Mystery club. Bid rejected. More than £80m. Come on. We know it’s Bloom feeding Naylor this info :lol:
 
They told Caicedo the bid is confidential? What sort of tomfoolery is this? :lol:

What would be the point to bid 80m for a player, if you don’t know in advance whether he fancies such a move at all?
 
I’ve always wondered if it would be possible to place anonymous bids to the club, but obviously the player/agent will know the bidding club. Might help us avoid the so called “United tax”.
 
Wouldn't be a bad idea to keep every transfer confidential, especially the value bid...you could argue its in the selling clubs interest to let it be known whats been bid to get the price up. The downside to that is once you accept the bid everyone else knows you are totally minted.

I’m actually leaning towards the bid not being real and this is just Brighton engaging in media shenanigans.
 
Chelsea are readying to put a combine bid for caicedo and Sanchez. That was the rumour circulating from yesterday. This new bid from mystery club came out of nowhere. You can't rule out anything.
 
Brighton after Chelsea tell them to accept the other offer if they love it so much.

So the key to me for satisfying greed, saving face, etc, etc, would be to pay 90 for Caicedo, and pay at or near the full asking price for Sanchez. (30m? Rly?)

Any money going to the Sanchez deal rather than Caicedo’s is money Brighton doesn’t have to hand a huge chunk over to that Ecuadorian team.

There is no Saudi team or “confidential” offer. They make offers ONLY so people will pay attention to them. And, in return, there’s no major interest in other targets.

We are both FOS at the moment. That’s why I thought the Sanchez pursuit came to the surface now though.I saw that as a way to make this deal happen as soon as it started coming up again.
 
Could be arsenal if they manage to shift balogun (£35-40m)?
Not sure what their ffp situation is though
 
Brighton are no different than any other club. They will use the media to further their cause if they need to.

Very rare, if ever. Usually, getting anything other than official bids is nearly impossible. Caceido stated he may be leaving a day before the bid was announced. So I believe the bid is true. Not Chelsea which leaves five clubs it could be from the Premier League.

Caceido under pressure to move from his own entourage. Money?
 
Was just thinking that they bid for rice who is a flexible midfielder, this lad can play multiple positions including RB which might interest them with Walker potentially leaving

Their bid for Rice was open & the pull of Guardiola/City will tempt a player like Caicedo, who is already edgy, to revolt. Why would they go anonymous and weaken their position? This sounds like something Boehly would do.
