Costa19 858 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 But hey look on the bright side. We paid a premium of 25m for Sanchez so we wouldn't have to pay 100m for Caicedo LMAO Brighton actually tied us up in their BDSM basement and did whatever they wanted with us. What a fucking fiasco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,154 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Winstanley and Co need hauling in and sitting down and fucking shagging with a big fuck off scaffold pole. How on earth we can let this pan out like this with one day from the season starting is a complete and utter joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,154 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Buying 26 fucking 18 year old Brazilians and sending them to France and full focus on that only to miss out on our primary target in the position we need the most. feel sorry for Poch, if I was him I’d be fucking bouncing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) He is not worth 127 million euros, easy as that. Move on. Aside from great PR, we're looking at a very talented, promising player who has played just 1 season in a competetive league. I'm sure he is a great player but at the moment half of the fee is the PL/media hype. It's a big gamble for any club willing to part with that sum of money for one player. Get this wrong and the club is financially crippled for seasons to come. We're in a position where we do not need to panic buy - no european football, just the league and FA/league cup. Bring in alternatives and exploit the market for any other oppurtunity that might rise (getting rid of unwanted players for great fees - Lukaku to Spurs?).

Seymop 90 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 It happens every year !!!! We name our top targets,spend weeks going round in circles trying to sign them, miss out at the last minute and end up signing our 3rd,4th or even 5th choice. Last year it was Kuende,this year Caicedo . City for instance keep quiet,decide early on their top target and go out and get him. We never learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFAS 4 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 1 hour ago, DDA said: A big problem that we may have to face soon is that Enzo may start to feel asof he has messed up joining us with no real World Class players to play alongside him in that midfield. Lose Enzo and we really are proper fucked. We need to start making him feel like there is actually a chance of us winning trophies at some point in the near future. Yea he signed up for a project but I'm betting when that project was discussed with him prior to signing, he was told that we would bring in top top players to play alongside him in that mid. he has his paisan to work with that must surely help. sweet jesus people on here are losing their f ing minds. doom and gloom everywhere.

Don't know how quickly the club will re-enter the market to sign an alternate DM, but until then all our hopes are pinned on the young central midfielders we currently have. Just hope it's not too much pressure on them. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carragher will see nothing wrong with it at all... but if it was us paying that fee... you wouldn't hear the end of it. Wasn't it Carragher on twitter who said that Liverpool have the funds for Caicedo and he's shocked that they haven't moved for him...and then literally within a week, Liverpool get their midfielder.

Surely we can get Lavia in to help with the midfield rebuild and might as well get Kudus (as he's been stalling the Brighton deal as they weren't interested in a release clause).

Nah watch scousers wrap up Lavia aswell.

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Silly money but then again if has a impact and helps get top 4..Worth it... I dont see us top 4 this season.

Costa19 858 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Nkunku injury feels so much worser now. Its a disaster. At least Caicedo would make our midfield complete but now the squad is looking like a cheese full of holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,102 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 What’s the new CM shortlist looking like? And are we going for another GK if Kepa is off? With Nkunku injured does make me think we need another striker too. We are now dependent on Jackson a little TOO much going into the season no?

Special Juan 28,154 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Our seasons starts Sunday and our main midfield signing is Tyler Adams. Let that sink in Fernando, xPetrCechx and Costa19 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandomi10 82 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sources have not ruled out Chelsea, whose previous bid for Moises Caicedo was worth £80m, trying to outdo Liverpool by returning with more than £110m. - @JacobSteinberg Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Blue Armour said: One more season out of top4 (or top 5 with new CL regulations ), and we'll be staying there for at least a few seasons more. I feel that is too early to call, nothing is predictable in sports ... For me, it depends on how Poch handles things specially with the integration of the abundance of youth and how much time is he given to settle. We need to realize one thing, that this would be the first time in many years in Chelsea's history there is a complete reset, people are either starting from 0 or from 1 (including the owners).
