Brighton have sold Caicedo and Mac Allister for £170 million and do not look much worse off as a team 
They have some other awesome prospects in the pipeline such as Ferguson, Mitoma and Enciso yet have no need to sell.
Beautifully well run club.

Presume his tweet about Liverpool teaching Chelsea a transfer lesson over Caceido, when it looked like they’d won the race
Chelsea with a £280m midfield is obscene
It was the reply using SUCESSION which is without doubt one of the best tweets I’ve seen in many a moon.
That particular midfield is pretty darn full… but sure.
So Brighton and West Ham have midfields worth around £400m together.
As well as we do with getting huge prices for our unwanted players, if we’re buying Caicedo for £115m any bid from Real Madrid for a player we‘d actually want to keep will have to start at least £150m. Which they won’t do.
Should mean Reece James will be available to join his mate next summer when they have to sell about 8 players for £250m again.
To think we almost got him on the cheap.
Apparently. Now you're the only sane guy who has seen the robbery without violence perpetrated by Brighton and Westham.
Madness.

Romano leading the way with the news. Where’s all his haters?
Sell on clause?!
Who cares? This deification of journalists is incredibly weird.
Carney really struggled to link things together today. Enzo and Caicedo with Nkunku in front of them would be … amazing
I’m glad I’m not the only one that found that amusing
You have a weird affection for Pochettino
The same midfield that has Kamavinga, Bellingham, Tchouameni and co? I highly doubt that but okay.
Mostly just Liverpool fans who were in denial. The guy has pretty solid sources across most major leagues. It's actually very impressive.
They need reinforcement in midfield. Dahoud should be OK but they won’t get away playing Groß there against sides better than Luton, Gilmour hasn’t been that good and Enciso looks better higher up the pitch. It’s surprising they haven’t brought a Caceido replacement yet.Brighton have sold Caicedo and Mac Allister for £170 million and do not look much worse off as a team

They were genuinely linked with McTominay not that long ago... [insert praying.gif]
Orneson, or whatever his name is, the Liverpool journo who kept quiet throughout this all posted a few hours ago cryptically stating a deal was done. I won't lie I didn't want to believe it and my heart did sink then.
Tap In, despite being the Chelsea arse-to-mouthpiece from the start surprisingly wasn't given this titbit first.
Like wtf?! Pay over £110m AND still have to concede a portion of funds if he's sold by Chelsea?
Brighton have played an absolute blinder....and fair play.
The dippers agreed to a sell on clause so I guess we had to throw it in, Does it really matter on a 9 year contract?
It sounds like we really are going to do this to spite Liverpool

To be fair, I imagine a decent portion of that fee is tied to add-ons but we'd be happy to pay them since it would mean success.
Boehly came through with some serious investment. A lot of these guys are some of the most promising players around too. If/once it gels it could be some serious scary stuff.
Some careers will def be derailed though, just due to the sheer number of players signed

115+5, sell on and 8+1y contract, What's wrong with these people?
Enzo still looks nowhere near his price tag yet, as far as I'm concerned.
Hope it goes tits up for Chelsea. But after a billion spent, I feel they will finally start getting good. Their midfield is now excellent.
Maybe still a bit light in attack though.
Would love if we had owners with their kind of money. It surely can’t be sustainable though.

BHA have lost almost all the midfield of Bissouma, Mwepu, Moder, Mac Allister, Caicedo, and looked much too slow v. Luton. Also, the Caceido transfer of £31 million % goes to Ecuador.Brighton have sold Caicedo and Mac Allister for £170 million and do not look much worse off as a team

Eh? It’s £100m+£15m. The sell on clause will defo be a percentage of the amount above £115m.
All i would like to say is feck liverpool. Fecking basterds.
Won’t be answered this season or even the next…but it will be interesting to see if any of the £100+ million midfielders (Enzo, Rice, Caicedo) can actually live up to their price tags.
I’m not even sure if it’s possible, especially for Rice and Caicedo as their roles are limited in what they can bring to a team.

You are right but still. Its a record fee. 9years contract? I wonder if they start giving lifetime contracts too.
Two midfielders for £220m. Wow!
The fact they're genuinely trying sign Lavia as well is beyond bonkers.
