[Albion] £115m

i think Rushi should intervene ....he's gotta be chelsea surely

The way Chelsea have handled this, I assume Rishi has been pulling the strings, all along.

 

[sparkie]

You are being far too kind to Chelsea here.

Reports imply that Chelsea spent the morning presenting renewed terms to the player, despite having no agreement with Brighton. The player wants to move to Chelsea as it's the best deal for him and his representatives and I'd presume he wants to move quickly.

Can't happen unless Liverpool walk away. Bloom will stick to his word.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Am sick of this saga. Sell him to highest bidder and move on

They tried that last night

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Ok Chelsea.

£111m and Colwill please.

I like your style.

We did.

Yep and I think it will come to that.

Personally I think it will end with Caicedo going to Chelsea and joint statements from Liverpool and Brighton saying something along the lines of the fact they had agreed a price but Caicedo made it clear he wanted to go Chelsea so when they matched Liverpool's offer, Liverpool withdrew their interest leaving Caicedo free to join Chelsea. They'll emphasise that both Brighton and Liverpool acted honestly and professionally throughout and indirectly make it clear that neither appreciate Chelsea's actions. Chelsea will have their man but it will be clear to the outside world what a vile club they are and how low Caicedo and his agent's standards are.

Why can't it happen? Brighton might want to honour the deal but if Moises has no intention of signing for Liverpool there's not much the club can do.

He supports Southampton.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

He's a Southampton fan.

Was that him at the Fans Forum last night?

No matter what deals and baqck-handers are agreed with his agent they are all entirely irrelevant unless Brighton agree a deal with Chelsea. We don't have to do any such thing if we don't want to.

Then he stays with us. Win win.

 

[Kosh]

Errrrr not really win win is it… ? More like he stays - he refuses to play and/or is excluded by Roberto for all the right reasons… following this afternoon’s press conference, I’d suggest the ONLY win is to sell him and fast.

I agree. I was saying that Chelsea are clearly trying to stop the player from moving to Liverpool (according to reports) today. I'm convinced that will be accompanied by a bid of equal or higher value to Liverpool's bid (eventually) or he'll stay a Brighton player (or more likely, suddenly find Liverpool's offer was good enough after all!)

All I was saying is that the Albion can still accept a bid from Chelsea irrelevant of the deadline last night, and if it is clear to Liverpool that he isn't going to join them, I don't think they'd expect or want us to force a move.

 

[Dibdab]

There is no way Moises can stay.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

If Chelsea fully match Liverpool's offer (amount, structure etc.) then we will accept.

And no other club will join an auction with Brighton again. Tony and Paul value their reputations in football.

Feel like the club are stuck in the middle of all this. Moises and his agent have demonstrated some of worst things about the modern game.

That would create a precedent for other players. It would mean a BHA contract is only one sided and in the player’s favour. Hugely damaging for the club. There is nothing in Tony’s dealings that make me think he would back down in the way you suggest.

You wouldn’t say that if you saw how he dresses.

We’ll only sell to Chelsea if Liverpool withdraw their offer and pull out. But I suspect they’ve got someone who can influence Moises and he’ll be contacting him shortly.
