Moises Caicedo - bid submitted

Big Willie

Ricky1985 As much as it was sad when our best left for Barcelona, how could you really knock them for it?

I could. Quite a bit at that.

Clrnc

Pepe LeFrits He's definitely a good backup option on our hands, can just activate and bring him over like Partey on the last few hours of the window so that allows us to try for Caicedo as long as we can.

Big Willie I like to be in our position. Tap the players up, unsettle them and make them twerk for us. Arteta learned as much as he could from Barcelona. It's not funny when people do it to us and definitely not right, but I rather be in this position and have the massive pull again.

IBL

GooneriC I'm sure we could also get Declan Rice for way less than that amount!

Pepe LeFrits

GooneriC Good. A waste of money , find alternatives. What's Amrabat's situation . Could we tempt him and Fiorentina?

Zubimendi's release clause is £52m, apparently. I wonder whether that factors into the club's thinking...

Meatwad

Pepe LeFrits

if zubimendi was open to leaving in january i think we would trigger his release clause no doubt. but either he's telling the truth or lying about not wanting to leave in january to give barca the best opportunity to work something out for him in the summer. either case the player doesn't want to leave in january so no point in going after him now. moises wants to leave.

Tactics

If Brighton aren't playing ball then we should stop wasting time and trigger Enzo's release clause (around £105m) if it is financially feasible. Having a press resistant high volume passer could take our game/midfield to another level.

Not signing a top class CM this window isn't an option given where we find ourselves.

JazzG

This dude sounds more like Brighton's spokesman than a journalist.

Pepe LeFrits

JazzG This dude sounds more like Brighton's spokesman than a journalist.

haha he seems to take it all very personally.

Meatwad

JazzG

what i do know is that they are dealing with a man that sells these south americans on the idea of being their gateway to premier league riches (real riches, not brighton riches). fuck around and you'll find out that these south american agents can find other clubs that will put their players in the shop window.

Gazza M

worked for Brighton's local paper for over 30 years. he's just a total homer who has been stung by previous transfer sagas

Coombs

Typical uppity BHA types. Such an annoying club and fan base.

We should just pay up. In 2 years it'll look a bargain as clrnc says. Arsenal fans still so worried about money...

Qwiss

Meatwad yeah this isn't football manager. You need to player to be on board before you trigger the release clause, like the way we had Partey lined up well in advance.

Bernard Woolley

I'm not really sold on Caicedo to be honest. Much prefer either a Zubimendi type or (my preference) an out-and-out physical specimen (much like Partey is) like Khephren Thuram or Anguissa (or maybe even both). Beats me why we passed on Danilo, honestly (although he is of course not the immediate Partey replacement we crave currently).

HomeSteak

The press is really invested in this one

IBL

HomeSteak not much else going on at the moment so yeah they're gonna milk it big time

Claudius

This one will get done at 10:30pm deadline day. Edu will be rushing around London Colney looking for the fax machine and phone jack. Hopefully, he has Dick Law on speed dial.

HomeSteak

Here we go, second bid

lorddulaarsenal

Clrnc you must be loving this time at Arsenal - we’re chasing a lot of players you like

Clrnc

lorddulaarsenal Absolutely. It's a dream man. Seriously wishlisted and liked Mudryk and Caicedo in the summer so you can imagine my delight when we were linked with them, let alone try so hard to sign both.

Next up is Mitoma, if we have a space for a winger.

QuincyAbeyie

Credit to Clrnc for wishlisting this guy even before the summer (?). Wonder what he would've cost then.

lorddulaarsenal

This time next year our squad will be sensational

Elneny ——-> Caicedo
Lokonga——-> Rice
Pepe————> Chiesa or suchlike
Holding ———> Tomiyasu curtesy of Fresneda
Tierney ———-> not sure but they’ll be good

Mirth

lorddulaarsenal and you’ll have Patino back from loan too

KingslandBarge

The Brighton propaganda is amusing. I welcome histrionics (esp. that guy Naylor/Phil Leotardo) if Edu sweeps this over the line. I actually had sympathy beforehand because we've turned their midfield lynchpin's head when european qualification is not out of the realm of possibility. Not so much at the moment
