Moisés Caicedo

Very well could be. Also might be Liverpool after seeing how shambolic the midfield/defense has been. Last season I think they were bottom 5 in expected goals conceded (as in conceding the most) and in pre-season this year it hasn't gotten better. The fee may seem crazy but the kid is 21. You break that down over a 10 year window and it's chump change.

They bailed early on Bellingham, too expensive supposedly, Then spent on Szoboszlai and MacAllister. Where are they coming up with another 100 mil? What did they get for those 2 Saudi bound dinosaurs?

Haha I'm calling BS and we don't need him
Cos we got Johnny Johnny stones..

I like the sound of a Stones Moises midfield.

There’s no way any club bids over £80m without having the player’s camp onside. This bid sounds like utter nonsense to me.

weird that they haven't names the team.... I could potentially see it being us we did want bellingham and we put a bid in for rice... also sure tolmie hinted at brighton in one of his comments about other players coming in.

I've been kind of hoping Mbappe moves now and opens up the possibility of us moving for Valverde.

And apparently they won’t tell the agent who has bid
Smells like…..

Everyone saying it’s a tactic to get Chelsea to cough up but are Chelsea really that stupid. If everyone on here can seemingly see through it then surely they will also

I've been impressed with him and I think he would add a lot to this team. However dealing with Brighton is a mare -so!!

Brighton are not a nightmare to deal with. White, Bissouma, MacAllister, Trossard, Burn and many others - all out the door and all parties happy. Chelsea overpaying for Cucurella and taking Potter just 5 games into a new season might suggest that the issues are not at Brighton’s door when it comes to Caicedo. To repeat Brighton’s oft-stated position - the club will not stand in a player’s way but the valuation has to be met and the transaction must be right for the club.

Would much prefer Caicedo to go to the triple-winners, with a generationally successful coach because that’s a great footballing decision. If not you, Caicedo should absolutely stay with DeZerbi because he will have European football with another generationally talented coach (Pep’s view as well).

As if Brighton have had a bid but won't tell the player it concerns who the club is.

A heavy feel of "you wouldn't know her, she goes to another school."

They brought Bellingham in. If Mbappe follows suit it wouldn't be out of the question that one of Valverde or Tchouameni may be moved.
Notice I said I was "hoping". So, if Valverde became available would you be happy with us moving for him?
