with the terms set. You honour the auction. Your suggestion that we disrespect Liverpool (all the while the bid is live) is abysmal.

So the agent manges to piss off us, Liverpool and Chelsea in the same transfer.

That's impressive.

It wont diminish but his reputation will!

Supposedly you held an auction with a fixed end time which they won. If you auction something on eBay and then refuse to send it to the winning bidder you will rightly get reported to eBay etc. You should at least pretend to send him to Anfield (mislabel the Evri parcel he's shipped in or something) before selling him to Chelsea.
