We have been doing with the likes of Jackson and Badiashille. Which should then enable us to splash the big bucks on ready made when need be.

Mhsc 1,097 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Definitely walk away from Caicedo and no more business with Brighton - don’t sell them anyone either unless for outrageous prices. Now that word is on the street money means nothing to them what goes around comes around. Despite panic there is shit loads of good options we’ve mentioned in this thread and no doubt far more we’ve never heard of the scouts should have an eye on. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,326 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 He should do Gallas and threatened to score own goals. manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The thing with Lavia is that he’s still a kid. Which is why it’s probably better for him that he goes to Liverpool where he wouldn’t be expected to start every game and can be eased in by Klopp. That immense pressure to hit the ground running with top class performances week in and week out wouldn’t be there. Whereas if he came here he’d be thrown right into the fire and have a huge burden of being the primary defensive shield for a huge club. Asking that for a 19 year old is big. Doing it for a Southampton and doing it for Chelsea with our expectations is a massive difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope in that scenario we at least try to throw massive money at a world class player who may not even have been on the radar. Someone who may not technically be “available” but who could be sold if a huge offer comes in. If we panic buy Onana or that DM from Ajax who we were after Alvarez I’d be bitterly disappointed and worried that we won’t get near the top 4. I don’t think Onana would be a bad buy. Sitting in front of the back line and adds another big body (6’5”) on set pieces. And fee would be around £55m-65m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that Fabinho is close to a deal with the Saudi League as well....and they have just sold Henderson. I don't think they have another starting DM and Lavia would take that role.

They have only left youngsters like Bajcetic, Elliott and Jones. This summer they lost Milner, Henderson, Keita, Ox, Arthur and now Fabinho close to move as well as Alcantara. They are in very similar situation as us in MF area. Klopp is using TAA in DM in pre season. Getting Caicedo will really give us the edge in that first game.

chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Brighton had to outright reject our offer for Caicedo after we outright rejected their measly offer of £30M for Colwill and then told them he is not for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Pool fans are also raging that they havent bought anyone yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,492 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 8 hours ago, whats happening said: it took them almost a month to up the offer from 70 to 80 million pounds. absolutely fucking pathetic that's the right valuation for Caicedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankLampard007 16 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Just now, Strike said: that's the right valuation for Caicedo I think 80 million pouns is 30 to much for this guy. and 100 million pounds is 50 mio too much for rice. how are this two guys worth more than 50 mio. they are just solid in defence. nothing special. enzoforever and bigbluewillie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
