Ah have to login to read that but it likely goes into even more depth and looks even worse from the first paragraph !

How have we? We made an offer which Southampton hasn’t accepted. As far as I know, we haven’t walked away- have we?I feel sorry for Lavia here. We've proper dicked him about.
I think the fact we didn’t go back again and instead went all in on CaicedoHow have we? We made an offer which Southampton hasn’t accepted. As far as I know, we haven’t walked away- have we?
All I’m reading (yesterday and today) are briefings by Chelsea and Southampton to, mainly, London-based outlets and twitteratti such as Fabrizio Romano and Dharmesh Seth.
I’m just about with this, though it’s difficult to know exactly what is going on the player side re Caicedo.Sign Lavia
Exactly.Chelsea’s bid of £52+3M hasn’t been responded to yet AFAIK.
Presumably Soton waiting to see what happens at Brighton first.
Just checked and Lukaku no bids at £40M asking price, Ziyech failed medical and Hudson-odio is going to Fulham for less than £8M
WOW they are fucked! I didn’t realise how thin they were in midfield either
Pay the £50m, get Lavia, get CB and another MF.

Chelsea paid £72m for him, that'll be another black mark when they sell him at a loss. Though Poch has told him to fight for the #1Real want Kepa
I reckon they will end up with de Gea.Real want Kepa
If he's got a good head on his shoulders then he'll understand the difference between the two valuations.He's had his heart set on us, remained professional and dignified while the club haggled for months over a couple of million, clearly giving the impression that we don't value him at the price set.
Then he has to watch while we shit ourselves and throw more than DOUBLE the amount we're balking at Soton for him.
Must make him feel really valued.

I'd say he is hoping the Caicedo saga is sorted asap and he gets to move to the losing club.Even so, he must feel like chopped liver after this mess
I know, poor darling. Fucking hell. People acting like these guys aren't pampered multi-millionaires who make a fortune for playing their favourite game.I'd say he is hoping the Caicedo saga is sorted asap and he gets to move to the losing club.
The extra wads of cash bulging in his pockets will ease his bruised ego no doubt
