I tell you what will happen: tomorrow we will announce Sanchez, place our final bid for Caicedo on sunday for 95 plus 5 that will be rejected, then we walk away, buy Adams in the meantime (which is a target in addition to Caicedo) and go back to Caicedo on deadline day just like Enzo. You heard it here first

Yep, youngers can be loaned infinitely

First team signings are just more complicated. Just look at Liverpool - they still havent got a DM yet, even tho Lavia loves them. Youngsters are way easier to sign bc u dont have to face bitchy clubs like Brighton or Southampton.

Caicedo was never about money.

At least not as bad as Raya or Kepa lol

Sanchez vs. Ramsdale 2021/22:

That narrative of Sanchez being Brightons natural 3rd GK is just unfair. He has been their nr. 1 GK for 2 1/2 years, being part of that advancement of Brightons. Even last season he was their nr. 1 GK for the first 22 games before he fell out with De Zerbi. Its not like hes Brightons Bettinelli. Sanchez market value is €22m. Thats the updated value from june. We basically pay what he is worth. Ramsdale was hella expensive considering the circumstances. That guy was at Bournemouth - got relegated. Went to Sheffield the following year - got relegated AGAIN, before going to Arsenal for €28m. A lot of money for someone who got relegated 2 times in a row.

Tomorrow

Brighton is getting nervous lol. A lot of "leaked" info by their club journos recently to put us under pressure. Secret bid, expect to stay blabla. They want us to pay now to have enough time to find a replacement. Dont forget that Tony Bloom is a poker player - he loves the bluffs

People on twitter say its 50%. So 17,5m out of nowhere. Not too bad if its really 50.

Sanchez will be on a lot less wages than Kepa. So I think the plan is to sell Kepa next year for that 20-30m and get a number 1 goalkeeper. So we would have a nr 2 on reasonable wages. Kepa is earning too much be be a nr. 2 keeper.

Saaame 😭 Doing deals quickly with Brighton, Im amazed

My respect to all Australians here having to watch Chelsea late at night all the time. Couldnt do that all year

Yaay

lame

So we need to win the pens in order to have that 11 years statistic?

Mericans just hate draws

penalties for what

Gusto needs to start against Pool.

Penalty not given, no offside call - referee is german no?

Seems like these Vlahovic talks influenced Jacksons confidence.

Gusto better than James atm?
