OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Yeah we are going to get ripped off. Move on. Think of all the u18 wonder kids we could sign for 2030 for £80-100m…… Edited July 18, 2023 by OneMoSalah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,187 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Water is wet and Chelsea are still in talks for Caicedo.😱 Probably sell Gallagher before we get Caicedo, it's OK probably put Cucu in midfield see how it goes. enzoforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many on here frustrated by lack of progress but club's decisions are being vindicated so far. No other suitor, Caicedo convinced by Chelsea.

Pizy 18,985 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Unless Caicedo goes the nuclear route and refuses to turn up to training I just don’t see the incentive for Brighton to budge. And he doesn’t seem like the type to kick up a fuss. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,187 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Brighton kept him in January with an agreement to sell him in the summer. There hard balling is pissing off us and Caicedo himself, the next step is Caicedo to press the bomb button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he doesn’t seem like the type to kick up a fuss. They wouldn't want to create a situation of keeping an unhappy player and going back on their word as that would hurt them in the future with other young players who see Brighton as a good stepping stone for their development. Brighton are just holding out because they just saw West Ham get around 100 million for Rice. We should do what United did and ask for a face to face meeting, put our final offer on the table and if they reject it, we gotta move on for alternatives.

Mhsc 1,109 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Brighton's whole "sell" to players is that they are the stepping stone club who will grow you and facilitate the move to the Big Time™, they will have to sell at a reasonable offer or jeopardise their entire project and the spirit in the squad for next year. They'll cave if we stick it out. It is just a shame it will come at the expense of a fuller preseason with Caicedo, but there's no way that training time is worth us paying millions extra (and definitely not tens of millions extra). I still think (as others here) it will get done at around the £80m mark, either 75+5 or 80+5 worst case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEVINAA 129 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Chelsea Academy, Blues are now closing in on deal to sign Newcastle midfielder Ollie Harrison. Harrison will turn 16 in May and he’s on the verge of leaving #NUFC. Chelsea are ahead of Brighton and Wolves in race to sign Ollie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,270 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Think we do not not need a CB? https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/Chelsea-take-29-man-squad-to-the-usa Wesley Fofana has also not travelled due to a knee injury, which is currently being assessed. Marcus Bettinelli, Benoit Badiashile and Armando Broja will too remain at Cobham as they continue their respective recoveries from injury.

Pizy 18,985 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 So Ornstein says that we’ve already sent in a bid yesterday of £70m fixed with no add-ons whereas all the others are saying that we will be sending a bid in of over £70m fixed with add-ons at some point this week. At least we’re actually putting money on the table now instead of just talking. But we surely knew £70m wasn’t going to move Brighton. Don’t want to risk pissing them off and offering him to one of our rivals instead. Feels a bit like the Enzo saga where Caicedo really seems to want to come to Chelsea but we have to kinda be delicate with Brighton for fear of angering them. But we HAVE to push this through this week before more clubs join in and start a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
