Caice-d'oh!

[dee]

Wonder if it’s kicking off in the Director’s yet?

 

[The Nomad]

Poch seems to think they are getting him

We need him

Lavia, Luis, Redondo..

Three DMs who have just as much potential and arguably better now than Caicedo was 12 months ago.

 

[Dreambeliever]

We don't need someone who doesn't want to be here. All things being equal I'd have preferred him over Lavia, but not if he's set on moving to Lahndan (he wanted to go to the Arse originally when they were sniffing around him).

If we get him he’ll be happy enough.

 

[reuque]

Can we just change the title to Caice-the-fuck-is-going-on?! first. It's been 3 days. Our bid is probably in the spam folder by now.

 

[mom]

There’s no way we would be bidding the way we have for someone who doesn’t want to come to us. Why on earth would we be fighting to secure the signature of player who does not want to play for us.

It’ll all come out sooner or later

 

[dee]

I wonder if we specifically built up our bid in a way that made it impossible for Chelsea to match eg 50% up front and full fee paid by end of year 3, plus sell on fee which makes FFP harder in future because you may have to sell at a loss (eg less than £139M if sell on is based on 20% of full fee)

 

[Woland]

The Brighton dude got on the phone and said, look you rinsed us for Gary Mac, can you fuck about with this deal and get us his actual value back off Chelsea please? It's only fair.

 

[Fabio]

This is just fucking effort now.

Hopefully we're smashing some other signings in the background, or we're gonna look more stupid than usual

Caice-dunno?

It already has..

They were using us to get more money from Chelsea.

It all went wrong for them as we were left as the only bidders who Brighton accepted.

Chelsea offered more money to agent and player.. and over a longer time.

Caicedo wanted a pay day.

We are just leaving the bid in the ring to piss Chelsea off.. who responded by upping their offer for Lavia to £55m to force us to pay more for him.. if we want him of course.

 

[mom]

Madness

 

[binomial]

That’s a lot of money, hope the prick does his ACL.

 

[Buddha]

Right now that’s over can we please:

1) Get a DM or 2 in asap
2) Sort a proper LCB
3) Make a statement about our concerns about the lack of oversight of Chelsea’s flagrant disregard for FFP

 

[Hansern]

From now on we should ban everything that comes from that Chelsea cunt Romano. Here we go ya bellend.

 

[Hansern]

Close thread. Didnt rate or want him anyway. Fuck Brighton as well.

 

[Hansern]

9 year contract. Jeezes they are taking the absolute piss.

 

[The Nomad]

Why? He had a direct line to either Boehly or Sierra (I'm guessing the latter since he's small time).

Wasn't his fault they (Caicedos camp) got greedy.

Only thing he got wrong was saying "bid is Imminent" and "crucial hours ahead".

Said before. Will say again.

We do not do business with Sierra in the future.

 

[localny]

No more purchases from Brighton. They set a fecking bidding deadline and then undermined their own system. No ethics

Can we get Estupinan before we impose the ban?

Again.. Brighton did nothing wrong. Caicedos camp were the ones to blame.

 

[binomial]

What are people actually blaming Brighton for? They accepted the bid (fuck knows why we did in the first place, it's an absurd amount of money).

If the player makes it clear he doesn't wanna join you, there's nothing else to discuss frankly.

 

[Halmeister]

Bravo, FSG.

What deadline did they set exactly?

 

[Markeh]

So has all this nonsense just cost us £5m more with Lavia

 

[The Nomad]

What deadline did they set exactly?

Thursday midnight will sell to highest bidder (obviously assuming that Caicedo would want to join either club).

 

[The Nomad]

If we want him.
Chelsea may still try and get him too.

 

[Squiggles]

So has all this nonsense just cost us £5m more with Lavia

He's likely signing for Chelsea, too.

 

[binomial]

Thursday midnight will sell to highest bidder (obviously assuming that Caicedo would want to join either club).

Wasn't Thursday midnight around the time our £111m bid went in?

In any case fans should be wiser to know "deadlines" set by clubs is a myth, the real and only deadline is August 31st.....if a buying club pays what the selling want, the deal will get done if the player agrees to the move.

Yes.

He wants us.. we need to match the bid.

Complete flip of the Caicedo stance.
