    The media is so fucking bias beggars belief.. Liverpool get a draw at Chelsea (actually a good result)and our new beginning has "stalled" after one league fixure Yet poch brings attacking super duper football back for Chelsea.
    Simple question whos gonna score enough goals for them?? lets hope they fail to get into the champion league again and go down the shitter financially . Then again rules don't apply to them. they probably should have gone to fuck when Roman was ousted. but the government saved them this time.

    Caicedo is a different player with a different valuation and a different situation. They probably went right in with their best offer to see if they could snatch him. If not, we move on. It's not like there are only 2 DMs in the world that would do us.
    And your probably spot on with that assessment in fairness. But if we really wanted Lavia we should have given the 50mil to get him in.

    Now we may have none or over pay even more for Lavia.

    I see some reports we are now looking at tchouemani again. Will we ever learn?

    Also sangare.

    Agree with you on the price. It's a big risk.

    Transfers in many cases are just bidding wars. I don't think we'll match or better £55m for him. We'll probably look elsewhere.

    Time will tell. But we need a DM very soon. The last 3 weeks were wasted and now teams have seen our hand we may forced to overpay.

    Will be the guts of £170m for Lavia and Caicedo if they acquire both.

    Show of hands for those who would have wanted us to spend that kind of cheddar on two young mids who weren't yet the complete package?

    It's not all that far off being DOUBLE what we paid for Szoboszlai and Mac Allister.

    Do not misinterpret me here - I want us to spend - but these deals not working out may yet prove to be not the worst thing, though that is entirely dependent on who we recruit of course.

    well no we never learn.Maybe if Mbappe was available for Madrid they may have sold us Tchouemani. but we know now hes signed an extension with Psg
    I think its more likely we end up with no one and that would be one massive fuck up and theres been plenty of them

    Think this is the sensible way to look at it BUT you're asking if everyone agrees spending 170mill on those two,..........without offering an alternative......i think that's the problem for most.

    Surely if there was any chance at all of getting Tchoameni we would have been bidding or offering for him before Caicedo?
    He's clearly a player they've wanted for a long time.

    My gut tells me were dodging a bullet with Caicedo. He played up in the January transfer window to go to Arsenal. Brighton want rid of him, and he wants to live in London apparently. If Lavia ends up at Chelski surely he's going to be sitting on the bench. If these players want to sell their souls to the devil, let them get on with it. Like our playing style, im sure we dont have a plan b regarding transfers. Were going end up with more sick notes aren't we ?

    No way are we getting Madrid player Tchouemani, He played for Madrid over the weekend.
