Who told Frank Martial was almost 100m?
There's too much noice about Chelsea not playing in Europe. That's just at most 13 less matches, assuming Chelsea wouldve gone all the way to the final
2 goals 1 assist in like 50 fkin games
CHELSEA PLEASE SIGN PLAYER AGE ABOVE 18 YEARS OLD TO AGE BELOW 24 YEARS OLD BECAUSE LIKE THIS ALL PLAYER CAN PLAY FOOTBALL MINIMUM 10 YEARS TO MAXIMUM 16 YEARS
Wow! Stevie talking sense and Frank being the sceptic ! Of course Caicedo is worth more to Chelsea as they have Enzo, he's the missing piece in their jigsaw. If clubs worried he may get injured nobody would ever be signed 😉
Stevie always mugging off chelsea. This man is a clown.
This Brighton Coach has pride 😢
I will not pay more than 70m. Have a look at Zubimendi or Amrabat. Last season we paid 70m for W Fofana he’s been injured most of the season and now the entire season again. We got Cucurella from Brighton for plus 60m and now he’s no where near that value.
Look this is now a waiting game. The player wants out, Brighton promised the player that he will get his promised move if such comes. Brighton have lost allready, they will end up with unmotivated players, because broken promises. I bet the sale will happen and price will end up between 72,5-85 million, because Chelsea said that its the limit, so Brighton tries to play long game in negotiations, but they know they lost allready. Brighton will never get 100 million for Caicedo. I reckon the sale happens this week.
Chelsea. What a dump. It’s up in the air which fan base is the most delusional in the already delusional premiership.
Yes you are in europe this season. But youve got no history and trophy 😊
I think we need to tell Brighton a price and stick to it, not meet their very unreasonable valuation. Still early in the window, let's start looking at alternatives. Santos is class in that DM slot, let's get someone else in to push him for it, a CB cover, someone young with loads of potential, and the rest depending on any outgoing loans.
I will also be a happy camper if they sign caicedo
Gobfor Tchoumni on loan, and pichup Caisedo next year, let Brighton know their place
This guy is no Kante. Spending that much money on a guy who doesn't score goals is crazy! Keep these young players and build something with them. Those are the players who will eventually pay off.
I'm sick and tired now. We have Santos leave this caicedo
70 million is already too much
even if you reach europa league, you won't win it lol just cuz brighten had one good season they think they are real Madrid, it would be unwise to compare our trophy cabinets
We got SANTOSS
His head is already turned ,if they don’t sell him this summer he’ll lose value . Chelsea will not overpay and they’ll return in January if they need too
Look at cucurella and stop buying overpriced players
We should go for Tchoameni instead!!!
Brightons owner made a good point. Why does Chelsea need caicedo? Brighton are the ones who are competing in Europe next year and need the quality and depth
I think chelsea have to draw a line hes not worth 100 mil. Clubs will keep asking for higher and higher prices for players that should not be valued that high. I say move on
I understand he is a good player, but there are always other options. Sorry, a player coming from Brighton is not going to make Chelsea world beaters. I feel like 70m is max. Sometimes is good to leave, get options.
De zerbi is an embarrassment. One Europa league qualification and he can't contain himself 😂
Manchester United?
Move on get someone else . Brighton being greedy again teach them a lesson .
Because of theses stupid media keep saying how much Chelsea need, now price is crazy 🤣
Why did Martial catch an extra stray bullet
He wants to go to chelsea, this younglings why you wanna go with this owner and under pochettino he was in psg and did nothing it's a bad idea they are rebooting the club and we will see if they are going into right direction, he should stay in brighton and accomplish something with them in europe or premier league, the brighton have chemistry etc. he is young and money offers will always be there
I think Chelsea forgotten to buy while busy in sell.

Boehly has spent a billion pounds on players since his arrival and yet that is still not enough.
Chelsea need Caicedo bad, but overpaying on him will cause so many more problems. The negotation are taking too long, Chelsea need to move on to their alternatives and other targets before it is too late. Also, Andrey Santos has been impressing so there is a minor argument for Chelsea to buy a cheaper, worse defensive midfielder to allow for Santos to get more game time and develop further.
Answer is absolutely yes, Chelsea can afford to Not get Caicedo, mainly because of the ridicolous price tag. That player hasn't yet proven he's worth more than 75 mil at the most.
