Gundalf 806 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Whats your take on that? Would it be so much different than Enzo - Caicedo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The longer Caicedo saga goes on the more pressure on the player if we get him, people need to shit or get of the pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundalf 806 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Lavia was Liverpool bound since last season if u ask me. This guy loves these cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,282 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 the issue is not even the quality of lavia. the problem is that Chelsea have been looking at him for so many weeks and why haven't they put in a bid? we had more than enough time for that don't make any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other explanation other than that because there are 4-5 MUCH easier deals that we could’ve had wrapped up weeks ago. Poch/the club must rate Caicedo far higher than any of the alternatives.

If we don't will have any issues about injuries, I think its enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target the player u really believe in and dont buy people just for the sake of buying because they are cheapaer and getting numbers in. Because this approach got us the likes of Drinkwater or Bakayoko. I think we underestimated how bitchy these Brighton cunts are tho. But I would rather have Caicedo on deadline day than someone else now. Edited July 26, 2023 by Gundalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,098 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Guess as long as Caicedo is training well and being professional they’re content to ride til deadline day and see if we come with a bigger offer, gives them time & a strong negotiating position both in terms of selling him and buying his replacement. Wonder if the club is genuinely looking at Maatsen, Cucurella, Reese and Colwill and saying actually a lot of these guys can play in midfield with Enzo and Santos and we shouldn’t feel the pressure at all? Meanwhile Poch has clear public stance we need at least one senior player for midfield… Edited July 26, 2023 by Mhsc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Poch has clear public stance we need at least one senior player for midfield… I wonder what Brighton is doing atm tho. Are they actively looking for a replacement? And if so, any news on that would weaken their position. Or do they have players in their squad already that could replace Caicedo? This would strengthen their position, they would try to drag it to DD just for the sake of it. Edited July 26, 2023 by Gundalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine if we aren’t settling for someone we don’t rate as highly, but if Caicedo is our man and our #1 target by far why have we not put a massive offer on the table that Brighton could accept? Everyone and their mother knows £70m wasn’t going to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The lack of noise around incomings is becoming slightly alarming. This squad isn't strong enough to finish in the top 4 without a few more additions in my opinion. The only way this squad will finish top4 without any more incomings is if everything goes perfectly in terms of form and no juries ect. It's alot to bank on.

Special Juan 28,143 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 You can guarantee that we will get at least two major injuries this season, we never go a season now without some drama or major issue. Cannot be thread bare before the season starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
