Trying to fathom why his agent keeps telling him he is going to Chelsea when they have not had a bid accepted.

That was about what we paid for Caicedo in the first place, so not a sum to be sniffed at!

'Sources' have been saying that for a day and a half now. When are they going to actually cough up?

Aspinall stated post match this evening that the agents prevented MC from talking to Liverpool on Friday, the feeling within the Albion people he spoke to and his own … because they’re getting a much greater agents fee.
(The owners intervened, Winstanley out of the discussions).

Agents in the modern era also receive fees directly from clubs.
LFC might be offering £5m, Chavs £20m.
THE game changer.
The grand totals by club per season are made public at some stage. The Chavs will be vast.
It does say ‘including add-ons’. I doubt we’ll ever know which was the better deal overall, once those variables are taken into account. Pretty sure the Liverpool deal was reported by reputable sources to include a sizeable sell-on clause, for instance. That might be gone now.

He's world class, and we've got c£90m out of him in two years. Buying cheap and selling high is our model, and Moises has surpassed everyone else on that front.

I have no doubt that you are right but that is all moot when we have not received an acceptable offer from the Chavs.

The moment Boehly/Romano/2-greedy-agents when into $$$$$$$ overdrive yesterday breakfast time the game was up.
Caicedo is the difference between challenging for the title and mid table obscurity. Their CB’s have absolutely no cover.
Cntstanley will crack open some Bollingers seeing this as a major coup for him. But every layman here knew he was the best DM in the sport, so no great spot there. It took a colossal fee to the agent and £115m to beat everyone else. That’s all.

Would Liverpool not have a complaint case against the agents in that situation?
I reckon with bids north of £100m and a player being a twat the priority now is just to get him out the door.
So 8 year contract. 115m. Hopefully a decent sell on clause. Frankly an AMAZING deal for us.

It won’t be any less than Liverpool offered.
Newspapers today were repeating the Twitter story that Boehly and Eghbali had personally stepped in to get this sorted, which suggests there was some truth in that. Winstanley and his Co-sporting director has previously been handling it. He might not have much to celebrate.

I’d still wait until Monday to accept
The headline figure might not be. The structure of the deal - we just don’t know and may not even be able to quantify. If there are conditional add-ons included, we’d have to be able to see into the future to be certain.
As long as Chelsea are in the same ballpark fee-wise, just can’t see us rejecting it and risk being stuck with the player. RDZ’s comments have made it pretty clear there’s no way back.

Yep, he absolutely didn’t do the deal.
But the arse licking sycophant will fist pump with “Tim … you’re the man!” Then bathe in reflected glory.
