No, which tells me they actually are on dodgy ground with the rules - only have to look at how they’ve been brokering deals of late. It’s been very unusual terms
I checked the date. Unless this is dribs communicating to us from the past again. time travel is certainly tricky.
Well, it's not over yet. I hear the deal was agreed at 3 am with Brighton, but I'm hoping and praying that the club has actually done due diligence with the player and checked that he would actually come to us if we won the bidding - otherwise, there will be some MASSIVE egg-on-the-face this afternoon. Remember, it's the reverse of the Lavia situation yesterday in that Chelsea had bid higher, but even had they met Soton's £50m evaluation, it was expected that the player, preferring to move to Liverpool, would have expected Liverpool to match that bad and go to us. No, not over yet.
Serious, serious questions then - apart from the utter humiliation, and the fact that any moral high ground about big spending has gone for nothing, why would the club outbid Chelsea without checking with his him and his representatives? Just knew as soon as Klopp was emphasising the point that the clubs only, and not the player as well, had agreed to terms that Klopp, I think, knew the Caicedo was in no rush to leave London today. And God, how does this make poor Lavia feel? If I was him I'd **** us off big style.
This is a big clusterfuck! We should have had this purchase wrapped up weeks ago or walked away and focused elsewhere. Instead we ****ed around signing a bunch of 18 year olds who wont feature for years, if ever, and Tyler ****ing Adams all whilst trying to lowball Brighton for Caicedo. If we lose Caicedo to Liverpool its no ones fault but our board. I guess its up to the player now
Only wants to join chelsea apparently Back to square one then. Player seems a ****, never wanted him anyway
Must be wages related or knows he can get another move soon enough by going to chelsea? Who says transfer windows have to be boring !
He's yours to lose. Our clusterfuck has not been checking with the player he'd come to us if we put that bid in. You could see from Klopp's conference this morning that he knows the player isn't coming, despite the emphasis on the clubs agreeing terms. He's made it pretty clear he doesn't want to come to us - but there's a lad at Soton who does whom we've pissed on. You will come out of all this a lot better than us, for sure.
Aye, now Brighton might refuse to deal with us unless we match your offer, and Caicedo will be stuck at Brighton and likewise Lavia now might tell you to do one, now that you basically showed him he was your Plan B. Neither of us might end up with our targets now. Like I said yesterday, ****ing American owners!
