Special Juan

Exactly- If they want a bidding war you don't go up against us.

The desire of a player is also massive. Like alluded to by someone IE Harry Kane, if the desire is to choose one or the other it's all on the player

We outbid them for Lavia and they outbid us for Caicedo- This is simply a game of tactical moves- I can bid for a Ferrari this afternoon, doesn't mean I have the cash or it will get accepted

Confirmed no bid from Liverpool by Ben Jacobs, they like Caicedo but the price is too much

It's just Liverpool jousting, they cannot afford Caicedo and they haven't even bid apparently

Tyler Adams here we go

Medical today for Tyler Adams

Liverpool have outbid us for Caicedo says Matt Law which explains the Lavia bid

Don't cloud your head space too much, there will be a method in the madness- It's a bit like playing a lucky lucky man on the market. One big game of chess

Rumours are we have met Adams release clause of 20M

All on Kane now, will he bottle it and settle for mediocrity

According to Ben Jacobs Caicedo is in addition to Lavia

Ornstein- Bayern have reached an agreement with Spurs for Kane

City want Paqueta and looks like a bit of a sweetener will be Cole Palmer going to WHU on loan.

Sounds like Kepa to Bayern is really moving forward- loan with option to buy.

Could be some real substance in the noises that we have pushed some cash from the Livramento sale back to Southampton as a softener for Lavia

Lavia has nothing to do with Caicedo, it’s like moving chess pieces. Gallagher will go, watch this space

Big movements today

By the way and just to add it’s took again for Behdad to get involved he’s been the driving force in negotiations the last 48 hrs

You couldn’t be more wrong mate, honestly. The deal is very close to being all wrapped up. Barring a complete disaster this is done deal.

It’s been apparently really positive the last two days. Brighton have some what gone into their shell due to Caicedo stamping his feet and they are now backed into a corner. It’s causing friction behind the scenes and it’s been agreed now he has to go. Expectimg things to progress tonight into tomorrow

Jacob Steinberg just said what I mentioned earlier, the deal is close for Caicedo

Random one- Ross Barkley has joined Luton😁

I trust them- Plus they also said "The end is in sight, small details now this offer will be accepted"

Little bit of news on Caicedo-apparently the offer we are lodging tonight/tomorrow is in the region of 90M plus around 8-10M in add ons. Apparently Caicedo has completely downed tools- Brighton had a team photo shoot today and he refused point blank to be involved in it. De Zerbi wants this solved by the end of the week one way or another, he has laid this bare to the owners. The situation is affecting the players and staff and it's getting to a point now where there is just constant talk around the training ground. I'm not going divulge where this has come from because I don't need too, but this is a close to what is happening as I have been told.
