Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[the chimp]

There were reports in the press of another (unnamed) interested party that had come in for Caicedo middle of last week. We know we'd looked at him last season too. It looks like we wanted Lavia but not at the price Southampton wanted and so our incremental bids there were more to ensure we still had a plan B. I don't think when news of our interest in Caicedo came out after the Chelsea interest in Lavia it was us responding to that, I think it was them trying to bully us in to dropping our interest in a player everyone seemed to think was nailed on for Chelsea. The average cost of our 3 new midfielders in 65m each, which for a full upgrade and the money we managed to get in seems really good. Andre is January seems a logical Thiago replacement too. What a difference a day makes. Appreciate we're not perfect and some work in defence still required but fuck me, I'd have been delighted with this end of last season.

I'm waiting to see what the fuck happens when John Henry finds out what Jorg has done.

Brighton should send 50ml to Southampton to fuck Chelsea over

Well sell him in a few years, mate. Thats why they allowed the outlay, hes just 21, hell still have resale value in a few years.

You'll have to excuse my cynicism, but I'll believe it when I see it

That’s their sustainable model isn’t it. Assuming the deal gets over the line.

So basically we have made it public we are interested but haven’t/won’t bid to show everyone that we tried.

 

It’s absolute amateur hour at this club, I think they all should go and I’m close to saying so should Jurgen. I just can’t believe a man of his standing is putting up with this crap makes him look weak.

Looks like Jurgen said something???

I am going for Caicedo to be an LFC player by Saturday.

Called it mate , fair do’s I had lost faith.

[Chris]

Can’t believe there are people going out of their way to put a negative spin on this. 
 

oh we’ll sell him in a few years…

oh why have we waited this long?

oh why didn’t we just get Bellingham then?

 

It’s a sickness.

To Thiago’s credit, he seems to not want to have anything to do with the Saudi Arabian ‘project’, even though it would surely double his salary. 

 

Hopefully he’ll be in some way available for us this season. 

I would keep him for what he can pass on to the younger players and if we get 15 games plus some sub appearances , happy days.

[Creator Supreme]

I can smell the failed medical from here!

  £110m. No way is he worth that amount. Happy for them to be spending that much on him.

Completely agree. 
 

We were all crying out we needed a defensive midfielder, we’ve signed the best one in the league last season. Somebody who will perfectly dovetail with Trent. 

 

Granted, it’s an awful lot of money, it’s not our money, unfortunately, it’s the going rate. 
 

Another way of looking at it is we’ve revamped our midfield at the cost of c.£70m per player.

 

Its a proper, proper statement of intent.

3 times the fee, 10 times the talent.

GET THE ALE IN

[Moctezuma]

Bonkers but interesting/enjoyable news to wake up to.

 

Any chance we'll get in a left centre half as well?

 

[Moctezuma]

Wonder what Lavia and Southampton are thinking?

[skend04]

Go to sleep for 7 hours and wake up to find that Henry has been foraging around the back of his sofa for some extra pennies. 

 

No wonder we dragged our feet on the Lavia deal... unless someone says we're signing him too.

[Freddo]

This is some statement of intent isn't it. Delighted and hope we can get it finalised today.
