We've foiled our position. Brighton now know how much we have to spend so they will up their asking price on both Mac Allister and Caicedo. This is worse than when we failed to lure Dembele, Raphinha, De Ligt, Skriniar, Kimpembe, Lewandowski, Gnabry, Sane, etc. because Enzo actually wants to join us but we are toying with the asking price.
This, in every sense, is a calamity of business operations and I for one am losing every remaining ounce of optimism I have under Boehly's rule.
