Bob Singleton Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Latest rumours... Brighton will ONLY sell Caicedo to Liverpool and will reject any other offers. B&HA claim that they were very clear that midnight last night was the deadline for bids and they would accept the highest bid that reached or went beyond their minimum threshold. Liverpool bid £110/£111 million (take your pick depending on source) which was accepted. Chelsea bid £100m & Bayern Munich £90m. Those bids were rejected. Caicedo has told both Liverpool and B&HA that he only wants to move to Chelsea. It was reported by one source that he cleared his locker the other day and had booked into a plush London hotel. In his press conference earlier today, de Zerbi said “I’ve already forgotten Moises.” One or more parties are going to have to back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can Brighton force a player to go to a club against his will when he has an offer and personal terms from another club who are willing to match the higher bid? What legal standing is there in this auction process they dreamed up? I mean, we’d like to sell Lukaku to the Saudis for 50m but we can’t compel him to go. Do Brighton think Caicedo is cattle to be traded at their whim? What a shoddy little club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t, but they can stop him going to certain clubs if they just refuse the offers… be a pretty crappy move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Caicedo is really clear he won't go to Liverpool, though, and Chelsea make a bid they consider reasonable, they'll sell. Anyone but the most petty and most poorly run clubs would. And that isn't Brighton. There's no way back for him at Brighton and I daresay they'd just rather have the money at this point, so we'll get him if we bid the amount they want. I think lots of these rumours are rubbish, though. I can't see we have the money to be doing all of the things we're reportedly doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we sell Colwill for £150m I'm just kidding 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevelourfog Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Romano reporting Liverpool on the verge of walking away and Chelsea back in discussion with Brighton. Will we just go to £110m? If we do, where on Earth is £50m Lavia and £35m Olise money coming from? Lots of smoke and mirrors here, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If selling him gives us a more balanced squad and keeps us financially solid, i am all for it. Crap he ain’t imo but ok 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Just seen someone on X say what a story it will be for Harry Kane to get a three year deal at Munich, win the league a couple of times, cap it with the Champions league and return to Spurs a hero and lead them back into the Premier league. 😂😂😂😂😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 So it’s going to be Caicedo and Lavia? If so, we have a very young, unproven, inexperienced and really expensive set of CMs for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we have a very young, unproven, inexperienced and really expensive set of CMs for this season. A double presentation before the game would be sublime. Maybe Jim Bowen could introduce them with some kind of catchphrase 🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgs Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I’d rather Olise, Caicedo and Adams than Olise, Caicedo and Lavia, personally. In actual fact i’d rather Olise, Caicedo and Gallagher but looks like Conor is on his way. I do wonder if Gallagher and Ugochukwu (and Chalobah, Ziyech, Lukaku, Cucurella?) have been offered to Brighton to try to lower the overall fee and that’s why negotiations took so long. Gallagher would be an unbelievable signing for them. I even think Ziyech would do well there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Kelly Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Brighton have managed to go right to the top of my sh*t-list with the way they've conducted themselves this close season, first we had their designs on Colwill and now this farcical transfer saga. They're really not as nice as they like to portray themselves. Hope they go down / bust. Edited August 11, 2023 by Mark Kelly 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're of no consequences to us whatsoever and are highly unlikely to become so. Pay the money, walk away and stuff them on the pitch, then watch as they get relegated in a couple of years. Seagulls, rats of the sky. A very apt nickname. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarefreeMuratcan Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 So what was the Tyler Adams thing all about. That part isn't making any sense. Unless it's weirdly part of the negotiations for Caicedo for us to step away from Adams and let Brighton have him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
