Non European season just gives them time to gel as a team, not necessarily a bad thing, still have fa and league cup games.

Sure, but still feel like Santos and Lavia could be starter for a lot of other good teams.

Imagine being a Liverpool fan and hearing this news. They are only 5m short of Southamptons valuation and they are talking for weeks

Chelsea surely playing games - just dunno with who.

I really really hope not.

While he technically can do it it would be a total waste of the game dictating qualities he has.

Either that or we're changing shape to 4-3-3 which just wouldn't make sense after a full preseason of 4-2-3-1...Very odd, but I'd still absolutely love it if we took him right from under Liverpool's noses and still got Caicedo

Lavia has nothing to do with Caicedo, it’s like moving chess pieces. Gallagher will go, watch this space

would be funny if we end up with lavia and adamas. 

[Gundalf 805]

With the players we have, the players that might still come and with the loans, we are building a team that could be without any transfers for years.

Anything in midfield after we secure Caicedo is icing on the cake. Just make sure to get him in first and foremost. 

Getting Caicedo AND Lavia would make this a historically insane transfer window. But it seems almost impossible to believe.

Unless there’s some crazy agents fees involved that we’d pay and Liverpool refuse to, I don’t understand why Liverpool would be okay offering £46m but back out at £48m. It makes zero sense.

Surely Southampton wont aceept tho. They will at least wait for Liverpools response and hope for a bidding war.

Yep. Like I just said, this is Liverpool’s top target so this late in the summer there’s surely no way they’d walk away because of a few million.

At least we would have forced Liverpool to pay more than they wanted and forced them to play with no proper DM against us. Either way that Lavia bid is a good thing.

I would laugh so much if the Lavia bid is due to us moving on from Caicedo after all the Twatter 'ITK's' were saying it had moved forward the same day.
