Moises Caicedo - bid submitted

QuincyAbeyie

Not watching that. We're not getting him, he'll be a Chelsea player in a few days.

JazzG

Wow would be an incredible signing if we pull this off.

Chelsea probably preparing a 10 year contract right now! They probably will get involved so need to wrap this up quickly if we want him.

Prefer Rice

Qwiss

Gunner89 I hope we sign Caicedo and it kills any chance of Rice coming here.

Don Pacifico

I can't see us getting him for the reasons already mentioned by others but it's now very clear that we have a range of targets that we'll cycle through if we don't get him. Only a few days to go, so need to be sure we have a few pans in the fire.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico yep need to push this one now. If Chelsea come in again we just move onto the next one without Chelsea there to gazzump us.

Really hope we've got Caicedo on the hook personally though. He'd be ideal.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss Exactly this.

The fact that Brighton have already rejected our bid feels quite apt in light of that point. 😂

goon

Qwiss hopefully we have a back up lined up too who we're a little more certain about bringing in, but with 4 days left I worry any backup option might be Douglas Luiz desperation level. Would rather overpay for this lad than waste 25m on a player with no real prospects.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Don't do it to yourselves.

Let's see how much we will go for our 2nd bid.

We have a very good relationship with Brighton, having paid up what they wanted for both Trossard and White. Get Caicedo now, then target Mitoma in the summer. 😆

Gazza M

pretty swift rejection. it will take 75m to get it done I reckon. not too invested in the outcome here, feels like a long shot. reckon we might try one more time, fail, and keep powder dry for summer

Pepe LeFrits

Gazza M I'm inclined to agree.

JazzG

Gazza M Who would you go for instead of him in the summer?

Segway

I wonder why we even bothered submit a bid of 60m. Seems fair to not value him higher but surely the club is aware that Brighton would not accept that.

goon

Segway maybe to test their stance and see if they budge. Seems like the player is pretty keen on securing a move in general.

Clrnc

Segway Standard game play. Like how we tried for White etc.

Qwiss

goon I'd happily keep pushing here. I think we'll look a bit silly if we miss out on another of our top targets.

Qwiss

goon he's just switched agents. I think he's pushing for this. Brighton have just got rid of an unsettled Trossard, do they really want to start another situation like that straight away?

Burnwinter

Qwiss

If £60m is right for the right centre mid, I can't see why £75m is insane. He's not gonna be any cheaper in summer if we win the league, and it's not gonna be any fun in summer if we don't and we're still looking for a mid.

Xhaka cost us £30m before the market was this insane, and he's been average for a lot of his time here.

JazzG

No point putting in half arsed bids, need to go all the way and get this done.

The guy can provide cover/competition for Partey & Xhaka.
