Lavia I still have not confirmed to my satisfaction

I am guessing around £100K PW

150 for Caicedo is terrible. I understand we had to fend off pool. But wtf that is just as bad as those 150 to Kepa. 
Caicedo might still flop easily and we will be stuck with him for 8 years.

That Palmer thing happened fast. From a knocked back 35M bid to here we go in three hours.

Medical today apparently

I don't see him flopping.   There's a reason why Arsenal wanted him badly the previous window and then Liverpool tried to hijack our deal.  

I've seen sources say it's 125k base per week....which is reasonable for a young midfielder of his quality. 

Just remember that our negotiating position is bad as every good agent out there will know that we offered Cucurella 175k a week, Kepa 150k a week, Lakaka over 300k a week and even CHO's contract was supposedly up to 180k a week.

Looks a tidy player, ticks the HG criteria box as well.

I think it's quite obvious this deal gone too far, especially given he was the plan B, but neither of plans a, b or c were very impressive and we seemed to have no other backup idea. Him and Enzo may turn out very good quality players, but they would have to become the hall of fame level for those pricetag to be justifiable with "it was worth it".

How was he plan B? The very first thing we heard this summer was that we want Ugarte+Caicedo, and we ended up with Lavia+Caicedo

[lucio 5,418]

True , caicedo was first choice. Lavia is our plan b from wanting ugarte

I think incomings are done after Palmer gets announced but still lots to do with outgoings.

Lukaku seems done already but Cucurella, CHO, Sarr, Chalobah need some moves sorted out plus some loans for the youngsters (Washington, Burstow etc.)

[mkh 265]

Tino Anjorin will join League One side Portsmouth on loan until January.

His future will then be reassessed in the new year.

@TheAthleticFC

[Artandur 939]

So is Washington staying with the team? Barely any loan talk about him

So far Caicedo has shown potential not quality. One good season does not make a word class player. If the contract is incentives based, fair enough but still. I was always against this signing on these terms. Even if he becomes a solid player like Ramires or Mikel he would still be a flop for  the money paid. 
You can only get of this viscous wages circle when you sell the overpaid freeloaders (which we are doing) and refuse to hand out those contracts again, which we still struggle with.

Palmer is at Cobham now.
