Gundalf

If its 2 months, he would only miss 7 games, 6 of which against opponents that a Chelsea team should be able to beat without him.

Thats why I actually support the club buying so many youngsters at a relatively low prize. Even if they dont turn out as the real deal, u can still sell them with a profit, bc the overall market will inflate over the next few years and if they turn out great u saved a lot of money and u dont have to deal with clubs like Brighton or Inter who love to squeeze u for every pound possible and let u wait till deadline day.

There will be tough competition in midfield. The ones that prevail will play, the others will get sold with a profit. Win win

Bc our mindset is still a few years back. 100m for players like Caicedo is the new normal. The market is inflating and with Saudi coming in its only going to be worse. 100m for someone like Caicedo will be considered cheap in 5 years.

Doubt there will be anything before wednesday or thursday

Even Fabrizio is fed up with this 🤣

Moises on strike?

Mitoma, Kudus, Pedro, Brighton is here to stay in the top 6

Im pretty sure this will be our lineup:

Biggest fanbase, most famous even in "non football countries" and highest market value with Real:

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.
