That tweet was from May. Just to show what Fabrizio told about the pact between Caicedo and Brighton and that its gonna be "respected"

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. 

 

Maybe you’re right but it seems out of character for Klopp to throw a 19 year old in in such a key position from day 1.

Exactly. Alcantara also near out of the door. Two new midfielders Szoboszlai and McAllister are more attacking midfielders. 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.

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.

Just shows that its obviously not so easy to get a good DM. I bet Pool fans are also raging that they havent bought anyone yet.

Moises Caicedo: Brighton reject Chelsea's £80m bid for midfielder

By Simon Stone

Please tell them to go fuck themselves and move on.

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

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.

Should now at least force their hand by handing in a transfer request, kicking up a fuss about a move

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

Our fans all over Brighton socials with free Caicedo. We gave them Lamptey and Gilmour for peanuts. Colwill on loan. Overpaid for Cucurella. We should really stop doing business with them. They are acting like cunts. 

[Strike 7,217]

Quite a lot of good moves this summer but I can't believe that once again we're falling short in midfield.

I better wake up to some good news. This transfer window has run dry as fuck.

It's Friday again, then Saturday, Sunday what? 

Don't expect anything this week.

I was hoping Caicedo might go full on statement like he did with Arsenal in January.

You'd think the people around him would be throwing chairs and allsorts round

[Fulham Broadway 16,834]

Imagine if Man City had wanted him - the whole thing would have been done and dusted in 48 hours

[Mhsc 876]

I don't think Caicedo is going to push or throw his toys out of the pram now - signed a long term contract with them in just March, and apparently didn't secure a sensible clause to leave so can't really complain. I think the reason is incredibly obvious: he was on just 15k a week when he threw his toys out last time. It got him a new contract with them on 4x the salary but he had to commit with no clause to get it which was clearly his priority (money), and now he's stuck there for 4 years at least while Brighton play around trying to get stupid money for him. Same tricks Levy pulls on players and why Harry Kane ended up stuck at Spurs for his whole career. 

We should ofc take note with Colwill, who is also on 15k a week and just like Moises making some noises, guarantee that all goes away if we put him on a decent deal at 60k a week.
