If we're not getting Caicedo I wish this whole thing would hurry up so we don't have such a huge sum of money basically tied down to a non entity. We can't bid on anyone else while we may be obligated with this one long-shot. The longer this drags on, the less like we are to get someone else.
Good thread from Mel Reddy, basically putting Romano and Diego in the mud. Also goes onto mention that whilst Chelsea is his preferred destination, LFC have had assurances he wants to join.
we can mate. We have oodles of money (or credit) still to play with. Last night I agreed with walking away, but the more stuff comes out, the more it makes sense to screw Chelsea back by staying in there.
Obviously, I'm not expecting MC now, but if we do sign him, what's the odds he releases some statement about how much he loves Liverpool and this is all some misunderstanding and he always wanted to come here. He might even become a boyhood red overnight...
He wants his kids to grow up with a Scouse accent, and he's always loved the Beatles. And Atomic Kitten.
To be honest im Sure he feels the same way about us as he does about chelsea. His agent on the other hand
It's £111 mil less we can bid than we could otherwise. I know most people didn't think we had even that much to spend so there can't be much left.
we've committed it to Brighton until such time as they accept same from "someone" else. both sides need to agree offer is withdrawn.
No we haven't. We've made a bid and if the deal materialises, we spend it. However, until the dotted lines are signed, we can do as we like with the funds. Much like Chelsea pulling out the Tyler Adams deal despite having a bid accepted.
yes they had gone and told Leeds the offer was withdrawn and have made their name mud in doing so. they didn't simply tell him to go home. we have to tell Brighton the deal is off before splashing half that 111mil about.
Even if true, that bit won't exactly be hard to do considering he supposedly wants to 'only join Chelsea'
seen one say that having slept on it he’s changed his mind about wanting to come lfc… no idea on truth though. Just gonna be a waiting game
No, we absolutely don't. We're well, well under our FFP limits and quite possibly have another £300m to chuck, We won't, because of our self-imposed credit limits, but that's beside the point.
that's a separate point. we are talking only about splashing the 111mil we now know ow we have access to. yes you are right if fsg wanted to float another 289mil from nowhere it could be spent
