I m surprised this didn't happen earlier in the window. I said all along that lavia would be an ideal backup to Caceido for Pochettino team. Both can co exist in the same team and he present much more value than Adam's.

Now all Pochettino need is one of olise/cherki and perhaps felix on another loan to buy (dependent on how Borja is doing). If kepa leaves than they would always need costa of course. His team is barely prepared for the season.

You reckon they’ll be going for both? I suppose it’s possible…
 
I think Liverpool played with fire here. From what I understand all the City clauses in the contract guaranteed anything less than approx 50m£ would not be interesting to the Saints & Lavia is a close enough plan B for Caicedo at half the price.

Yea definitely both. It isn't Caceido or lavia unless Brighton reject chelsea new offer. Chelsea squad doesn't really have depth and their only other number 6 they have is that kid Ugochukwu from Rennes who might be loaned out. Santos did well for them in that role, but even he is not a natural number 6. Lavia is at the right age although a more expensive alternative to play that subsidiary number 6 role or even play in a midfield three with Caceido and enzo as the cm. It made sense and with one of their sporting director working with lavia before, I wonder why it took them this long.

The only inquiry I have is whether chelsea has dropped their interest in Adam's now

Depends who they get instead. In the past FSG eventually cough up money so let's hope this doesn't end up with them getting someone even better

If the better player existed or was available wouldn’t they be focusing on them instead anyway?
 
We’ve had reports just in the last hour that a breakthrough has been made with Brighton for Caicedo at £90m + add ons. Then moments later we place a bid for Lavia?

I can’t imagine us getting both so I’m going to say this is a pure pressure play to get Brighton to hurry along.

They were going to sign Charlie Adams?

Or one or both of the “reports” were social media clickbait.

I can't see why not. This is the type of support the manager needs and the type of depth his squad needs to be competitive.

Caceido, lavia, enzo, Gallagher and Santos is good enough for the double pivot position. With carni and gallagher playing more of an understudy to the main number 10. Much better signing than Adam's that is for sure.

--------Caceido/lavia - enzo/Gallagher
Olise/Madueke --- Nkunku/carni ----- Mudryk/sterling

by the time santos is ready, you would have sold gallagher and then santos can have more game minutes.

No Tony Adam's. Just kidding, Tyler Adams

No way they still spend a fortune on Caicedo when they're looking to bring in Adams and Lavia

You know what I meant. This regime are spending on a scale and timespan that's never been seen in PL history.

Trying to brute force a title winning team.

It's astounding this hasn't put Chelsea miles outside ffp rules.
 
What's with a 48m bid? they want 50m.. there are 2 clubs interested.. they'll clearly hold on for 50.

The Caicedo “breakthrough” may very well be clickbait. But Ornstein doesn’t really put out shite so I think the Lavia bid is real.
 
This is so funny. Nice move Celski.
I just hope that Pool doesn't go for Caicedo now. Which would be logical to do. Or Amrabat.

One of the better shows at the moment.

Wonder if the Caicedo deal is off. I suspect Lavia would not be keen to join Chelsea to play second fiddle to him.

If we keep hearing about Tyler Adams rumours alongside Lavia, then I'd fear we've given up on Caicedo.

Any scenario without Caicedo is pretty disastrous to be honest. Would be left with a bunch of kids in midfield and Enzo.
