He swallowed being trashed by everyone for a long time, claimed he isn't going anywhere, worked hard, tried to get himself together, acted professional and… bailed out before one had time to blink and now became los blanco in his heart before even setting foot on the pitch. Perhaps reasonable for him, but may indicate we are still not all rosy behind the scenes, as I doubt he feared Sanchez displacing him much… That's 'Manager' Kepa to you, sir. Don't you dare disrespect the gaffer. Vegetable and Fulham Broadway 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could’ve sworn I’ve seen an interview of his where he had a thick London accent. I had no clue he was French until I read his Wiki page. Though he was English through and through. Anyways, I want a Lavia update today! 😅😅😅 For me he’s now more important that Olise since he’ll slot straight into the XI and he’ll us from day 1. Here it is 😁 Fernando, Blue Armour and Pizy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,727 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I still can't believe I got my dream midfield of Enzo and Caicedo. I wonder if Todd and company read this thread 😁 Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Isn’t Olise basically the same player as Noni? Don’t really see the point of stockpiling wingers again after we just got rid of a few. Same with midfielders. Olise also does not score goals - at least assists some. But for the price it is worth a shot. Just sad to think how many of our wingers and cms will have their career ruined by sitting on our bench watching Sterling stumbling balls into the side netting.

Noni more of a dribbler whereas Olise more of a creator. Sterling could be off to Saudi this time next summer. Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,401 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 So Paul Joyce is full of shit saying Liverpool never bid?I bed he's also full of shit Liverpool never booked a medical for Caicedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,286 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Hopefully it’s done within the next 24 hours so that he can get a few training sessions in for the weekend. And so we don’t allow a desperate, begging Liverpool a chance to dramatically raise their bid and wage offer to Lavia to turn his head again. We all know exactly how this new, Declan Rice-less West Ham will play. They’ll want to be super physical, high energy, and lots of direct play to try to rattle us. So having both Caicedo and Lavia in our midfield to battle them with physical power would be a huge bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The hamstring tear Olise suffered from and is currently out with is a grade 3 tear so he might well be perma wrecked already. Not that this comes as surprise as all our big signings are usually either injured, coming off a big injury or injure themselves badly shortly after signing for us. But that is probably the reason we keep stockpiling. laura90 and Muzchap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is probably the reason we keep stockpiling. It’s a big concern for sure. Have to imagine that the club will be super cautious and not rush him in just because he’s a shiny new toy. But for us to STILL push ahead with his signing rather than get someone like Kudus or Cherki who are ready to go right away it must mean they have absolute faith that he’ll recover fully. And they better be right if he’s getting a massively long contract! At least the price is ridiculously low in this day and age. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Lavia is as unproven as it gets esp coming from championship. Odd considering that Poch said no long ago, "Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he does not want any more than 25 players in his Chelsea squad for the 2023-24 campaign."

He was in the PL last season lol. They just got relegated this season. And it was Poch that said he wanted more bodies in the mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
