Someone tell Liverpool that Scott McTominay is available for £30m.
£30m? Maybe if they are chucking Gakpo in on top.

It would be the end of the Caf if that happened Guessing his wages would be too much though and he only seems to want Real anyway.Surely they are not far from Mbappé money, they should give it a go.
If he doesn’t want to go then what can they do? Kidnap him?
oh i see, popcorn timeLiverpool bid was accepted but the player rejected them. The question is whether he rejected Liverpool or rejected their current contract offer.
Coutinho went for 250m?To be fair both of them and Caicedo have been paid for by the Coutinho money.
Jurgen "net spend" Klopp is beyon reproach. You should know this by now.
'everyone' isn't honed in on this one player...two clubs are, and one of them were in talks for another player who plays in the same position and the other clubs main target wanted to go elsewhere.Despite the uuming and aahing, the price was set way, way back and only further cemented by the Rice sale. Nobody was obligated to indulge or engage, and yet here we are, the most ridiculous saga unfolding before our eyes.
If there are 'plenty of other Caicedos to pick from' why is everyone honed in on this one, for an eye-watering amount of money?
Chelsea are very much a team on the up
Coutinho went for 250m?
nono, you have to do it at todays exchange rates and allow for inflation too. Its at least €350m by now, and that's before add-ons. Plus if they hadn't taken the Barcelona money they would have sold him to Saudi this season for an additional 100 or so, need to take that into account too. They are still the net spend champions, always will be la.Coutinho went for 250m?
Brighton are utilising my caf scout reports by targeting a player I mentioned last year.
We shouldn’t be in FFP trouble at all. Everything we did last year is wiped completely off the slate. We were able to spend a ton to fill up a 3 yr avg spend we did t get to use. They deals closed before June 30th went towards that previous cycle as well.Who gives a shit. As long as the scousers don't get Ciacedo it's a good day.
If this means Chelsea are in FFP trouble that's just a bonus...

We need to sign that guy right now!!

Can't deny that this saga hurts, and doesn't put us in a great light. How the feck are we negotiating with a club about a player who we don't even know wants to join us yet? Seems like a waste of time and effort. But fair enough, if he doesn't want to be at Liverpool we should just leave it at that and look elsewhere, the worst possible outcome is signing a player for £111m whose sole objective/interest seems to be money.
Given Liverpool probably offered him £120k pw.Yeah agreed. Chelsea fans will act like he wanted them over Liverpool as he's proper Chels when in reality he saw the wages and signing on fee and thought I want some of that.
They're club signings with ten Hag working with the club to sign the players with a view to developing the team towards a proactive attacking play style. And last season there was upheaval with both heads of scouting leaving along with the previous incumbents (Woodward & Judge) which required the head coach to assist with recruitment whilst the new football structure was taking shape.I mean... any sort of narrative that ends up calling Antony and Lisandro Martinez anything other than Ten Hag signings is clearly a bullshit narrative, constructed with the purpose of insulting others' intelligence. Come on now.
I would actually do that if I were one of your teams. One of the othe players they had in their replacement shortlist was that Leslie Ungochkwa(?) from France and we DID go ahead and buy him now for Strassbourg.We need to sign that guy right now!!
2 from the big 5 is more than we tend to see, and again, if this guy isn't anything special, why are they prepared to pay so much for him? You say desperation, yet Chelsea have been hanging around him since the window opened and that was already with the price sky high according to the regard you're giving the player.'everyone' isn't honed in on this one player...two clubs are, and one of them were in talks for another player who plays in the same position and the other clubs main target wanted to go elsewhere.
Both clubs wanted other targets, they've had all window to get what they need and haven't, so they are now in desperation phase and they know the price for Caicedo and know he wants to leave.
Funny how when United pay over the odds for someone, that player is seen as too expensive and not worth the money, yet when other clubs pay well over the odds that player is a world class talent who is one of a kind!
Yeah agreed. Chelsea fans will act like he wanted them over Liverpool as he's proper Chels when in reality he saw the wages and signing on fee and thought I want some of that.
Currently what is your starting midfield?
Brighton hijacked Caicedo from us, off the recommendation from our scoutsHonestly just sacking our entire scouting department and hijacking every Brighton signing might be the way to go.

But we won’t be able to hijack all playing minutes Brighton also provides. Various Mctominays and VDBs take themHonestly just sacking our entire scouting department and hijacking every Brighton signing might be the way to go.

Didn't fancy living off inhalers and redbull.Klopp's pull is finished. All that heavy metal gengenpressing bullshit not enticing any more - players look at them and don't see an upward trajectory
Below are my posts from last year about the player.There is a French guy I know who has been raving about this kid for a long, long time.
"Potentially a very good signing for Salzburg who will look to make a tidy profit in the coming years. I think both Lucas Gourna-Douath and Moises Caicedo are two young players to keep an eye on. Caicedo looks to be a player who could develop into a real all-rounder in midfield."expand...
