Basically minutes/games played ( caicedo some 130 games internationals included).
How we do DD on players and we will bid for them if and when we feel they reach certain markers.
How we view Lavia as someone who has potential (as others here have stated) but we won’t bid more than what we feel is our estimate for a player with limited game time etc.
They mention we like players (for really big bids to have played 150-200 games) but feel caicedo having played 130 in internationals and first team etc qualifies our requirements.
They’re cunts. But I have far more issue with with the way they have conducted themselves over Adams than over this. At least as of Saturday morning. This is a blood sport and teams fight to advance their own interest. But the longer this goes on without a resolution the more apparent it will have been that Chelsea were acting in an underhanded way.
Pop up ads are a pain on the phone, you delete one another pops up , delete that then they reconfigure the page with other ads and the layout of the article changes
Pop ups and ads I can deal with. The dynamic page positioning as the ads change is what kills me. Reading my computer without reading glasses is already a PitA without moving the paragraph I’m trying to read every 20 seconds.
My only assumption on first Lavia bid was to unnerve us a bit for the weekend or to push Brighton into agreeing on Caciedo.
They haven’t got the money for both it would seem and 48m at the time was still below what Soton was offering unless they had wind Liverpool were interested in Caciedo at that time.
Tyler Adams was evidently the cut price second DM their treatment on that is shoddy.
Only way Lavia ends up there is if Caciedo comes here and it wouldn’t surprise me if Caciedo comes here they withdraw the Lavia bid.
