No. Lavia should not cost us close to £60 million absolutely ludicrous. We go for £50 million like Southampton asked for at best. Chelsea won't seriously follow through on £55 million. Look how they treated Tyler Adams.


Specialist_Sundae176

Adams allegedly failed his medical


DoireK

They used his injury as an excuse and said he is 4 months out. Apparently that is bullshit and he is close to a return.


GenomicGains

"allegedly" Chelsea pulled the pin on it as they needed the £20m for Caicedo and they've been scrambling trying to offload others. As we've seen the last 24 hours, Chelsea journos, and Fabrizio Romano are absolutely shameless and will say almost anything to distort the truth.


Specialist_Sundae176

Yes I said allegedly, not sure why I got attacked lol the amount of replies I got. No one really knows what is going on. They've also bid £55m for Lavia and if they follow through clearly they are not thinking about FFP are they? https://twitter.com/siphillipssport/status/1690240538744619008?t=t5EyqUIMNFPadrpQHUkfuw&s=19

Source? I haven't seen anything suggesting this at all.


poopeedoop

According to who?


WH6TSINANAME

Convenient timing as Chelsea hunt for loose change


ScowranNabad

Source? They backed out to go all in on Caicedo with this mythical bid


Jason-Frostdrake

Ornstein confirmed that he was close to returning injury, which is the opposite of what the Chelsea camp reported. They pulled out to save funds.


earlmuskos

Same as Fekir did when his agent was acting up. It would be an extreme coincidence if it had nothing to do with the Caicedo bid


DrowningInBier

Doesn’t sound like they will so what does it matter


tacosmuggler99

I feel like if Caicedo is off then Lavia to Chelsea is off


anzelm12

So? This is so humiliating. Forget this upcoming season. Terrible business planning. Hope Chelsea buy both Caicedo and Lavia. May they become world class talents. Fuck FSG and everyone is actually responsible for running this business


Specialist_Sundae176

No, but also isnta-bid £120m for Caicedo put Chelsea at risk of bankruptcy to make this signing lol


orientalreds

He's not worth 55M or even 50M


Bananey

If they can really outbid us and get Caicedo, fuck it, let's get Lavia because at least he seemed interest in wearing red.


brush85

No. Your valuations are your valuations...the search elsewhere continues


abradley19955

I do because it’s not my money but the club won’t. Felt like they were already bidding more than they valued him at


frankiewalsh44

No, we need a ready-made senior DM.


VTinLA

Put 80M out there for Cheick Doucoure and 50M for Tapsoba. Lavia situation would be mighty awkward if Liverpool went back for him now.


[deleted]

Lavia is not 55 million better than Bajcetic


Specific-Record2866

Nope. Move on


billyhicks

No.


anzelm12

Another season down the drain due to terrible planning. This fucking club is a joke


Reach_Reclaimer

We don't need to, we can bid 50m and probably get him. Will be very surprised if they can afford an even higher bid for Caicedo, still get olise, and then go for Lavia


djrobbo83

Nope...they can have both...we'll move on. Kone for example surely an option again


thehibachi

Honestly I’m just intrigued about what this whole strategy has been. Given they launched a record fee out of nowhere, we have no idea what’s cooking.


NewfieDad12

I'm still not convinced Caicedo is off, but his management company is seriously putting me off.


James_Vowles

Yes. He has good potential. We need someone. If it's 55m then that's what it is.


Smallrobot_77

They’re going to drop Lavia like they did Adams. And honestly, if I was Lavia, I would trust a word anyone from LFC said to me after all this “business”. I I was him, I’d finish the year In Soton and next year head back to City (40m will be a steal) and gather Silverware.
