So we cannot stump up the extra for Lavia

Instead Skysports are reporting we have outbid Chelsea's offer of 80m for Caicedo.

What is going on in this transfer window.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea's offer is higher than £80M.}

Dont get your hopes up, we are not paying 100m for Caicedo.

So Liverpool's "offer" is higher than Chelsea's bid that is higher than 80mil? lol let the games begin!
or perhaps it's just the noise around the real transfer talk which of course we have no idea haha.

I'd heard this too.

Obviously, I'd be more than happy with Caicedo, but do we really think this is true?

That'd be a huge swerve and why would we suddenly jump into the race for Caicedo all of a sudden? . Perhaps they just believe that there's no chance with Lavia now?

Again, I'm doubtful.

Appreciated Ed002, i am unsighted to the details of the Chelsea offer etc. As mentioned i was stating what has been reported.

I guess my point was more, those negotiating transfers (Not FSG as many in the #FSGout movement seem to believe) wouldn't add a percentile to the Lavia deal to get it over the line, but will likely place a substantial amount more this close to the season opener to recruit Caicedo. (that is if reports are to be believed) .

If true it shows that actually the budget is there to spend should those negotiating wish to use it.

Nightmare scenario is Chelsea get both!
It’s all very frustrating and I feel sorry for Jurgen.

{Ed002's Note - And Tyler Adams.}

Chelsea do realise they can only play 11 players per game?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have sold a large number of players this summer and will be shipping quite a few out on loan to Strasbourg. They know what they are doing.}

Ed is their business model that much better than ours mate? To spend that much snd pull in those 3 players after the likes of Enzo etc. Jesus how can we compete with that.

{Ed002's Note - It is not to do with business models it is about identifying players the club wants and acting responsibly to sign them. If Liverpool had not screwed up with Amrabat and Ugarte they would be in better shape.}

Unlike Liverpool I presume Ed002.

It’s not a case of not having the £50m for Lavia (or willing to sign off on a £50m package) it’s Liverpool not valuing him at that amount. They may feel Caicedo for £90m and maybe different terms is better value.

@Cobra, the right player at the right price - that’s been the clubs aim for the past few windows ….

Nice to see that ‘Chelsea know what they are doing’. Fined £8.5 m and back in the cross-hairs of the FA again. Seems the FA have a good idea of what Chelsea are doing too.

{Ed002's Note - You should begin your posts, "Speaking from a position of complete ignorance ....". TThe "fine" was actually a settlement - and it was Chelsea who declared the misdeclaration to the FA.

When you know nothing about a subject, it is best to say nothing and therefore avoid embarrassing yourself and the other Liverpool supporters.}
