Assuming he signs for us, in what way do we look dickheads? We contacted Brighton and had a deal accepted within hours, Chelsea has faffed around for months, we've tied it up in a day.
We obviously knew about Caicedo, but didn't need him / couldn't afford him before the Saudi transfers, but they changed everything. This might still fall through, but at the moment I'm convinced it's just agent talk, Chelsea won't match, but even they do, we can't control if the player / agent are dishonest, they obviously encouraged our bid and it seems Caicedo wants to come, but the agent is playing funny bollocks.
We've been clinical here, we've made Chelsea look like dickheads, and conversely both us and Brighton have come out looking like the more professional outfits who want to get things done, him going to Chelsea doesn't change that for me.
I do agree about your concerns over the centre back position though, we're shamefully light there, an injury to Konate (which let's be honest is a foregone conclusion) and we're fucked.
