FrankLampard007 18 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We should rather give Real 100m for Tchouaméni or Camavinga than giving 80m to Brighton for Caicedo. Another alternative would be Lavia and Veiga for something like 80-90m. But please go away from Caicedo and Brighton who want to fk us up. Caicedo is not worth more than 60m. In 2 years we would sell him for 25m when Santos, Chukwuemeka, Casadei are in their prime time. enzoforever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,763 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I don't understand the logic of entertaining bids for Connor when there's no midfielder remotely looking like coming in bigbluewillie, Stats and King Kante 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 8 hours ago, Gundalf said: Better keep him as midfielder nr5. than sell him for peanuts in this overinflated market, which 37m really is. We dont need money. Better have a HG player as emergency backup than a non HG tbh. We cant sell all our HGs. People wanna sell Chalobah, Gallagher, Sterling, we sold Mount, RLC, will sell CHO. We only have 6 HGs left: James, Chalobah, Chilwell, Sterling, Gallagher, Broja. If we sell Gallagher and send Broja on loan its 4. So basically we can only have a 21 man squad, leaving no room for Kudus, Cherki, another GK and so on. At least the club targets Olise, who is homegrown. We need to keep that HG situation in mind, especially when people talk about selling Chalobah and Sterling. We have a lot of players that are under 21 which makes it kinda save for this season - but we gotta watch out for that Betinelli is HG. Colwill, Hall, Maatsen, Chukwu, Madueke are all also HGs, we are covered in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artandur 939 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 How on earth can you reject 42+5 for Gallagher. I totally get the hard stance we've been taking to get the right amount out of our sales, but that is take-it-and-run kinda money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,730 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 And now Lavia talks are on going with Liverpool as of last night- player has given the green light and deal expected to happen very quickly. DH1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea_4_eva 1,186 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I actually want to see a "senior" midfielder come in before we sell Gallagher, or at least have agreed terms with. Enzo will be our only senior midfielder left and just worry that other clubs will raise their price because we are looking. sainttourist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,730 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I cannot for the life of me understand what the fuck the people behind the scenes are doing🤷♀️ Every season it's either an absolute shit show of a pre-season or it's some sort of transfer wrangle. Poch said the other day that the club are pushing for signings, but to me it seems we are behind a brickwall and we cannot do anything else until this whole joke of a saga with Caicedo is completed/ended. It really is getting worrying. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,255 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We’re going to end up panic buying some bang average DM at the end of the window at this point, ffs. Every other rival manager getting their top targets in and getting them in early whilst we have a brand new manager and are coming off a disastrous season and we still haven’t provided him with the most important signing that the squad desperately needs.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Selling Chalobah or Gallagher is understandable in isolation but doing so without replacements lined up after the predictable Caicedo snag and the Fofana injury while continuously shopping for attacking players like Kudus, Cherki (esp after securing all the Brazilians ) is asking for trouble. Our squad is so top-heavy already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,139 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Tbh 100% agreed it is time for our scouting team to earn their money. Caicedo is brilliant but come on, there is another 2 or 3 people like him at least who have not been discovered and brought to a top team yet for sure - and more arriving every year as new talent appears. Don't know about Boudaoui but I 100% guarantee there are many players that are affordable and bring us everything we need in the aggregate (running, pressing, tackling, interceptions, passing). A <£50m player should be more than enough given Enzo's presence. Remember our first pick was Ugarte, Caicedo was our backup option. enzoforever and xPetrCechx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,255 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ourselves and Liverpool both entered the window needing complete midfield rebuilds.

Brilliant… Yeah, I assume Lavia and Liverpool have actually had an agreement for a while which is why no one else ended up going for him. Painful we've not got someone in by now. I reckon we should just get Amadou Onana, he is versatile AF and a big beast of a man, and likely to be vastly more sensibly priced. Even if we get Caicedo later, a midfield of Enzo, Caicedo, Onana and Santos would be a really good mix, and getting him (or someone similar) sorted takes us from a position of weakness to a position of strength in these negotiations so we can let this run til deadline day if needed.

If we were willing to go there, we should have done it already and given him a proper preseason with us. That would be ultimate shameful panic that would prove our staff don't know what they're doing. I don't believe it will happen. enzoforever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason the likes of Caicedo, Rice, and Lavia have had every big club super keen to sign them whilst nobody is seriously after Onana. He’s not a top player. I’d be extremely let down if we had to settle for him. He’s physically impressive and a nice player but he doesn’t take our team up a level, imo. Caicedo would make our midfield world class. As would Barella. We need someone awesome not someone merely okay. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
