The PL won’t do anything. They are probably delighted that Chelsea are spending all this money to keep top players in the league. The only thing they are concerned about is the Saudi buying power and they will see Chelsea as a bulwark against it.

Chelsea vs Liverpool - Premier League, 13th August @ 4.30pm
Michael replied to ynwa.tv's topic in Liverpool FC
We could do with a couple of really strong, athletic players in the middle of the park. Back to Thuram and Kone. -
I think he’s definitely going, but it’s still fluid as to where he ends up. I just think somehow that we are not overly serious about him. He’s a back up which we may or may not be forced into.
-
He’s been saying goodbye to teammates since they were relegated. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
-
Brighton have probably stuck to it as much as they could. They can’t make Caicedo sign for us. His agent is the tw*t.

I really don’t think players give a damn if they are getting enough money. Most of them can’t think for themselves and are probably by their agents told how many Bentleys and Rolexes they can buy each week if they just put their X on a contract.
-
Although two years ago he was unheard of and worth £4m. Brighton seem to get the best out of players. There is always the chance that he won’t shine in the same way elsewhere. Chelsea haven’t exactly excelled with anyone they took from Brighton from manager to players.
-
I genuinely believe we had some encouragement from the player, but then the agent stepped in and scuppered everything because he has a private agreement with Chelsea.
-
We may have offered a large part of the price upfront and they want to pay the whole thing over three or four generations as they usually do.
-
There does seem to be some reason why they can’t just offer Brighton the full price and get it done and dusted now. If Caicedo is set on going there, then they have no problem with that part, but it looks like they are struggling to match our offer. We should not withdraw. Let’s see if they do.

Chelsea just don’t want to pay the money. It’s a weird stance trying to get us to withdraw so that the price drops. Brighton know what he’s worth now and Tony Bloom would win in a head to head with Daniel Levy so Todd Boehly had better find an extra £30m from somewhere and be seen to have been had over. None of that helps us of course, but football really is eating itself now.
-
If we were haggling over £2m to get to £50m, we are not going to go up £7m. Also if they are just using Lavia like they used Adams, they will find it very difficult to negotiate with any player or club in the future.
-
Because we were bidding against somebody. Chelsea appear to be bidding against themselves.
-
Why have they bid £55m if his price is £50m?
-
Latest odds show him as 2/5 and shortening to join Chelsea. 11/4 and lengthening to join us. We should bet our £111m on him joining them, withdraw our bid and then have enough to buy Mbappe.
-
Even if we don’t get him, it looks like we are bankrupting Chelsea.
-
Yes, but we do it openly. I reckon Chelsea have made a side deal with the agent that won’t be declared.
-
I reckon the agent is getting a large offshore fee from Chelsea and Liverpool only want to pay Brighton. That’s probably why we have offered more openly, but it would cost Chelsea quite a bit more to clinch the deal and they don’t have enough left to match our offer.
-
He was desperate to join Arsenal, now Chelsea. Most likely he just wants London.
-
Lavia may be a back up. It’s possible we are waiting to see if Real Madrid are forced to buy Mbappe now and will sell Tchouameni or Valverde to pay for him.
