I would have nothing but pleasure in seeing us walk away from the Caicedo deal because Brighton are trying to rip us off 

They know it worked last year. Whoever is dealing with negotiations needs to make a final offer and say, take it or leave it.  

We don't need this dragging on because Brighton keeps moving the goalposts, from the sounds of things.

Quite rightly it seems like we’ll give him this season to see if he can be the player we bought from Brighton where he was great. He couldn’t have just become a shit player overnight. There’s a very good player in there and we should give him a chance.

Or there's a fairly average player there who was bought off the back of their standout season that they may struggle to replicate again.

We've just seen ourselves Mendy head down a similar trajectory.

Florentino Luís from Benfica we have not been linked but a player linked to Pool, Barca, United, etc.

Lets reunite him with Enzo.

There are other options beside Caicedo, but we keep wasting our time if Brighton keep moving the post.

Time to start slapping in bids for alternatives , Kone , onana, Thuram , luis, lavia 

need to get a settled squad early with all these departures.

Last season 38 games, 18 goals and 8 assists. For £12m it's a no brainer surely.

12m euros, only £10m

According to Fabrizio Romano, we are waiting for Ziyech, Pulisic and Aubameyang to be sold before making moves for other offensive players. Still, something must be done about the midfield. It's ok to focus on Caicedo for now, but we need at least one more midfielder, so that has to be done quickly.

The sources of our impatience might Arsenal's quick moves and the endless departures from our squad. But still, to increase your chances at being somehow successful next season, you have to move fast.

Our recruitment team is known for spotting youth talent. Asking them to sign experienced players is like asking me to date MILF. 

Halle Berry at 45 years old

which is 10 or so years older than when women start to be called MILFs (hell, I have seen 30 year olds called MILFs)

(she turns 57 next month)

I don't get why we haven't put in a bid for Lavia yet.   What is there to lose from putting in a 40+ million bid for Lavia? 

Seems like we're putting all our eggs in one basket for Caicedo and Brighton will just milk us for an extra 20 million.

Jeez, I didn’t realize Dybala is nearly 30. Feels like he’s been around forever but I figured he was still like 25 or something. 

he had turned 24 less than 3 months before I joined this board

The price for Lavia that is being spoken about is 51M

[Mhsc 1,091]

Maybe there is a sort of Mexican stand off around Lavia in that loads of clubs want him but none want to start a bidding war where Soton bid us against each other to inflate the price. Perhaps Lavia needs to pick the club he wants (like Caicedo did) and simplify matters.

Apparently it is not so simple with caicedo...
