We have had a busy transfer window in the background, with very little fuss. Chelsea are dragging out a bid for Caicedo but that’s not our concern.

We don’t want to sell, however we aren’t Man City, every player has a price at which we are forced to sell, because as you say it’s ‘huge’ money and the player wants to leave.
I don’t think the club want to sell in the slightest as they know Moises is an asset that’s incredibly unlikely to decrease in value.

I think you'll find that's a pre-season matchday hamstring pull.Training hard with a hamstring pull

Exactly. TBH, I'm surprised they haven't come in with at least an enquiry. I'm sure they're not actually short of money, and they haven't spent much this summer.
He's been hopping over the training ground like nobody's business.Training hard with a hamstring pull
By the time the Luton game comes around he'll have built up the strength in the other leg so much he'll just look like a massive sentient calf muscle.

I wonder if the deadline was the start of the season, which is why the noise about Chelsea dreaming of him being presented at Sunday’s match has begun.
All speculation of course. If they sign Adams and Lavia, surely they can’t also splurge £100m on Caicedo with any pretence that they’re following FFP.

Yes, could be.
I would be happier to see the two of them at Liverpool than Moises strengthening another premier team ,but much rather he stayed.

Butted up against FFP like so many clubs - except those that just f***ing cheat!

We have? A couple of average deals and a free transfer. Pedro was done before the window opened. Pedro apart have we haven’t upgraded which could be a concern.

Liverpool made a profit in the 2021-22 season. Their losses in the previous two seasons were £60M in total. They've sold £50M worth of player this window. They're not pushing up against FFP.

You can only buy players within a transfer window. Pedro, Milner, Igor, Verbruggen all good signings that improve the squad. Adingra integrated into the first team squad likewise.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

He had a pretty nasty hamstring injury last season, which I'm sure would have put a lot of teams off. Also his passing isn't quite top quality.
But for £20m, it does seem cheap.
So do i, went to Stamford Bridge a couple of times in the 70s when the Albion where playing some distance away.(could not afford to go) horrible fans.And some right nasty players.
Pretty sure 4 or 5 signings is about the average for teams who are successful the following season.
Any more or less and it's too much disruption or the squad stagnates, respectively.
Bit more than that. Pedro, Igor, Dahoud, Milner, Verbruggen - all improve the squad in their own ways IMO (at the moment, need to wait and see how they all bed into De Zerbi's system). Kudus TBC.
And then there's potentially promising youngsters - Atom, Mazilu - who I suspect could see Prem time this season.
And that's all before we consider players who've returned from loan, such as Adingra. We have a stronger, deeper squad today than we had when the window opened. And in terms of "first pick" losses, at the moment it's only Alexis and I'm not too concerned about that as I think we have youngsters who will develop well to replace him. If/when we lose Caicedo - that's a concern, not sure we have anyone in the squad who immediately steps up to that standard.

Yes, but why would you believe a (famously honest) actual player rather than a Twitter no mark who says he’s downed tools?
