It is fucking absolutely pathetic from the board it really is, and this is why managers get hacked off. If you don't want to pay what they want then walk away and go for someone else. You know what makes this all the more infuriating? Winstanley has worked with Bloom, so he knows very well how he operates. Most important position and we are fucking about.

I‘m sick of Brighton if we truly have offered that much Caicedo needs to force the move or we move on seriously. I never want to do business with them again.

Pizy 18,908 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 That money can probably get you Barella. If Brighton still rejected £80m then fuck off and go for Barella. dimmas and James 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) They want £95-100m or a deal including Colwill. That price or this is non negotiable clearly. Have to admire their stance, they’ve already sold plenty since last summer so I doubt their in any rush to bend to our will and accept a cut price deal in their eyes considering the fees Rice and Bellingham have gone for. Plus Caicedo just renewed in January so as previously said, they hold the cards at the moment. They know we are desperate for a midfielder and they know they’ve got 4 or 5 years on his deal still to go. Wait and see though we will bid £85m in a week or two, then £90m a few weeks later before eventually offering the £95-100m right at the death when pre seasons more or less finished. Get it done or go for plan B. Simple as that. I am beginning to think its Caicedo or nobody for midfield which on it’s own, considering the amount of “top level” footballing people in this incredible footballing infrastructure Boehly and co have apparently put in place, is absolutely shocking. Lavia links died down pretty quickly but again our name is thrown in tentatively. Would think if we were that interested we would of coughed up the £45-50m they want for him so will go with the impression he was more under consideration if Poch wasn’t keen on Santos/we couldn’t get a work permit for him again. I know people were skeptical of how we done things before but under Roman if we wanted Caicedo, it would of been done in the first week of the window. Simple as that.

I doubt they could say no to £80m. Whether Barella could be convinced to leave Italy is another matter but I bet we could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really has fucked it for himself, stupid cunt that he is. But what do you expect l? He’s always been one of the most arrogant footballers of a pretty arrogant Belgian generation. But his arrogance, he can’t back it up, just look at the biggest games/moments of his career - it’s pretty laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that. Hey? We has an entire Alex Sandro saga in 2017, Koulibaly saga in 2016 and Lukaku was done so late in the window he couldn't play the first game. Last time we got the deal wrapped up early under Roman was 2014. I don't think getting players in for pre season is the massive crucial deal breaker it's made out to be anyway, maybe if it's multiple players but certainly not just one. Mata came in late and adapted fine and quickly, the only time Lukaku looked good for us was when he was training with the squad for a matter of days, Kova arguably had his best performance for us on his debut vs Arsenal at a point his Chelsea career was days old, Silva and Mendy came in late and instantly slotted in (while the players we did get in nice and early that summer struggled).

Pizy 18,908 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 We sadly just have zero leverage in this Caicedo negotiation. Brighton aren’t in a position where they need the money. They’ve just seen another PL proven midfielder in Caicedo’s exact position go for £100m+ and they rate him at Rice’s level or higher. And then perhaps most crucially Caicedo himself isn’t kicking up a fuss or forcing the issue. That third point is probably the only thing that can change the impasse. Caicedo has to start making things uncomfortable. Because I can’t see us paying £100m for a fucking DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
