Ham Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 His comparative stats v Caicedo and Lavia are very impressive, considering fewer appearances. At least it's a DM in the door. One of the other two and we're good to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It's almost as if these journalists hedge their bets and make stuff up sometimes, in the hope their guess manifests into reality. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Brighton , trying to eke every ounce of value out of Caicedo's sale , pretending Liverpool have bid more is probably the first thing you'd do ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) In the last hour from reputable journals, in chronological order; Liverpool have outbid Chelsea. Chelsea have turned to Lavia Caicedo only wants Chelsea. Liverpool haven't actually made any bid. Brighton confirm no bid from Liverpool. Liverpool have outbid Chelsea and they face losing him to Liverpool. Tyler Adams "here we go". Edited August 10, 2023 by Ham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The end of Matt Law's article says: "As of Thursday morning, Southampton had not accepted or rejected Chelsea’s offer for Caicedo." Actually, Law said on the London is Blue Podcast, that he is on holiday at the moment, so maybe his copy is getting mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is the best value for money out of three and more importantly he is more the type of player we need to give coverage to our defence. However, I think Caicedo is exactly the kind of player Liverpool need and would do very well for them. Lavia would be another player bought for his potential rather than current quality and we already have enough of those, so I'd pass on him.

Popular Post martin1905 Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 I thought James Madison could have been the best value transfer of the summer, Tyler Adams has just blown that theory out of the water. £20m in today's market is beyond a bargain. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavia only make sense if he was to arrive to understudy Enzo, as they compare quite closely from an underlying perspective. Lavia being looked at as a DM to partner WITH Enzo however makes no real sense, he's awful defensively and Caicedo and Adams make for a far more balanced duo to rotate between. £50m however for an Enzo backup, hard pass. Edit: Although, and this goes back to a theory I put up before, maybe with Nkunku out we'll push Enzo upfield and then look to play Lavia in Enzo's role and then a DM alongside. That is the only way signing all three makes sense. Edited August 10, 2023 by xceleryx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling it going to be Brighton's no3 as our new no1. How times have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think after we sold them Osgood and Dixon they'd be willing to do a deal with us. Edited August 10, 2023 by Backbiter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boratsbrother Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Another point in favour of Adams is that he performed well in a crap team which got relegated. That shows he's a pretty strong character who doesn't let his head drop when the going gets tough, which is in stark contrast to some of those who threw the towel in with us when things got tough last season.
