ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I do not think we are serious about Lavia. The 2M short seems like a stall tactic to keep him from playing for Liverpool opening day. If we really were going for him, we would have done the 50M and completed the deal.

Adams is very good in them, but I do not know how that will translate to the PL? It is against low level teams. He does do one thing much better than Pulisic. Pulisic usually has his back to the forward players when receiving the ball and has no idea what is unfolding ahead of him. Adams positions himself to receive the ball and pass it immediately. On the USMNT, he rarely kicks it back like Pulisic does so much. It will be interesting to see what he does? Mexico hates him, he shreds their midfield and stones their attack. Their two totally different players and positions. So why would you compare them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,985 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I just hope we have 100% clarity one way or another TODAY so that we can move for one or the other before the game on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably the initial motive but can totally see us going for him should we miss out on Caicedo as for the Bayern rumours there is no way in hell he moves their. Neither is Caicedo willing to play second fiddle to kimmich nor is Bayern gonna shed another 100m on the same window after Kane . They made a huge exception for that one. They would never do so twice and particularly not for a rather unproven player. Whoever made up this rumour needs their head checked. Probably it’s just Brighton last desperate attempts to make us pay up for Caicedo. You should expect every dirty trick in the book from them.

That is probably why they receive the ball differently, Pulisic likes to entice people in to beat them with his pace & dribbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Adams is a solid signing if he's here to be a rotation DM as well as a player to bring on to secure a lead. ChrissWTF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,985 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The club have done so much right this summer but the biggest mystery and puzzling thing is that we knew as soon as the last season ended that priority position #1 was DM and we’re now scrambling mere days before the new season starts to sign one. Kante, Kova, RLC, and even Zakaria have been gone for ages. A DM should’ve been sewn up a month ago. It’s truly bizarre that we can rapidly wrap up deals for players that we may not see in a Chelsea first team shirt for years for £20m+ each but are dragging and dragging over an extra £20m for a player that dramatically improves us NOW. In a season where we MUST return to UCL football and will have a fantastic chance to do so with 1 game a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Don't really believe Bayern or Liverpool are going to spend £90m+ on Caicedo, only club entering the race that would worry me is City who might bid £90m+ and suddenly seal a deal if they fancy it.

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Only Matt Law reported it, Jacob Steinberg repeated it and credited Matt with the news i.e. it is just Matt reporting it. The guy who knows nothing. He is a PR mouth piece, journalist for hire that prints whatever you pay him to print. Doesn't have any connection to the club, staff or players anymore, Mount was his last inside source as he was being paid by Mount via his PR agency to report favourably on him and negatively on the club's contract stance. 100% ignore. He is out for revenge for being cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
