Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for a British record fee of £115m. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66491106 How is he worth £115m and Kane only £104m ?
Real Madrid have signed Spain goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea on a season-long loan. And we can't get rid of Lloris. Who I've no doubt would have been cheaper and they could have bought him
More importantly, how long before clubs start holding off on signing Brighton players and wait for their contracts to run down, similar to what happened with Leicester?
Length of contract he is on at Brighton but neither amount makes any real sense. Kane has lost >£50m by leaving a year early and Bayern have paid £100m for one extra season.
contract length (kane is will be going for free next year) and also age (if caicedo is a hit, he will have 9 extra years on Kane) Plus theres the english tax (selling to rivals) and also the fact it is chelsea (money bags) buying caicedo vs bayern (this shouldn't play a part but it does). I'm sure if Levy was to sanction kane to either United or Chelsea we would probably have paid more than the 104m that you got
All of this is correct, plus two other factors. The first is Brighton's hard negotiating, due to Ceicedo's old club having a sell-on clause. Ecuador's Independiente del Valle take 20%, which is around £23m. It's enormous money for them. Their new 12,000 capacity stadium cost $12m in 2021. The other is that they had serious competition from Liverpool. Nobody other than Bayern seemed to make a serious move for Kane this summer, for some reason. Probably felt that they had a chance to pick him up for nothing next year.
Brazilian, like for like, centre forward, international, tattooed and likes a dodgy hair cut you say .......
Ornstein is claiming that Lavia has also turned down Liverpool to join Chelsea. That's a lot of midfielders for a team with no European football, isn't it?
Poch is like a kid in a sweet shop after his affair with Levy OR is he a sleeper who will bankrupt them and take them down , laughing as he tells them its revenge for the battle of the bridge, ripping his shirt off to reveal a large tattoo " AUDERE EST FACERE
Roma getting Paredes for just €4m seems like one of the bargains of the window. He’d have been a very sound potential Hojbjerg replacement.
If the twat we had yesterday was reffing this, then Utd would have about six yellow cards already. So many fouls, many of which are off the ball and not called at all. They're really struggling with Wolves, who just don't look like they've got a cutting edge.
I hope Ange, Levy and the scouts are keeping an eye on who Brighton are looking to replace Caicedo with. Gonna cost £3m and a pint but will no doubt be worth £90m in 18 months.
Don’t you feel like all your hopes and aspirations for the season have been dashed before the first half of August has gone?
