Then there is a straight up choice, pay what they want or walk the fuck away, it ain't difficult.

Instead we are suppposedly still locked in talks for 2 nearly 3 months and still no further on, go figure it

We did that with Cucurella and ended up paying an extra 20 million for no reason whatsoever. 

No point overpaying for another player.   

I would hope the club just goes and meets them face to face, puts up the 80 million (with say 5 million in add-ons) and that's the final offer.   United didn't mess around when they wanted Mount, they asked for a face to face meeting and agreed the deal, don't see why we can't do the same with Brighton.   If they feel he is worth the same as Rice, good luck to them as no-one is touching Caicedo for 100 million at this stage of his career.

Miguel Delaney saying we are ahead in the race for Kudus as the financial package we have put together is better than Arsenal's

Then you have the answer, simply walk away!

I said days ago it should be no more difficult than renewing the offer with a simple take it or leave it- No more going back if they refuse, slap the price down and stand up with arms folded. 

We need to stop fucking about now

Wish we could at least push this one through whilst we’re dragging the Caicedo chase on and on. With Lavia looking Liverpool bound Arse may decide to make a real push for Kudus. I think they’re only going to make 1 more splashy signing at either deeper midfield or as a rotation option for Saka which is what Kudus would be for them.

I don't think they are capable of doing anything else away from Caicedo as they have their heads firmly planted up their arses.

Liverpool have upped their bid for Lavia to 42M plus 2M in addons as apparently Joe Shields had approached Southampton so this has got Liverpool moving

if Chelsea are interested, as fabrizio says, why have we not tried to sign him for so long? and let him go to liverpool?

We are very good and chasing others on and upping the pressure but we are struggling to get our own deals done

Would be nice to let another club do the ground work for a change, then we swoop in 

[Jype 6,398]

[Gundalf 804]

Whats your take on that? Would it be so much different than Enzo - Caicedo?

[Fulham Broadway 16,789]

The longer Caicedo saga goes on the more pressure on the player if we get him, people need to shit or get of the pot

Not on this one, he's 100% Liverpool bound, it's too late

[Gundalf 804]

Lavia was Liverpool bound since last season if u ask me. This guy loves these cunts. 

[Mário César 972]

the issue is not even the quality of lavia.

the problem is that Chelsea have been looking at him for so many weeks and why haven't they put in a bid?

we had more than enough time for that

don't make any sense

[Special Juan 27,419]

We seem to be very good window shoppers at the moment

[MoroccanBlue 5,291]

Santos changed things.

Because it is becoming more and more evident that it’s Caicedo as our only real target for that area and we’re only going to switch to someone else in a panic near the end of the window. 

No other explanation other than that because there are 4-5 MUCH easier deals that we could’ve had wrapped up weeks ago. Poch/the club must rate Caicedo far higher than any of the alternatives.
