So we have one less CM.
Weāve apparently outbid Chelsea for Caicedo
Wouldnāt count Thiago as āoneā tbh, more a 1/3 less of a CM.
Between Baj/Jones they can play the 200 minutes heāll have otherwise featured in the upcoming season, maybe sign Andre in Jan to take the burden if becomes too much.
Is it April 1st?
Why would he prefer Chelsea over LFC? They have no Euro football and are a mess. Can only be money and for that reason theres no way LFC would bid for a player who is a) money motivated and b) wants to go somewhere else.
I think its our response to them outbidding Lavia. A proper school ground game of my bids bigger than your bid. A nice little āfuck off Toddā

Would be amazing if we did get Caicedo and they got Lavia after all this fucking about,
Well this has thrown a spanner into the worksā¦
A third is better than no one and the money doesnāt seem to be being used on anything.
Weād be nuts to sell Thiago now unless weāve got Caicedo, Lavia and one more centre mid signed sealed and ready for the Joyce announcement tweet.

Iām guessing this is part of the dance, trying to force Southamptonās hand. Would be fantastic if we signed Caicedo though, we should have been braver and gambled on him last summer.
Either way, would be nice for this all to be concluded soon.
