Caice-d'oh!

[ibromurph]

This guy is so clearly going to Chelsea. Why are we wasting our time?

We're not. It's basically an attempt to push Chelsea away from Lavia.

 

[binomial]

Because we’re so shit at negotiating that we have to resort to amateurish tactics like this so we can have a clear pathway to making ourselves look like fools again.

Do people actually think it’s coincidence the report of “outbidding” Chelsea for Caicedo came mere hours after they bidded 48m for Lavia? Why doesn’t Matt Law tell us what that supposed bid was then? Oh I know, because it doesn’t exist.

I think I'll abdicate as the King of the loon crowd.
Quite a few Journos saying we're in talks... He wasn't a midfielder at the top of my list... If we're going for that tier then Tchoumeni would have been my pick. He will shield the back 4 better than any one

 

[Hansern]

Not gonna lie. If we sign Caicedo, I’m having a wank. If we’re not signing Caicedo, I’m having a wank.

Same

Though if we don't sign a DM then I'm going to add in a belt and a doorknob

 

[Shay_K]

Rumours that Jurgen is on Zoom right now with Caicedo.

 

[binomial]

“LFC will 100% bid” Oh lordy, this should be fun.

 

[doctor_mac]

I can confirm I tried to organise a zoom meeting with Caicedo and was told he was busy, so this all checks out.

 

[Shay_K]

Steady lads, it's not quite DEFCON 1 yet, it's still only at Twitter gossip stage.

[Shay_K]

I want him but ya it would make it seem Bellingham choose Madrid over us not having the cash.

He's not a No 6, and we always wanted a new No 6 (or two).

 

[tomasjj]

He slots right in from the off, but I still have a feeling that Lavia has a higher ceiling.

To be fair, a seriously title-challenging side, having lost their only no.6 and his back-up, would look to sign both.

*sighs

 

[Buddha]

Romano doubling down on us submitting a serious offer…

 

[Fabio]

"will you accept 49.5m?"

"......Jorg this is Brighton you're on the phone to"

"I know who I'm speaking to"

 

[Raz]

This just reeks of us going 'ah well see, we tried to buy Caicedo but he preferred something else' spiel. And all the fans can applaud FSG for their efforts.
And we ultimately end up with some panic loan for £5m

Pretty much.

“We did our best, we offered 20m up front, 40m once he won the ballon d’or and 40m once he reached 500 appearances for the club, but they weren’t having any of it”

Erm, how can they "try their best" and put in an offer of over 80m+ for Caicedo and then turn around to Southampton and act like they have no money for Lavia? Then end up with a loan?

No fan is buying that.

 

[Fabio]

I mean, I get the club's logic if we're going to genuinely try for caicedo. If we're willing to spend 50m on potential. Why not spend 90m+ on genuine young proven talent.

If we fail, hopefully lavia is there for us to pay up to

 

[LarryHagman]

Who's the player we'd rather sign? Caicedo or Lavia?

Ya think?

Dunno, we should get someone to start a thread on it…and maybe include a poll.

That would be great.

 

[LarryHagman]

Well, I'd rather sign Caicedo because he'e better. But he's going to cost twice as much. And that's the point isn't it?

Liverpool are likely to bid for Moises caicedo after talks with Brighton. -

Jurgen Klopp will hope to speak to Moises Caicedo and lay out his vision. -

Did he actually tweet that? I cant find it

 

[Farkmaster]

We really thought he was talented, and we really needed him, but what really got our dicks rock hard is that it was taking another team a long time to buy him. That made him even more valuable, was that factor of him being expensive, and difficult to get. Sure, we could have registered our interest earlier, but we like to do it right at the altar, because our wives pick the movies to watch.

This is the stupidest explanation of "why we moved" in a long time.

Big Jorg brought his laptop over from Ibiza and is ready to fire up with some top emailing & zooming!!!

We just need to find him a travel adaptor plug as he’s out of battery power.

 

[Brizzle]

Buy Caicedo now and bid 30m for Lavia in Jan when Saints are out of the promotion race in the championship
