Sign him on a 20 year deal.
FFP is both arcane and toothless.
They'll probably have to cool it down a wee bit at one point.
Yeah, this is a really sad comment, typed through gritted teeth.
Plus great that whoever they negotiate with next will know how much money Liverpool have to throw at them
I mean they still have 20 days don't they?20 minutes since I last asked. Where is Chelsea's bid? Are they fecking with Brighton again?
They have different skillsets and would play together. You've listed every position that we've got depth in.
RB: Reece James and Malo Gusto
LB: Chilwell, Cucurella, Maatsen
CB: Disasi, Colwill, Badiashille, Silva, Chalobah
Instead of signing 40 Brazilian teenagers we should have wrapped up Caicedo long ago. We are as desperate, if not more than Liverpool are for a center midfielder.
Never seen this particular player play before, but just as a general point, surely it's worth trying to develop that player yourself or even buy and loan back to save yourself the huge cost incurred from sitting back and watching them develop somewhere else. The huge mark up on players like Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo in a short period of time don't exactly suggest that 'wait and see' model is a sustainable one.
Amortisation bro.
Wow. I had no idea we had talented poets on the caf. Brilliant!
You are desperate for a CM for sure. But not at that price, not if it means the backline that plays in a few months time is Gusto Chalobah Colwill Cucurella. With Mudryk, Jackson, Sterling as your forwards. That's dreadful.
You buy cheaper CMs and strengthen elsewhere. You don't go into a bidding war that will kill everything.
Over 47000 members. Some of us are bound to be talented poets.
Has to catch up with them soon though, surely
Strongly disagree.
Everything's written in pencil and they just rub out what they don't want to count.
I actually quite like that idea.
Why? Big clubs are offered players every day of the week. It would be a nonsense to sign them all on off chance one in 37 of them one day reach a £100m valuation.
@mods I just spotted a clone account of Amadeus
I dont think they can.
when it comes to embarrassing weeks, lizzo can thank her lucky stars for klopp.
Come on Boehly match their offer
Based on what?
What happens if Chelsea don't match or exceed the bid? Liverpool bound? Or stays at Brighton?
I see a 4.5 million purchase price for Caicedo in 2021 for Brighton. One full season and a loan later and it is 110 mil! Wow. The fees this summer are nuts. He was a good player last year, we will have to wait and see if he can make that next step up.
Brighton is going to be paving their stadium in gold fairly soon at this rate.

Joins that mob
Based on Poch being the new Chelsea manager
Haven’t they raised shed loads of money through sales this summer?
Caicedo rejecting Liverpool maybe confirms that he is really Man Utd fan? What's the deal with Liverpool, want to sign the whole Brighton midfield?
Whatever it is I'm sure your lot will inflate itHopefully this’ll skyrocket Southampton’s valuation on Lavia. And we get 20% of the sell-on fee. Happy days
Presumably him and his agent told Liverpool he'd be open to a move, else Liverpool are rank amateurs who made themselves look like clowns.
Yeah I was thinking this although they accordinf to transfermrkt they are only about 40m euros in the black this summer then when you consider how much they spent in January.
I'm sure I've heard some people on here saying they are actually okay but not sure how after taking a really basic look.
Think we can bury him ever being a Utd fan
They do in the sense of live/living/livestyle centred around liverpool which includes work.
What? You think we need to be buying more backups in defense in the event that both our first choice fullbacks go down and we have to play our 5th CB?
Provided Maatsen is in instead of Cucurella, that back-line is probably better than what you'd have to trot out in that scenario:
Gomez - Konate - Nat Phillips - Tsimikas
I don't see why not. Chelsea have always been more receptive to United transfers than the rest of the big 6.
Exactly, I don't think there's a big rivalry between both clubs, if anything, pleasant business.
More likely that he's be expecting to be a Chelsea player most of the summer, and Chelsea have reassured him that they will pay up despite Liverpool coming in for him.
Not really sure it's representative of who he supports at all, to be honest. Footballers support themselves and their own interests at the end of the day.
Although, I agree that going to Chelsea doesn't rule out him every playing for United. I don't think he ever will, mind, but the two clubs are much more likely to do business compared to United and Liverpool.
Cold hard facts is Brighton outsmarted everyone else when they signed him for peanuts
