Declan Rice’s £105m move from West Ham to Arsenal has set a precedent. (via @samcunningham) Fuck ‘em move on. Either he submits transfer request or we move on mkh and Vegetable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 One of the important prerequisites for a good season has always been to get your players on time . Apart from Caicedo, no other real target has been mentioned like another midfielder(s) or goalkeeper . xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,539 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Caicedo,nobody is paying more than we are willing too so leave the 70-80m whatever it is on the table and leave them stew after making it clear we will withdraw it at any time,then focus on other midfielders etc...we need more than one egg in the basket.nobody else is gonna pay more for their one. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whats happening 1,618 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 my guess is as the time goes on, they will lower the price but i am not sure if we can wait until the last weeks of august. also, if we dont pay the asking price now and after 6 months or a year he leaves for 60-70m and be good, it will really sting. and i will hate brighton even more.

Did they? They know we act like children in the fog, get shafted by clubs on nearly every occasion and have strange soft spot for Brighton and will buy any snake oil from them at any price. Any reasonable club will make use of it. Especially that we don't seem to have Plan C in terms of MF (as he seems to be Plan B). Or any plan at all to be precise, given we pushed Havertz and Azpi to model for new kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop that money off at the Bernabeu for one of their midfield options. Enough of the games at this point. bluesman2610 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 You guys are really bad at poker arent you? Again u are falling for PR stunts. U did in on Mount and now again. Ofc "Brighton sources" (lol) push the message of "give us 100 or leave" - they know we want Caicedo for our US tour so they are putting the pressure up, just like United did. Keep calm and dont fall for that. I called it for Mount and I will do it again: in the end it will be 85+x for Caicedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That figure isn't good value either. £85m and not a penny more is pushing it as is. Also, I don't wanna hear about Rice as a comparison. bigbluewillie and mkh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 For me Ceicedo is worth £80M max including add ons. More than that would be too much for me. mkh and Norfolkblue1961 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetable 830 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Make it 60 and we are back in realm of reality, expensive, but reality. Some lessons should be learnt from our previous genius Brighton purchases… How much we wanted for Mount vs how much United offered vs how much he is gone for?

We absolutely can’t wait. All of our rivals have their sets more or less settled already bar one or two deals. We still need 3-4 players in to be competitive.

One man's trash is other man's treasure, we love seeing our players as unfit for even the sunday league level, but I don't think Rice is like million levels above Mount or Havertz, not to mention anyone coming from Brighton… This reminds me of everyone going apeshit over Raphinia a little bit. Some clubs will let themselves be pushed over, some will not. I can see De Laurentis selling Mount for 80 and getting Caicedo for 50 🤪 Edited July 10, 2023 by Vegetable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with the target, but with the way business is being conducted - they want 100? Offer 85 and let everyone know you desperately need this player by friday and have absolutely zero alternative and it will end on 95 + bonuses. Laugh in their face and offer 20, it will end in 50 at best. Maybe they'll forget you are THE idiot who bought Cucurella for 60. It's not like City and Arsenal are waiting with their credit cards to snag him and if they will about to do this for ~70 like any club with dignity and sense of reasonability will, we can easily match it. Another question is whether this guy wants to come here or is indifferent but will happily do a fundraiser for his beloved Brighton. But yeah, we have already successfully pulled a bidding war with ourselves over Enzo, who had absolute zero offers and firm interest from other clubs, so the Chelsea way in action again I guess. Virtually no other top club is paying such shitloads of money, especially for players from mid-table teams who may turn out good, but may also not quite. Tchouaméni was 80 mil Euro, just to have a little comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 596 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Considering Arsenal made 3 bids for Caicedo in January and the last one was 65m pounds plus 5m bonus. I would definitely not pay more than 70m plus 5-10m bonus for Caicedo. As they have assured him that he can leave in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchouaméni was 80 mil Euro, just to have a little comparison. Arsenal had a 75m bid for Caicedo rejected in janaury and now they spent 105m for their plan B, coming from a club that was in relegation fight and no one calls them idiots. Is Rice really worth 30 millions more than Caicedo? Tchouaméni was a big big price considering he came from Ligue 1, also teams like Real or Barca always can buy cheaper because of their aura and players only want to go there. A club like Chelsea always has to pay more. Legit question: who would you buy at the moment? And dont say Tchouaméni - as if he would come to a team like us lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
