Summer Transfer Window 23/24

[von Humboldt]

The weekend's football action will be positively dull in comparison to all these sagas.

 

[Robbo]

Christ, that is embarrassing for Liverpool, but even I would admit Liverpool under Klopp is more appealing than Chelsea's weird scattergun project...

 

[Raymond Lin]

That's unexpected!

 

[engee]

I wonder what Southampton are going to ask for, for Lavia if Liverpool go back

 

[McBain]

Chelsea are taking the **** to be honest

Don’t worry, if you still need a DM we could sell you Elneny. Mo would love his mate there.

Hilarious. mctominay is available Liverpool?

 

[C Kent]

Not a good look for Brighton this

 

[Tinders]

Surely Liverpool would have spoken to the player 1st, before making a bid and making it public.

Not a good look for Brighton this

Why?

 

[omnomnom]

Why?

Well if you have a deadline, tell both clubs to make their bid till that deadline, accept the Liverpool bid then go back on it then it isnt a good look is it.

 

[C Kent]

Why?

Agree a deal with one club, now apparently have to agree terms with another club despite giving their word- if the player only wanted Chelsea why the shenanigans last night?

Never wanted him anyway, just an Ecuadorian Scott mctominay

But it's a three way negotiation. Brighton accepted our bid, as they told us they would if we were the highest bidder. It's not their fault that the player has chosen not to come to us.

Clearly Brighton can't be restricted from selling Caicedo to somebody else if the move to us does not go through.


Question though - Caicedo says he basically gave Chelsea his word in May. What are the rules on tapping up?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Meh, club's own deadlines are as useful as a chocolate tea pot. Nothing but some money would make that go away. Just look at the Kane "deadline". The only deadline that matters is the one imposed by UEFA.

It was all a convert operation to allow Everton to sneak in a new striker for 15m after a prolific 3 goals. If he can get 3 more this year they can flip him to Newcastle for 50m.

None existent. Unless you are Liverpool and Vvd

 

[dansew123]

It’s all player side, he prefers Chelsea to Liverpool. Or rather he prefers the 8 year 300k a week contract Chelsea are offering
