Hmm... let's see who was first, shall we?

You guessed it... Chelsea.

We've made 40+ signings in the past three years for two clubs and you've made 2. Not the flex you think it is. Corrupt, cheat and nasty organisation Liverpool are. Zero integrity.

Bounce from my thread, bum.

It appears Chelsea are looking to bring in Maignan.

Good signing if true, not hip to how Maignan has progressed since his dominant B2B league winning campaigns at Lille and Milan, but he's one of the very best sweepers and distributors in the world and it'd aid us in our pursuit to control the game more.

Sanchez is one of the worst ball players in the league and at one point in the season was single handedly turning potential wins into draws and draws into losses with his mishaps.

He locked in the final stretch of the season, but I'm still not opposed to seeing him go.

MM is small though, Sanchez's best ability was probably how dominant he was on set pieces. Maignan's age profile is perfect though as a bridge keeper until our prodigy Mike Penders is ready to assume the #1 spot.

Can get sold if he can recoup a profit.

This giant is the only keeper I have my eyes on for the long term position at Chelsea, a year loan at Strasbourg under Rosenior will be perfect.

Why is Delap on a giant hockey puck?

Could also be that Rogers and he are friends. Both were in Manchester City's academy together. But, then again, your theory could be proven true.

Allegedly his agent is pushing for a move.

I'd take either him or Simons or Kudus (got some links yesterday). Along with Jamie Gittens.

Nice little attack retool.

Yep. Can't go into the UCL with Jackson/Madueke/Neto as core figures representing this glorious institution. Clear those bums out brick by brick.

I don't think we get Ekitike and I don't really mind either way, I'm content with Delap + it gives us a warchest to spend on a winger after JBG.

I know you've been linked with Ekitike, but I'm not certain if Chelsea will actually go for another striker now that I see this.

Reminds me of the Enzo Benfica Rui Costa saga.

Get the deal done in time for him to join for the CWC KOs.

Maybe blame Chelsea for the low-balling offer, just as the Blues did with Milan for Maignan.

Milan sold Reijnders, their best player in his prime for 40 million and had the gall to request 25 million for an over the hill Mike Minion on an expiring. That's an objectively horrid deal, and I'm glad we walked away from that.

The world is watching Leverkusen pull your pants down for Wirtz and you're siding with the abusers instead of one of the few clubs left fighting for an actual cause.

Gittens' passion for the club is moving me though. When you're big, you're big. Get my son in, on our terms.

Yep.

We're taking a stand against this market. While your club dying to shatter the all time PL transfer record (((again))), we're triggering shrewd release clauses. You're planning on bidding 100 million for a striker and we're walking away from deals a quarter of the price because of hard line evaluation limits.

Makes me so proud to support the club I do.

Quite laughable and hypocritical.

Were you saying the same when Chelsea purchased Kepa? Then Enzo? And then again for Caicedo? Of course you're weren't. Glad to know it's okay for the Blues but not Liverpool.

Chelsea have signed Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao for £71m - the highest fee ever paid for a goalkeeper, and a club record transfer.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45120514

Chelsea have signed Benfica's Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a British record 121m euro (£107m) transfer fee.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64463077

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for a British record fee of £115m.

Love how you try and justify this. Fact is your club has done this repeatedly, regardless of the ownership or reasoning.

By the way, a quick Google search yielded this:

Brighton & Hove Albion are looking for £100million ($128m) from Chelsea if they are to land Moises Caicedo this summer.

There has been contact between the clubs at executive level and Chelsea have registered their interest in signing the Ecuador midfielder, although figures haven’t yet been discussed.

Brighton regard Declan Rice’s potential departure from West Ham United to Arsenal as a benchmark for Caicedo’s value and believe Caicedo is at least as good, if not better, than Rice.

And because your club upset Brighton, hoping Caicedo's shenanigans (failing to report to training) would reduce the fee, Chelsea ended up paying more in the end.

Nope, that isn't the context.

Brighton tried to wring us for Colwill in the deal whomst we had loaned out to them that season under RDZ, the most promising U21 CB in the league at that point. They never had an intention of doing an honest deal. They tried to unsettle Colwill, as did Liverpool and hoped for him to not extend his contract.

Read on Twitter


When he rejected the idea of going to both Brighton & Liverpool (what's new) and extended, Brighton shifted negotiations again. Constantly stalling and working and changing terms on the fly. A wild goose chase.

And then comes Liverpool at the 11th hour, and with a PL record bid. Alarm bells.

Read on Twitter


We hadn't heard about Liverpool's involvement in the Caicedo deal until the bid was accepted, which was mid August mind you. Liverpool were strongly linked to Manu Kone, K Thuram, Romeo Lavia that summer. Both the world & Moises Caicedo were only notified of Liverpool’s interest the day the bid went in, that means Liverpool purposely went to Brighton first, without going to Caicedo.

Brighton's plan was to completely blind side Chelsea out of spite regarding Levi Colwill, and Liverpool hierarchy assumed once the deal had been agreed Caicedo would auto-join which is why Ornstein reported personal terms as a “formality”.

Read on Twitter


Little did they know that Moises Caicedo had the heart of a lion and wasn't interested in your shady backdoor games.

Read on Twitter


My engine, my rock, my inspiration. Sir Moises Caicedo.

And for good measure to put you in your place we took Lavia as well.
